EQUATE wins top Middle East CSR award
Honoring its Sharing Success philosophy
On this occasion, EQUATE VP Technical Services and head of EQUATE CSR Team Mohammad Al Benali said, "The Company has launched several initiatives relevant to community awareness, education, health, environment and other fields with the aim of achieving overall sustainability within and outside Kuwait."
Al Benali added, "Among these initiatives are a number of campaigns that addressed breast cancer (Keep Your Life Rosy), obesity (Lighten Up), hypertension (Stay Normal) and community awareness about the plastics industry (Plastic ... Fantastic); in additional to annual university scholarships in cooperation with the Ministry of Higher Education and numerous corporate contributions to several organizations; as well as a number of environmental ventures that include Kuwait's first project green carbon project and the Middle East's first plant water recycle project."
Al Benali expressed utmost appreciation to the award's organizers and their role in recognizing the efforts of EQUATE which has received numerous recognitions, adding "The Company does not view this award and others as rewards, they are sources of encouragement to dedicate more efforts into implementing the principles of sustainability to the fullest by continuing EQUATE's Sharing Success philosophy."
