The growth of ITL Cosmos Group and Dubai has been in tandem - in developmental aspirations, success and far-sighted vision. Today, the company is part of government initiatives such as Dubai Cares, Honour Labour campaign and Green Dubai.
The company has inculcated in its people that the customer always has a choice. Its corporate social responsibility initiatives have been part of the company's long-term strategy.

During its 50th anniversary celebrations in 2003, the Group was honoured by Shaikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai and UAE Minister of Finance.
