Eddie Ignatius, Corporate Director of
Quality & Business Excellence, TIME Hotels, said: “We are very much a
community-focused company and receiving this official label for the fifth year
in a row highlights our commitment and consistency. It also allows us to
benchmark our own initiatives against those of other forward-thinking companies
in Dubai, for whom CSR is an integral part of their overall business strategy.”
Launched in 2010 to reward corporate
commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, the CSR Label
is awarded based on performance scores across seven different criteria
including human resources (training, development, welfare, Emiratisation),
client relations, business development, procurement, environment, health and
safety, innovation and community; with Dubai Chamber also measuring the
resulting impact in four key areas, namely workplace, marketplace, community
and environmental.
Majid Saif Al Ghurair, Chairman of Dubai
Chamber, said: “The Dubai Chamber CSR Label honourees are not just gaining
recognition, but enhancing their reputation in the market and setting an
example for the rest of the business community.”
Adding to
this, TIME Hotels is strengthening the positive impact it is making on local
and regional communities with an impressive calendar of Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) initiatives planned for the final quarter of 2019.
TIME will be
focusing further on community engagements and social activities in conjunction
with the year of tolerance. This month there will be a walk to raise awareness
for breast cancer, while in November the fourth annual TIME Hotels Waiter Race
will take place and in December a Gift Tolerance event will see employees
exchange gifts with their fellow colleagues.
“Through our
collective initiative, Tomorrow’s World, TIME Hotels has been involved in a
range of activities designed to give back to and support the communities we
operate in. Everything we do is backed by our commitment to have a positive
impact… we don’t want to just ensure a better world, but a better tomorrow
because the communities we live and work in really matter,” Ignatius said.
Additional
highlights of the company’s multi-faceted CSR programme this year have included
a job swap initiative, an International Women’s Day celebration to promote
women empowerment, We Walk for Autism, the distribution of Iftar meal boxes to labour
camps in Muhaisnah and the annual team member party which is designed to
recognise and appreciate all employees for their hard work and dedication to
the continued growth of the company.
