EgyptAir has recently been keen to activate its role in implementing social responsibility programmes in various fields, believing in the importance of participating in community service and achieving its goals.
The national company’s contribution to many charitable and community works encouraged the Arab Council for Social Responsibility to honour the company and grant it the Arab Charitable Award “in recognition of its distinguished role in the field of sustainable development and being the official carrier of most charitable works and participations, as well as the company’s tireless efforts in supporting the national economy.
Amr Abu El-Enein expressed his happiness for EgyptAir winning this award, stressing that the company has made many efforts since its establishment on May 7, 1932 to achieve the goals of sustainable development, serve the goals of society, and sponsor initiatives, especially charitable causes, that contribute to serving the people of this country, as well as sponsoring all the events and occasions it hosts.
Dr Randa Rizk, Secretary-General of the Arab Council for Social Responsibility, said that the award comes in light of the council’s continuous work to support sustainable development goals and to maximise humanitarian and volunteer work, especially in the era of community leadership.
The Secretary-General of the Arab Council for Social Responsibility emphasized the Egyptian and Arab efforts to support humanitarian and voluntary work to contribute to achieving sustainable development goals that would support development goals in the Arab world.
She added that the Arab Charitable Award aims to monitor the best charitable works directed in the Arab world, whether at the individual or institutional level.
