“As a leading industrial company in Bahrain, I believe it is our responsibility to set an example and encourage people to work towards preserving our Kingdom’s environment. Activities such as these foster the spirit of compassion and drive corporate social responsibility amongst our employees.

I also thank our volunteers and our contractors for their active participation in the Askar beach clean-up.”

The Askar beach clean-up was successful with the volunteers clearing waste and litter such as plastics, papers, cloths, debri etc. from the beach.
