A Platform For Responsible Innovation

launch of the Sustainable Impact Challenge embodies our mission to instil CSR values across the private sector while supporting impactful
projects aligned with the national agenda. This initiative is not just a competition—it is a movement towards shaping a resilient and
sustainable economy.”
