NBC has inaugurated a power generation plant of Photovoltaic cells in its headquarters in Ramallah, which generates 320 kilowatts of electricity to meet 90% of the power needs of NBC headquarters and main warehouses, which will contribute to protecting the environment by reducing carbon emissions.

NBC has launched the "We Are All Able" Campaign in cooperation with the Arab Bank and Siniora Food Industries for three years in a row. This campaign aims at sponsoring three students each year, enabling them to pursue a master’s degree in business with their expenses paid by the three companies.
Since its establishment, NBC has been interested in easing the burden of the neediest sectors of Palestinian society. A special focus has been those children whose families can no longer afford the school fees and stationery required in order to send their children to school. Over the years, NBC has supported the "Back to School" campaign, in which thousands of school bags and sets of stationery have been distributed to children across Palestine whose parents are unemployed or the needy parents from various governorates in Palestine.
NBC has installed two waste water treatment units, one at the Cappy plant in Kufor Zibad and the other at the Jericho plant. These units treat the industrial effluent generated by the plants, rendering it suitable for irrigation and agricultural use. The plants also provide farmers in the area with treated water.
NBC gave a woman some useable solid waste generated from its plants in the form of glass and plastic bottles. These items were recycled into innovative and decorative designs. Plastic bottles were used to make a chandelier and glass bottles were used to make a mirror.
Since its establishment, NBC has been interested in promoting healthy living among school students and encouraging them to participate in sporting activities. Since 2009, NBC in partnership with the Ministry of Education have sponsored COPA Coca–Cola, a football championship to challenge boys and girls in upper elementary school.
NBC pays special attention to children -- particularly children with special needs. One way we have demonstrated our care for children has been by setting up libraries at hospitals across Palestine. NBC opened the first library of its kind for children at the Government Hospital in Ramallah, in cooperation with the Palestinian Ministry of Health and the hospital. The second library was opened in Jenin in cooperation with the Governmental Hospital of Jenin. Additional libraries have been opened at the following hospitals: Mohammad Al-Dura Hospital in Jabalia, Gaza Strip Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir Al-Balah, Gaza Strip Beit-Jala Governmental Hospital in Bethlehem The Childcare Association in Ramallah Governmental Hospital in Hebron Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah Darwish Nazzal Hospital in Qalqilya, Dr. Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital in Tulkarm, Al Shefa Medical Complex in Gaza The results of this project have spectacular. The libraries have created havens which help children at the hospitals to cope with loneliness and with the unpleasant treatments they may have to endure. In addition, the libraries represent an investment in developing the capabilities of the children who use them.
