Zurich CARE in the Middle East

The Zurich CARE initiative is about inspiring and uniting our people as caring, dedicated change-makers. We focus on three simple steps:

Empowering everyone to lead meaningful change

In line with the UAE’s ‘Year of Community’ 2025 and by following the above steps, we’re building a stronger, more compassionate community, one where everyone feels connected and supported to make a meaningful impact.

This local commitment is mirrored on a global scale by Zurich Group’s Z Zurich Foundation, which doubled its reach to positively impact 10.5 million lives in 2024.

Through strong global partnerships, the Foundation delivers impactful, sustainable solutions, creating lasting value and advancing social equity in communities worldwide.

What we do and what inspires us

At Zurich CARE, we believe that even the smallest steps can spark meaningful change. By coming together with genuine care and a shared purpose, we want to build a better tomorrow where social equity thrives.

Together, we’re turning care into action and uplifting our communities.

Zurich CARE is fuelled by the belief that caring is contagious. When we lead with kindness and purpose, we can inspire others to make a real difference one act at a time.

Making a difference

Our commitment extends far beyond the walls of our workplace; we’re dedicated to truly enriching the communities around us. 

One way we bring this to life is through our partnership with Al Noor Training Centre for People of Determination. Whether we’re supporting their bakery, joining in arts and crafts activities, or sponsoring their swimming gala, we’re devoted to making a real and meaningful difference by promoting social equity in our community. 

We also take our passion for connection on the road with our ongoing ‘Blue Sofa’ campaign, travelling across the UAE. By inviting people to share their hopes and dreams, the Blue Sofa sparks meaningful conversations that inspire action and empower individuals to shape brighter futures.

Empowering young minds

Mentoring the next generation is at the heart of our partnership with Injaz. We’re committed to promoting financial literacy among young people and guiding them as they develop their skills.

Through this collaboration, high school and university teams have the opportunity to present their innovative projects at our events, gaining valuable insights and support along the way.

By sharing our knowledge and experience, we aim to empower these future leaders.

Zurich Cares - Ramadan Meal packing and distribution

Together, we make an impact

All year round, we are involved in community initiatives that have a meaningful impact.

Earlier this year, for instance, our team joined forces to pack and distribute 500 meals during Ramadan, a heartfelt example of how we put our values into action.

We’re more than just colleagues; we’re a caring team, always ready to support the communities around us.
