CSR is an integral part of the
CCC corporate vision
CCC’s corporate social responsibility
initiative undertakes the role of “corpo-
rate citizenship” to ensure that business
values and behavior are aligned. They
should be balanced between improving
and developing the company’s business
as well as improving the quality of life of
its workforce, their families, local com-
munities, and societies at large.
CCC’s CSR initiative
CCC’s corporate social responsibility
philosophy originated from the founders’
strong belief that the company has an
obligation toward its shareholders, em-
ployees, clients, partners, subcontractors,
and society. CCC does not exist merely
to make a profit, but rather to improve
the livelihoods of the more than 120,000
families of its employees, as well as to
serve the societies and the countries in
which CCC has an operational presence.
CCC’s CSR policy is guided by the com-
pany’s strong and ethical family values
and traditions. They are an integral part
of its Corporate Vision, which ensures
that its business values and behavior
are aligned with its Mission Statement;
Company Core Values, Guiding Princi-
ples, and Code of Practice; Health, Safety,
and Environment Procedures; and Hu-
man Resources Procedures.
CCC’s CSR contributions to the
communities
Over the years, CCC has participated and
contributed generously to the countries
and communities in which CCC has
operated and passed through. CCC has
engraved its humanitarian and philan-
thropic footprints in support of social
development, health, and education
through contributions that have come in
the form of monetary donations and in-
kind participation. A few examples are:

Years of Contributing

Sixty years of continuous giving that is rooted in the beliefs and values of the founders is
what distinguishes CCC and makes it unique among other companies. Even before the term
“
corporate social responsibility” became quite popular in recent years, the CCC founders
put giving and care for the communities, employees, and their families as some of their
core values, which they have been practicing throughout the history of the company. Their
continuous giving to their communities, employees, and their families has left its mark on
the thousands of people who have felt their support throughout the years. Their compassion
and philanthropic deeds may have grown out of the hardships they experienced in their
early years; however, becoming one of the most affluent companies in the world had just
multiplied these humanitarian acts.
