Blood donation drive at Radisson SAS Hotel Muscat

The employees of the Radisson SAS Hotel came together to donate blood at the hotel on Sunday 29th July 2007 with a total of 36 donors.

Blood donation by individuals and conducted through organizations is vital to aid accident victims or for surgery requirements. All donors are tested in order to determine if they are healthy enough to donate. All donations are thoroughly screened at the blood bank. The department conducts visits on a daily basis to various establishments and companies.

The hotel's involvement in this local activity is part of a responsible business campaign headed by George Thomas who is responsible business co-ordinator for the hotel.

"Responsible business covers various environmental, social, economic issues and our company's responsibility towards them. Here in Muscat we are endeavoring to fulfil our duty towards the community as part of a conscientious company." George Thomas.

"We also have activities planned to target conservation of energy and to support charities such as the Terry Fox Foundation which we organize a fund raising fun run annually for among other initiatives which are in line with our company's overall responsible business plan".
