At Al Baraka, we believe, as responsible members of society our corporate social responsibility is to give back to the community, take part in philanthropic causes, and provide positive social value. We are increasingly turning to CSR to make a difference and build a positive brand around our company.
Corporate social responsibility is traditionally broken into four categories: environmental, philanthropic, ethical, and economic responsibility.
On the Environment front we are mindful that our operations at site are not in conflict with the Client’s development plans and cause no adverse impact on the ecology. The company takes extreme precaution about oil spills, damage to Falaj, managing hazardous waste, accidents and fires and incidents of air and water pollution.
On philanthropy, the company supported various events protecting the heritage and promoting the Omani culture in the Dhofar Governate. It has supported local community development by maintaining the General-Purpose Hall of the Wali of Shaleem, built a hospital for COVID-19 patients and has reached out to the community by providing PPE equipment to the citizens of Wilayat of Shaleem during the COVID pandemic. Al Baraka contributed meaningfully to the cyclone (Shaheen) affected victims in the Al Batinah coastal region during September 2021.
Al Baraka has contributed to academic prosperity by aiding Sultan Qaboos University College of Agricultural and Marine Sciences, sponsoring the event of building sustainable agriculture for food security. The company has supported the Ministry of Education by sponsoring awards for distinguished students in the area.
As far as economic responsibility is concerned, the company continues to attract talent and increase Omanisation in all departments.
