1. Message to Youth
“It is the youth in societies globally that are agents of change, bringing with them the courage, energy and innovation to make differences” Dr. Saad Al Barrak Youth, and all it represents, plays an essential role in the success of any business – it is the force that compels corporations to constantly reassess and refresh product offerings and services, revitalize the brand and to stay relevant in today’s fast moving times. At Zain, youth is particularly important as young people are the heart and future of our business. Young people, by their very nature, embody our corporate identity. Their fearlessness and thirst for life match our company ethos to ‘be first, be daring, be different’ and to seize every opportunity that comes our way. Their energy and high spirits capture our core values of ‘radiance, heart and belonging’ and their vitality is the perfect fit for our company philosophy – to create ‘a wonderful world’ for all our customers.
