Zurich Cares – Middle East
At Zurich, our corporate responsibility strategy aims to create value for both our company and for society as a whole. We use our core skills, risk and investment expertise, to have a positive impact on both.
Our primary focus is to support the young “people of determination.” This helps to recognise Zurich’s role beyond day-to-day business. With activities planned throughout the year, we ensure that there is maximum engagement from all our employees through volunteering and fund-raising.
Investing in our communities
We support Manzil Centre and Al Noor School Training Centre who both cater to persons with disabilities and special needs. We do this through a variety of activities, which include our staff volunteering their time and undertaking activities to raise funds.
Women's Innovation Network
(WIN) – Middle East
Zurich's Women's Innovation Network (WIN) is an Employee Resource Group that was established in 2015. It aims to understand, accept and encourage diversity and inclusion in the workplace regardless of gender, and create insight into business success.
In the times we live in today, the life and role of women has seen a signifcant shift. Women are progressively taking on more responsibilities as join or primary providers for home, leaders of industry and providing a unique and ever varying voice that is greatly impacting positively on the world we live in. For me, leading WIN puts me in a prime position to be one of the catalysts for change in today’s world and how it affects women. A lot has been accomplished so far, but there are still signifcant gains to be made, and WIN provides one of the best platforms to make an impact within Zurich.
