Dubai Chamber Supports UAE’s Year Of Giving With 24 CSR Initiatives

 The Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry has revealed that it has organised a total of 24 Corporate Social Responsibility, CSR, initiatives in 2017, which supported the UAE’s Year of Giving and benefitted more than 20,000 people across five countries.

Throughout the year, the chamber organised donations in countries where it operates representative offices. Educational supplies were donated and distributed by the chamber staff to several underprivileged schools in Ghana, Mozambique, Ethiopia, and Azerbaijan.

In cooperation with the China Chamber of International Commerce, Dubai Chamber recently donated medical supplies to the Shanghai Red Cross, which were used to train volunteers to care for more than 10,000 elderly people.

Hamad Buamim, President and CEO of Dubai Chamber, said, "The Year of Giving was a major focus of our international offices in 2017 as it helped strengthen the UAE’s position as a global humanitarian leader. The donations fall in line with our CSR strategy and strong commitment to contributing to society wherever we operate.

We plan to expand our charitable efforts in 2018 as we celebrate the humanitarian legacy of the founding father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and follow in his footsteps. The chamber will support this national initiative with the aim of instilling such values and principles within the business community."
