July 2024
CSR Excellence Award 2024

Umniah has received the prestigious gold International CSR Excellence Award 2024 in the Utilities Sector (water, gas, electricity and telecommunications), specifically the community initiatives category. Umniah received this recognition for its Forsa initiative, which was launched in late 2021 to rehabilitate and renovate playgrounds in public schools across various governorates over five years, with a cost exceeding one million Jordanian dinars.

Umniah received this accolade at the International CSR Excellence Awards ceremony held in London on July 1, 2024. The award was accepted by Wajeeha Al-Husseini, Director of Brand & Corporate Communications and Rula Nassraween, Sr. CSR Supervisor. These awards are considered among the most significant global awards celebrating the efforts of companies and institutions from around the world that prioritize ethical, sustainable, and socially responsible practices.

With this prestigious award, Umniah joins the ranks of CSR World Leaders, an elite group of institutions committed to social responsibility and striving to make a positive change in society and the world.

This international recognition highlights the significant positive impact of Forsa on the education sector in public schools. The initiative has improved the educational environment and the quality of services for both students and teachers. By the end of 2023, Umniah successfully revitalized 17 school playgrounds across 10 governorates, directly benefiting approximately 12,000 students and indirectly benefiting around 45,000 citizens.

Faisal Qamhiyah, CEO of Umniah said, “Winning the International CSR Excellence Award is a great honor and reflects our firm commitment to making a positive impact on our community. We are proud of the Forsa initiative and its role in improving the educational environment in public schools. This award motivates us to continue promoting social responsibility and adopting sustainable practices.” He also noted Umniah’s continuous efforts to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 and contribute to building a better future for Jordan.

Wajeeha Al-Husseini, Director of Brand & Corporate Communications, expressed pride in this unique initiative, which targets a vital segment of the national fabric. She stated that investing in this segment is a priority in Umniah’s social responsibility strategy, emphasizing its significant return on the company’s most important human resource—youth.

The award celebrates companies with exceptional commitment to social responsibility and encourages the adoption of ethical and sustainable practices. It also motivates other organizations to follow suit and raises awareness about the impact of corporate social responsibility on communities and the environment.

The International CSR Excellence Awards cover a wide range of categories, encompassing various aspects of corporate social responsibility, such as environmental responsibility, community engagement, ethical business practices, employee well-being, education and training, and innovation in social responsibility.

Umniah adopts an ambitious social responsibility strategy aimed at contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals 2030. The company launches and implements high-impact initiatives in sectors such as education, health, sports, arts and culture, community development, and the empowerment of underprivileged individuals, ensuring long-term and sustainable positive effects.
