Bank of Valletta has upped its investment in its scan and digitisation project by investing in a newly relocated Digital Operations Unit. The Bank is gaining momentum in its project to scan and digitise documentation, with the main aim of improving data security while supporting the Bank’s efforts in its transition to a more environmentally friendly bank. Since November 2022, the Digital Operations Unit has scanned over 46 million pages of documents that were located in the Bank’s archives.
Bank of Valletta Chairperson Dr Gordon Cordina, CEO Kenneth Farrugia and Chief Operations Officer Ernest Agius recently paid an official visit to the newly relocated Digital Operations Unit responsible for the digitisation project. During this visit, the Executive Team had the opportunity to experience the Bank’s digitising process first-hand and meet the staff responsible for this transformation.
Noel Vassallo, Head of Digital Operations Unit, stated that “the electronic filing system not only facilitates the quick retrieval of documents; it also ensures full compliance with legal and regulatory obligations, where we only retain physical copies of documentation that the Bank is legally required to keep.”
BOV’s Chief Operations Officer, Ernest Agius, explained that this system is improving the Bank’s operational processes, reducing the need for physical storage and enhancing the retrieval and management of documents. He added that “BOV is working tirelessly to make its entire documentation digital so that we can do away with paper. It is another step in the right direction in support of sustainability, having already introduced digital signatures on bank applications and agreements. In the first six months of 2025, the Bank has saved over 44,600 sheets of paper. More benefits are expected to be reaped as the initiative continues to gather speed.
Bank of Valletta is positioning sustainability at the forefront of its business investment, with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices at the heart of the Bank’s operations. The Bank’s ESG strategy is based on striving towards a net-zero impact and climate resilience in internal activities, manifested in initiatives such as the digitisation of documentation. Other initiatives include eco-efficient projects aimed at reducing both direct and indirect emissions, generally referred to as Scope 1, 2 and 3.
As part of the Bank’s commitment to contribute to the reduction of the country’s carbon footprint, it also introduced the walk-to-print concept, eliminating printing devices in each office at BOV Centre. This has decreased printing considerably, saving €53,000 in paper and €20,000 in printing costs. This equates to a reduction of at least 6.7 million sheets of paper or 31 tonnes of CO2 less.

Bank of Valletta employees are continuing to make a real difference in the community, with 352 employees participating in over 30 volunteering initiatives between January and June in 2025. These efforts supported 12 NGOs working in the social and environmental sectors.
Earlier this year the Bank issued a call to NGOs, offering the support of volunteers under the BOV Corporate and Social Responsibility program. The response was extremely positive, with various organisations welcoming hands-on help for the daily activities they carry out in the fulfilment of their mission.
Among the NGOs supported over the past six months were Grow 10 Trees, AAA, Horse Lagoon Foundation, ACT Malta, Soup Kitchen, Din l-Art Ħelwa, Nature Trust, Caritas, BirdLife Malta, Żibel, the St Jeanne Antide Foundation, and Coast is Clear.
One of the standout moments was the participation of the Bank’s Executive Team at the Soup Kitchen. The team worked alongside other colleagues in the service of vulnerable members of society. “We’re proud of how our people continue to make a positive impact in the communities we serve,” said Kenneth Farrugia, CEO of the Bank. “Volunteering is a reflection of the Bank’s values, and when we roll up our sleeves and work together, we not only support those in need but also strengthen our own culture of unity and purpose.”
The Banks’ volunteering program was introduced as one of the benefits employees have to promote social responsibility and well-being through hands-on community involvement. It also contributes to team building, with employees from different functions and backgrounds coming together to support noble causes.
“Giving our people the space to contribute in a meaningful way through volunteering is part of our broader approach to a purpose-driven culture,” said Ray Debattista, Chief People & Culture Officer. “Volunteering fosters empathy, personal growth, and stronger team spirit. It is a win-win, for our people and for the community.”
Ernest Agius, Chief Operations Officer at the Bank added, “Volunteering brings people closer; it helps increase connection, collaboration, and the kind of shared purpose that drives change inside and outside the organisation. As we look ahead to the second half of 2025, more volunteering activities are being planned in response to the ongoing needs of local NGOs and communities.”
A business delegation made up of Malta-based private enterprises and government entities—primarily from the training and education sector—joined a high-profile business mission to Osaka, Japan, from the 14th to the 22nd of July led by TradeMalta. The mission took place in conjunction with Malta’s official participation at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai.
The initiative aimed to strengthen commercial ties between Malta, Japan and the rest of the world, serve an opportunity to promote bilateral cooperation, and explore new business opportunities with a particular focus in the field of training and education.
This trade mission coincided with Education Week at Expo 2025, themed “Learning and Playing”, which explored future-focused trends in education such as play-based learning, technology, inclusion, and cross-cultural exchange.
The business mission also took place during the celebration of Malta Day, at the Expo on 17th July.
Throughout the week, the Maltese delegation participated in several business fora, B2B meetings, and networking events hosted by the Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Embassy of Malta in Japan.
A highlight of the programme was the Japan–Malta Business Forum, which took place on Friday, 18th July, where Hon. Dr Ian Borg, Deputy Prime Minister of Malta, delivered an official address.
The delegates also took part in a series of events at Malta’s Pavilion during Expo 2025, where they engaged with Japanese and other international stakeholders to promote Malta’s international profile in education, innovation, and enterprise.
The programme included one-on-one business meetings and follow-up engagements designed to lay the groundwork for future collaboration and market entry into Japan and the wider Asia-Pacific region.
TradeMalta encourages Malta-based companies interested in international expansion to get in touch with their ideas and plans. We look forward to offering guidance and resources to help turn their internationalization plans into successful endeavours.
The HSBC Malta Foundation has made a donation to the RISe Foundation to support Malta’s first rehabilitation and reintegration programme designed for female offenders. The donation funded the purchase of a vehicle that will play a key role in facilitating the programme’s daily operations and outreach efforts.
The van will provide residents with access to essential services such as education sessions, healthcare and therapeutic appointments, and community-based activities all of which are integral to their rehabilitation and reintegration journey.
Dr Paula Mamo, Deputy Chairperson for the HSBC Malta Foundation commented: “Rehabilitation is not just about reform – it’s about restoring dignity, unlocking potential, and creating safer communities. Through this donation, we are proud to support RISe Foundation’s pioneering work and the women who are determined to rebuild their lives with courage and purpose.”
Matthew Degiorgio, Education Coordinator at the RISe Foundation, expressed heartfelt appreciation for the support:”Your support not only helps us meet practical needs but also reinforces our belief in second chances. It empowers us to continue our mission of walking alongside individuals with complex, often traumatic pasts, and guiding them in reshaping their futures in ways that benefit both themselves and the wider community.”
Charlie Mifsud, Chairperson at the RISe Foundation highlights that “the female programme offers a structured and supportive environment for women nearing the end of their prison sentence, with a strong emphasis on comprehensive rehabilitation and reintegration to reduce the risk of reoffending. Without adequate support, those leaving prison face a much higher likelihood of returning to criminal behaviour, which can lead to further harm and pose risks to public safety.”
This initiative forms part of the HSBC Malta Foundation’s broader commitment to supporting vulnerable communities and fostering social inclusion across the country.
