Under the umbrella of this partnership and as part of its commitment to empowering and encouraging community members, Occidental supports the Emirates Foundation's various initiatives and programs.
The long-term partnership between Occidental and the Emirates Foundation dates back to the launch of Emirates Foundation in 2005 as an initiative from His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Abu Dhabi, may God protect him, as this partnership is in line with Occidental's vision of social responsibility.
On this occasion, His Excellency Ahmed Taleb Al Shamsi, Chief Executive Officer of Emirates Foundation commented: “This partnership between Emirates Foundation and Occidental represents a token of cooperation and integration with the private sector, and its renewal for the coming three years reflects the strong bond of cooperation between the two parties, through which we have achieved a set of important goals for us and for the society.”
His Excellency added: “Through renewing this partnership, we seek to continue to provide initiatives that contribute to supporting the country's growth, prosperity, development and strengthening its position at global scale.'

We are proud of this cooperation, and we look forward to achieving our common goals in the coming period.”
Within the framework of this partnership, the Emirates Foundation and Occidental cooperate in a set of programs that contribute to a positive impact on the UAE’s society, based on three important pillars: volunteering, promoting its culture, and developing the capabilities of community members to promote positive social values among the various segments of society.
