Omran nurtures two of Oman's most prominent Al Mara Excellence Awards Winners

Eng. Wael bin Ahmed Al Lawati, CEO of Omran, said, "Omran has created a platform to empower women both inside and outside the workplace, to give them the opportunity to craft engaging and rewarding careers. The Al Mara Excellence Award is a testament to the strategies Omran adopts to support, promote and sustain the inspiring work of women within the community."

Badriya was recognized for her extensive efforts, spearheading many of Omran's CSR projects in the Sultanate. Her representation of the company's core values has helped create long-term benefits for local communities across Oman by forming meaningful and sustainable programs. Badriya's endeavors also include investing time and effort in nurturing and establishing relationships with residents located in and around Omran project sites.

Establishing the first and only Omani chocolate brand has positioned Salma as a pioneering force in the local market. Her creativity in maintaining the Sultanate's heritage by combining local flavors in her creations has set her apart from the competition. Through her association with Intajee, Salma has sourced raw ingredients from families living in Al Batinah and Jabal Al Akhdar. Omran has also enabled Salma to maximize her brand's reach by investing in training, equipment, packaging and marketing to enable the products to reach the shelves of hypermarkets and become available to the wider general public.

From the onset Omran has been a key supporter of women advancement. The company has been involved with organizations such as the Dhofar Business Woman Center and Muscat Women Center, to provide training sessions and courses that will further develop their business skillset. Omran has also successfully implemented the Springboard Women's Development Program in Jabal Al Akhdar, Khasab and Mussanah in partnership with the British Council, which helped identify clear, practical and realistic steps for women to enhance their leadership capacity.
