Aramex believes that it can only serve better by being more involved with the world at large through the different communities it serves. The company also believes that its efforts should be organized and directed towards specific causes, that are close to its heart, and that reflect its identity, values and principles.
The following are main activities that Aramex focuses its CSR initiatives on:
Education and youth empowerment: Aramex thrived through innovation and creativity. Its success has been the result of talented young people who believed in Aramex's vision and used their education and different backgrounds to find creative and innovative solutions to its business. For that, Aramex believes that the best way to give back to our societies is by supporting education and educational initiatives, from primary school levels to bachelor degrees. The company's support will be in the form of sponsorships of university students (in return for their commitment to work with Aramex), internships for excelling students, sponsorship of extra curricular scholarly activities for the underprivileged, sponsorship of workshops and programs related to education, especially for the less privileged sectors of societies.
Entrepreneurship: Aramex started with an entrepreneurial approach from its founders, and became the reflection of what successful and thriving entrepreneurship looks like. Aramex believes in the importance of enabling and assisting entrepreneurs to create their own opportunities. For that, Aramex will be supporting and sponsoring programs, initiatives, workshops and training sessions that will allow entrepreneurs to succeed.
Community Development: Aramex is a global company that makes it its goal to belong to every community it operates in. It also believes that any project targeting a community should be a sustainable project that will empower the community as a whole and enable them to seek and find better opportunities but also to contribute to them. The most successful model it has is its involvement in Ruwwad in Jordan. Aramex has already started and customized (according to each community's needs) projects similar to Ruwwad in other locations.
Sports: Aramex views sports as a healthy reflection of what Aramex stands for: positive competition, teamwork, hard work, determination and drive. For that, Aramex sponsors and supports sports activities, especially clubs and projects that will target the youth, underprivileged areas and extra curricular sports activities in public schools.
Emergency Relief: Aramex is a global logistics and express transportation service provider and therefore Aramex is always ready to provide solutions and facilitate transportation of aid and donations to disaster and war stricken areas.
Note: Aramex will still support several charities and philanthropic projects but the main focus and priority will be to the categories above.
