Qatar National CSR Awards aim at celebrating all those who are dedicating their time, money and efforts to make Qatar (and the world) a better place. It goes beyond the traditional way of looking into CSR from “ticking a box” perspective, into adopting CSR within the company/entity’s philosophy.

Our wide array of judges, from various fields, will be meticulously looking into each and every entry, following international standards, to reward those who excelled in planning and implementing their CSR programs.
