JEDDAH – Dr. Faysal Alaquil, Director of Business Development & Head of Corporate Social Responsibility at Construction Products Holding Company (CPC), reiterated the need for a charter on corporate social responsibility, which he has advocated in last year's forum. Speaking at the Saudi Corporate Social Responsibility Forum held under the patronage of Prince Khaled Al Faysal, Governor of Makkah Region and organized by the Jeddah Chamber of Commerce and Industrial (JCCI) and Al-Iktissad Wal Aamal Group, he said “CSR is a total commitment to enhance the conditions of our community, thus we consider our participation in this forum for the third consecutive year as another opportunity to further enhance our CSR program.” In his keynote address titled “The enforcement of the Cooperation Triangle in CSR” during the first day of the forum, he noted that “without a presence of a CSR charter, strategic CSR programs will not achieve its sustainable development goals.”
The Forum discussed a wide range of CSR issues with the participation of a number of government and private companies. The 3rd forum concluded Wednesday at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Jeddah.
