Alba’s donation was in response to the fund raising campaign initiated by the Kingdom of Bahrain’s Information Affairs Authority. The decision to donate is another tangible demonstration of the company’s corporate social responsibility as well as its willingness to extend a helping hand to those in need.
“The entire world has been moved by the situation in Somalia as the country grapples with one of the worst recorded droughts in over 60 years. Bahrain has taken practical steps in answering this distress call, and Alba as a Bahraini company, is proud to be associated with the Information Affairs Authority’s fund-raising campaign to help in speeding up relief efforts,”
Mahmood Hashim Al Kooheji, Chairman Alba board said.
“As one of the leading smelters in the world, Alba recognises its responsibility to support the underprivileged not only in Bahrain but globally as well. We take this commitment very seriously, and as a result, have supported many humanitarian causes both financially and through voluntary services of Alba’s employees,” he added.
