The CSR Network consists of a series of workshops scheduled accordingly on 12-13 September, 29 November and the last week of December 2004. The first workshop held on 24th May covered Environmental Management and Recycling. Subsequent workshops will address environmental law, Eco-tourism, and CSR in the Middle East.
Commenting on the workshops, Habiba Al Marashi, Chairperson of the EEG said; "CSR and environmental issues are gaining an ever-greater audience in the Middle East. The workshops are the best opportunity for companies to share best practice or to form partnerships with organizations from other sectors." Habiba added; "We thank McDonald's UAE for the continuous support they provide for EEG, and for sponsoring our workshops."
According to Rafic Fakih, Managing Director for McDonald's UAE; "McDonald's in the Middle East was the first to issue a social responsibility report. We are proud to sponsor the EEG workshops, and proud to be an active member in the group."
"Being a responsible corporate citizen is not just about contribution to charity. It is a comprehensive corporate philosophy that covers every aspect of doing business, including: providing customers with the best quality products or services, creating employment opportunities, supporting local suppliers, and contributing wherever possible to charity causes," concluded Rafic.
