Supporting initiatives that champion women’s wellbeing, raise awareness of important health issues and bring people together for a shared purpose is an important part of our corporate social responsibility vision. Through our partnership with Women Who Thrive, Beyond the Ribbon gives us an opportunity to turn awareness into action and contribute to the important work of the Al Jalila Foundation. We hope this initiative inspires greater community participation, encourages meaningful conversations and demonstrates the impact we can make when we come together for a cause that matters.”
