Commenting on the company’s performance so far this year, Dr. Majid Al Kassabi, Chairman of RSH, hailed the great results achieved by the company in the second quarter of 2010, stating that RSH’s operating income has increased to SR 23.26 million during the 2^nd quarter of 2010, compared to SR 18.93 million recorded in the same period in 2009. He said that the encouraging performance of RSH and its increasing reputation worldwide have helped the company to secure major contracts.

“We are pleased with the company’s improvement in operating profits during the 2^nd quarter of this year. This reflects the scope of development the company has experienced and the improvement of operating income achieved during the past three months,” said Dr. Al Kassabi.

The company has suffered during this period from a preliminary court ruling in Algeria to pay customs duties and penalties. As a result, RSH has booked a provision of SR 10.2 million which was charged to the interim consolidated income statement for the past three months ending on 30 June, 2010, generating lower net profits. This has resulted in a 22.01% decrease instead of a 37.71% increase in net profits for the second quarter, compared to the same period in 2009.

Dr. Al Kassabi stressed the importance of RSH’s contribution to the comprehensive economic development in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in terms of supporting major Saudi organizations with its outstanding housing solutions. He added “Our quality products provided to these companies are coupled with the government’s spending on developing the energy sector, the infrastructure and the national development, as we are planning to further expand in our core markets in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. This enhances the expectations of RSH in the continuation of stability in 2010 and more development in 2011.”

Al Kassabi underscored the company’s commitment to develop its businesses on a global level. “Some thought that the downturn of the economic environment globally and halt of some major projects had largely affected RSH businesses, but on the contrary, the year 2009 was the second most successful year for RSH which reflects the outstanding management skills of our staff and the quality of our products which were well-positioned in the market,” he said.

He added that the 2^nd quarter results of the company have been solid as it succeeded in securing new big orders with a total value of SR 590 million, representing the company’s highest total volume of orders in the company’s history.

As reported earlier, RSH recorded another achievement when it was awarded its biggest single contact to date. The SR 480 million ($127.9 million) contract secured from Chiyoda-JGC Joint Venture (CJJV) to engineer, manufacture and construct a major housing facility for Papua New Guinea’s Liquefied Natural Gas project (PNG LNG) at Port Moresby on the bay of Papua. The facility is planned to be completed by 2011 and is operated by Esso Highlands Limited, a subsidiary of Exxon Mobile Corporation, on behalf of the co-ventures which include Oil Search, Santos, Nippon Oil, Mineral Resource Development Company (MRDC) and Eda Oil.

The franchise agreement with Ghia Holdings, a well-respected name in the hospitality business infuses added synergy to our quest to be a leading service provider. Such agreements are part of our overall approach to maintain an ‘organic growth’ within the GCC and MENA region in the first 3 to 5 years of operations.

This franchise agreement is an excellent testimony of the Abdel Wahab brand’s growing popularity in the region, and the high demand for quality Lebanese cuisines. We will persist in exceeding the expectations of food enthusiasts in the Kingdom of Bahrain, and we hope that this new cuisine will add another milestone to our success record.”

Abu Dhabi, May 29, 2010: The Higher Corporation for Specialized Economic Zones (ZonesCorp) will be participating as a lead sponsor in the upcoming Abu Dhabi and China Economic Forum due to be held at Sheraton Shanghai Hotel & Residences, in Pudong, China, on May 31, 2010. Along with other key economic drivers of Abu Dhabi, ZonesCorp aims to invite Chinese investments to Abu Dhabi through demonstrating its services, highlight its infrastructure and the prosperous business climate it avails for investors in its industrial cities.

Building on the increasing mutual interest between the UAE and China to develop their relations on the political, economic and cultural fronts, the Abu Dhabi and China Economic Forum comes as a further solid step in the bilateral pace of work and cooperation between the two countries. The forum, scheduled to be organized subsequent to the successful participation of the UAE in Shanghai Expo 2010, will be a prominent event that discusses the best business and investment opportunities available in the UAE and China.

This business interest was boomed through the UAE’s participation in major exhibitions and forums which were held recently in China. The recent visits of UAE high-ranking official dignitaries to China reflect the government’s strong desire to activate partnerships with the Chinese who also showed an increasing interest to explore the investments opportunities available in Abu Dhabi.

The event will also help create networking opportunities for Chinese investors with Abu Dhabi’s key leaders of industry, financial services experts and top leading decision makers,” said Al Qemzi.

He pointed out that China is a major trading partner of the UAE as the bilateral trade volume between the two countries soared to $ 25 billion (AED 92 billion) in 2009. In line with its strategy, ZonesCorp will take the best advantage of this event to attract Chinese companies to set up business at the corporation’s industrial cities (ICADs).

Abu Dhabi, May 9, 2010: Under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler’s Representative in the Western Region of Abu Dhabi, Chairman of the UAE Red Crescent Authority, the Higher Corporation for Specialized Economic Zones (ZonesCorp) participated in the Arab Giving Forum 2010, and Abu Dhabi Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Conference, which were both held at Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi on May 9, 2010. The joint event, organized under the slogan “Social Coherence, a National Responsibility”, aimed at promoting the culture of giving and enhancing awareness on CSR practices, strategies and benefits among individuals and companies.

Organized by Zayed Giving Initiative, both the Forum and the Conference brought together top Arab dignitaries and monarchs including Her Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan, HH Prince Al Walid bin Talal of Saudi Arabia, and HE Ziad Baroud, Minister of Interior in Lebanon, in addition to a large number of Arab intellectuals, business leaders and decision makers. The event discussed various topics and study cases on social responsibility implementation and its influence on business. It also focused on the sustainable social development programs and humanitarian projects launched in the Arab world on the cultural, educational and environmental fronts.

HE Mohammad Hassan Al Qamzi, CEO, ZonesCorp, stressed the importance of participating as a diamond sponsor in both the Forum and the Conference which helped raise significant concerns for the social and business communities. The event also underlined the key role which CSR plays in business success as well as in building partnerships between the public and private sectors to ensure the wellbeing of the society.

“The forum provided an interesting platform to discuss the importance, strategies and management of CSR within the public and private organizations, the role of CSR in the sustainable social development initiatives in both sector, experiences of the participating businesses from the Arab world in implementing CSR procedures, as well as the initiatives launched in sustaining and integrating CSR within areas of business strategy, especially among private sector establishments,” said Al Qamzi.

Al Qamzi pointed out that CSR became one of the most important business issues that have been profoundly recognized in the past years throughout the UAE due to its role in the success of the corporates’ businesses. He said that many large companies appear to have found common ground upon which they have built elaborated CSR policies, practices and initiatives in their strategic planning that have effectively helped in enhancing their performance and sustainability.

“As CSR is one of the performance pillars within the public sector establishments, and since the private sector companies play a pivotal role in the country’s development process, there is a principal need to establish practical partnerships between the companies from both sectors which would certainly benefit the two parties as well as the society they are operating in,” Al Qamzi noted.

CSR experiences of the major international companies proved to be beneficial for both the society and the business, said Al Qamzi adding that CSR could be recognized as a return investment that was not known before. Recent studies showed that the companies balancing between their interests and those of the society have four times doubled their rates of growth and skilled workforce generation.

“Companies that successfully integrated CSR within their businesses stood to gain financial and social benefits through identifying new business opportunities, strengthening their brands and corporate reputation, attracting the retention of top employees and partners, sustaining customers’ loyalty and increasing quality and productivity,” he said.

ZonesCorp was given the opportunity to demonstrate the aspects of its corporate responsibility programs towards society mainly through developing a new concept of world-class, integrated and comfortable accommodations for Abu Dhabi workforce. These cities have largely contributed to delivering the human image of Abu Dhabi in protecting the rights of laborers and abiding to the directives of World Labor Organization.

Al Qamzi noted that the event has provided valuable insights on the effective implementation of CSR concepts within Arab business communities in accordance with the highest international standards.

The Abu Dhabi CSR Conference sessions discussed various topics including CSR and Sustainable Development, CSR and the Business Community, Partnerships between the Non-profit Public and Private Establishments, and the Role of Media on CSR Initiatives.

Imdaad, the leading integrated facilities management solutions providers in the UAE, marked the huge success of its ambitious environment protection initiative for children, Beati, at a colourful ceremony on Tuesday (December 22) held at Ibn Battuta Mall, the popular shopping and leisure destination.

The ceremony saw winners of the Beati drawing competition receiving presents, mementoes and certificates. A large crowd of children, parents and officials from schools, Dubai municipality, the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) and Imdaad attended the function and lauded the participants.

The drawing contest on the theme of environment protection was a major part of Beati, which is supported by Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), Dubai Municipality and Union Paper Mills.

Jamal Lootah, Chief Executive Officer of Imdaad, said: “It was a great occasion to celebrate the success of Beati in the company of children who were the real carriers of the campaign. Over the past several months, this awareness initiative successfully integrated hundreds of children in Dubai schools on the serious issue of environment protection. The programme is close to Imdaad’s heart as we consider it our responsibility to add green value in everything we do.”

Imdaad launched Beati in Dubai schools in April 2009 with the aim of spreading environment awareness at grass root level. Under the slogan “My environment, B’cos I want my world,” the campaign laid stress on “Reduce, Reuse and Recycle,” three activities that require concerted efforts to bring about dramatic and positive changes to the environment.

The FM service leader created “Khaddour,” the fun-loving “green leaf” character to encourage children’s involvement, particularly in recycling. The mascot character is themed on “Green,” inspiring children through a coloruing competition where a hidden symbol highlights the object to be recycled.

Practical educational activities such as working sessions and lectures by experts, quiz competitions and film shows on subjects related to environment were also part of Beati.

Beati is the campaign part of Imdaad’s enhanced focus on environment in its FM operations. The company expanded its service footprint across the UAE with added emphasis on environment-friendly methods in order to support the country’s sustainability drive.

Imdaad’s client base includes major corporate and service establishments such as Nakheel, Jafza, DP World – UAE Region, Dubai Properties, Dubai Customs, Limitless, Tanmiyat and Tamweel. Among major projects on its portfolio are Palm Jumeirah, World Trade Centre, The Gardens, Atlantis, Jumeirah Golf Estate, International City, Jebel Ali Port and Free Zone and Wasl, the asset management group of Dubai real Estate Corporation (DREC), along with shopping malls like Ibn Batuta Mall, Dragon Mall, and many more.
