BCG Drives Agenda For Creating Social Impact At Third Annual Community Service Day

As a driving force for inspiring corporate purpose that maximizes both social and economic value, Boston Consulting Group (BCG) held its third annual Community Service Day on October 3, 2019 in conjunction with local associations, businesses and NGOs.

Over the course of the event, 400 BCG Middle East staff volunteered in a variety of initiatives to give back to the community and drive sustainable impact for local entrepreneurs, education sector, social needs, environmental sustainability, animal welfare, and healthcare. Throughout the day, BCG collaborated with organizations including Al Ghurair Foundation for Education, Al Jalila Children’s Speciality Hospital, Emirates Diving Association, and the female-focused startup accelerator Womentum by womena among others to stimulate the corporate sector’s role in empowering communities.

Mustafa Bosca, Managing Director & Partner at BCG Middle East, said: “In today’s business climate, creating social impact is just as significant as creating economic value. The Community Service Day reflects this notion by calling on corporates to realign their organizations’ core attributes by creating resolute, long-term strategies and business activities that bring about positive societal impact.”

The Community Service Day builds on BCG’s efforts to communicate the value of corporate purpose, the role of the Private Sector players to address pressing social challenges, the value of total societal impact, and the way leaders and C-Suites can impart revised corporate strategies in the new era of business.

BCG also collaborated with INJAZ UAE, Al Noor Training Centre for Persons with Disabilities, Dubai Center for Special Needs, Seafarers, Thukher Social Club, International Humanitarian and Charity Organization (IHCO), Manzil Centre for People with Disabilities, Stray Dogs Center, and various startups.
