Since our company's inception in 1979, DUBAL has endeavoured to
be a role model for care and responsibility within the community by
actively supporting initiatives and projects that promote the
socio-economic growth of Dubai, thus benefiting the cosmopolitan
population of the Emirate. Preference is given to community-based
activities that endorse the broader goals of the Dubai government
and to causes that will benefit most through our company's
involvement.
In particular, we give generously of our company's time, financial
resources and expertise to a broad range of events and activities,
especially in the education and welfare arenas. This is
supplemented by corporate sponsorship of sporting,
trade and other events. In 2009 alone, our corporate social
responsibility-related investments totalled approximately AED 35.5
million.

Charitable donations
DUBAL is wholly committed to supporting worthy and charitable
activities in the community. Ad hoc donations are therefore made to
schools and charitable organizations, to assist in their
fund-raising efforts or to help fund specific requirements.
Mechanisms are also available for employees to contribute
financially (or in kind) to relief efforts benefiting communities
affected by natural disasters.
