The company announced that vaccines will be available for all 1200 employees, including sales representatives, production-line workers, and the administration team.
Mohamed Al Morsi, Chairman and Managing Director at Mondeléz Egypt Foods, said “Our Strategy puts our employees’ health and safety at the forefront of our priorities, and we are proud to announce that we inaugurated a vaccine drive service inside our premises to Mondelēz Egypt employees who prefer to get vaccinated. The company is always ready and willing to do what’s right to ensure a safe and healthy work environment to its employees in line with the efforts that the government provides for the private sector and development partners.”
Al Morsi went on to add that “we are proud to be among the industrial sector’s first companies to collaborate with the Ministry of Health. We are extremely thankful for the Ministry’s continuous support and immediate response in making vaccines available.” Moreover, the Healthcare Authority praised the efforts exerted by Mondeléz Egypt Foods and stressed that it is setting an example for the ultimate collaboration between public and private sectors during crises.
