7 maltatoday | SUNDAY • 7 SEPTEMBER 2025 COMMERCIAL BOV employees donate hair for a good cause HER Excellency Myriam Spiteri Debono, President of Malta, re- cently received a heartfelt do- nation of hair from employees of Bank of Valletta. The hair will be used to create wigs that will be distributed by the Malta Community Chest Fund Foun- dation to patients undergoing treatment for cancer and other medical conditions. This initiative, coordinated by the BOV Sports and Social Com- mittee (BOVSSC), highlights the solidarity and generosity of BOV employees who came forward in a gesture of solidarity to help restore dignity and hope to pa- tients going through very chal- lenging times. Speaking during the presenta- tion, Her Excellency, the Pres- ident of Malta, expressed her sincere appreciation to the Bank for its commitment to the cause and for being a force of solidarity in Maltese society, and thanked the employees who contributed generously to this initiative by the BOV Sports and Social Com- mittee. Ernest Agius, President of the BOVSSC and Chief Operations Officer at Bank of Valletta, ac- companied employees on this visit. He explained that "At Bank of Valletta, we believe in going beyond the mere provision of financial services, by contrib- uting to the well-being of our community. This initiative re- flects the compassion and soli- darity that lie at the heart of the Bank's values. We commend our employees' gesture in donating something very personal, such as their hair, to people in need. Through the BOV Foundation, and as a founding member of the Malta ESG Alliance, we remain committed to those initiatives that improve the lives of others and strengthen Maltese society as a whole." The Bank has long supported the work of the Malta Communi- ty Chest Fund Foundation, rec- ognising its vital role in assisting individuals and families facing health and social challenges. Mr Agius further explained how the generosity of BOV employees in this instance dovetails with the values of solidarity and com- passion that define the MCCF Foundation. Spearheaded by the BOVSSC arm of the Bank, which is essen- tially a team of BOV volunteers who dedicate their time and ef- fort to engage people across the Bank, this initiative helps create a lasting positive impact in line with its ESG strategy and ongo- ing commitment to the Maltese community.
