Speaking about the Arabia CSR Awards’ tenth cycle Arabia CSR Network President and CEO Habiba Al Mar’ashi said, “The Arabia CSR Awards is really the premier sustainability benchmark of the Arab Region. Organisations use the award criteria and their results to compare themselves to the best in class across size, sector and geography. The detailed criteria, which are based on international principles and standards, allow organisations to assess where they stand in terms of sustainability best practices recognised globally. By mandating sustainability reporting, we have managed to, through the awards, to push for greater transparency and reporting among organisations in our Region. In this and so many other ways, our award is far more advanced and impactful than other initiatives of its kind. We are delighted to see how the awards have grown over the past decade, - a testimony of its reputation and prestige. This year we are especially happy to be celebrating ten successful years of the award. We hope in the future the Arabia CSR Awards will continue to be a powerful medium through which organisations can showcase their efforts towards promoting sustainable development in the Arab region.”
