Dubai Customs has won the Golden Globe Tigers Award 2015, which aims at recognising corporate social responsibility, and social innovation, education and academic achievements across leadership level in organisations that believe in excellence and perfection.

The awarding ceremony was held recently in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Ahmed Mahboob Musabih, director of Dubai Customs, said: “Today, Dubai Customs reaps the fruit of living by the vision of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to make Dubai ‘A Smart & Sustainable City’. We are committed to our social responsibility to enact H.H’s vision.

“Taking part in local, regional and international competitions boosts the corporate reputation of Dubai Customs as a government agency committed to sponsoring and executing projects that serve all community segments. Bagging the Golden Globe Tigers Award is a strong drive for us to raise the bar.”

Khalil Saqer bin Gharib, corporate communication director, said that this is the first time DC has participated in the Golden Globe Tigers.

“The measures taken as well as the commitment of the senior management to launching humanitarian initiatives are key factors for winning the award, which is a notable addition to a long record of over 25 CSR awards bagged by DC,” he said.

“We aspire to deliver a noble message that community work is wide open to government and private agencies. It is a humanitarian objective that is as important as security and economic objectives,” he added. - TradeArabia News Service
