In line with the Year of Giving, Borouge, a leading petrochemical company, has launched its 'Borouge without Borders' initiative aimed at strengthening employees' contribution in supporting humanitarian causes.
Over 40 volunteers from Borouge visited the Autism Centre at the Zayed Higher Organisation for Humanitarian Care and Special Needs in Abu Dhabi as well as its branch of Gayathi Centre in Ruwais to support the autistic children with their lessons in arts, music, English and sports, entertaining them and showing interest in what they are doing and learning.
"The inspiring declaration of the President, His Highness Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to consider 2017 a 'Year of Giving' reveals the leadership's vision of promoting the principles of social responsibility and attributing to the prosperity of people by valuating the noble meaning of volunteering and giving back to society," said Ahmed Omar Abdulla, CEO of Abu Dhabi Polymers Company (Borouge). "Our new initiative is a great example of Borouge's commitment to the UAE community through which our employees are able to offer their time and support to the society."
"In the year ahead, Borouge will be reinforcing its 'Borouge without Borders' initiative focusing on involving more of its people to make a difference in the lives of people in the less fortunate communities across the regions where Borouge operates," he added.
