A tribute to pioneer and visionary Majid Al Futtaim, who left his mark on the UAE

It was heartening to see how the empowering entrepreneur supported social welfare through a series of community initiatives. 

His teams worked towards increasing awareness towards underprivileged children amongst customers, asking them if they’re willing to donate for a noble cause. His objective was to provide great moments for children in need during festive seasons, which transcended in the work that he and his company weaved.

Another important initiative by the businessman was his contributions towards supporting the workforce in the UAE and initiatives focused on improving their health and safety standards. The internal initiative ranged from distributing care packages with everyday essentials from Carrefour to health checks for blood pressure and general medical consultation for all members of staff.

Natural Disaster Response was yet another instrumental campaign that was conducted during the wake of the devastating earthquakes in Nepal. To cater to the unfortunate series of events that occurred, within days of the earthquake, Carrefour launched a donation drive in partnership with Emirates Red Crescent to support the victims in Nepal by dedicating shelf stands with a range of specially selected products, including long-lasting and high energy foods, hygiene products and shelter blankets sold at heavily discounted price pricing for customers to participate in the disaster response assistance.
