This commitment is evident in its vision of citizenship where it aspires “to be influencer leader in creating sustainable social and economic opportunities for the welfare of the Kingdom and any other location where it has operations”.
Our company has been very well-recognized since the early days of the Kingdom for contributing to the development of the nation. This is a very important part of the Company’s history, and something we are very proud of.
We all remember the early contributions of the company to the development of the kingdom infrastructurewhich we have focused on addressing the basic needs of the community such providing water and electricity, improving basic health hygiene, building schools, and introducing the urban planning.
The story of eradicating diseases like malaria and trachoma is quite a compelling one, in which the company pledged to a 15-years research with Harvard to develop a cure to these two pandemics just to protect the health of its employees and their communities.
Not only that it did, it has also dedicated a team of environmental health inspectors, local health promotion representatives and toured eastern province cities and remote villages to educate people and promote health hygiene.
Behind this commitment of stewardship is a continuous strive to excellence by the Company and its people … it was for those who have made an extraordinary use of their time, talent, and energy just to make a difference.
There are hundreds of stories of success driven by a deep-rooted sense of commitment and a genuine aspiration to excellence … a commitment that is made by ordinary people like me and you; front- liners, managers and executives who are determined to make a difference and always aim higher.
