The Chief Administrative Officer - CAO of Al Hamra Real Estate Company, Mrs. Abrar Abdulaziz Al Habeeb, stated: “As one of the first companies in Kuwait to have officially endorsed the Women’s Empowerment Principles in 2018, a core part of our National Development plan and the New Kuwait vision 2035, we have since, formally integrated a gender-balanced approach in our business. Internally, Al Hamra has held high-level leadership training programs and regular workshops to ensure these principles are endorsed at every level of the organization. Our commitment to championing this cause remains undeterred and have contributed to an environment that enables and empowers women of all walks of life, both within our organization and in society.”

Today, I am honored to say that the Al Hamra business community comprises of more than 30 % women executives and leaders who have contributed to changing the corporate landscape in the private sector.”
