Saudi Aramco In The International Community
AOC UK’s PR team strives to get employees involved in outreach activities that cater to the company’s three main areas of CSR concern: education, health and the environment. We feel this to be the perfect opportunity to give something back to the community in which we work while providing a chance for staff to get to know one another and forge deeper friendships.
As our Managing Director, Mr. Ahmed M. Al-Zayyat once said: “Corporate social responsibility is a crucial element of our company’s DNA. We want to become part of the fabric of this city and support the local community in any way we can.”
