Sohar Aluminium Volunteering Programme breaks record

Sohar Aluminium employees completed 884 man-hours of community volunteering initiatives in 2016, setting a new record for the company.

Said al Masoudi, Sohar Aluminium’s Chief Executive Officer said: “We firmly believes in supporting and giving back to the local community where we operate through encouraging our employees into community volunteering. These commitments establish corporate citizenship as one of the core business pillars of SA’s business strategy.” Said continued: “Since its initiation, Sohar Aluminium’s mission has been to bring wealth, prosperity and growth to the Al Batinah Governorate through excellence and ownership. We take pride in contributing to the social development of the region and we thank our ambassadors of good deeds who have brought great value to our community.”

Sohar Aluminium’s Corporate Citizenship Champion, Dana Geadah said: “Seeing the employees’ high interest in community volunteering, we launched the Sohar Aluminium Volunteering Programme in 2014. We encouraged employees to come up with ideas for causes that they feel strongly about, and support communities through their areas of expertise. Since then the program has gone from strength to strength. A large number of employees played a big role in launching excellent awareness campaigns and addressing community needs in deeply impactful ways. The greatest sacrifice you can give is your time and care to those in need.”

The Sohar Aluminium Volunteering Programme is now recognized as one of the most active and outstanding community service programs in the region. This is all due to the commitment, devotion and willingness of the employees who have been actively participating and initiating various activities to support the community.

The initiatives are tailored around the employees’ skills and areas of expertise to promote the company’s ‘Zero Harm’ mind-set in the local community, care for the well-being of its members and preserve the integrity of the environment. Employees who are interested in volunteering are continually influencing and shaping the programme to maximize its benefits, and serve the society at large.
