Dubai Duty Free (DDF) has been awarded top honours at the recent CMO 5th Asia Best Corporate Social Responsibility Awards and 1st Asia Green Future Leaders Awards in Singapore.

 

Held on 12 August at Singapore’s Pan Pacific Hotel, the ASIA Best CSR Practices Awards are recognised as Asia’s highest for those corporate organisations that have genuinely had a significant and positive impact on the lives of people around them.

 

Meanwhile, the ASIA Green Future Leaders Awards recognise leaders who have made a sustainable contribution in every sphere, like renewable energy, waste management and recycling.

 

 

The awards comprised 31 organisational and eight individual categories, with “The Best Corporate Social Responsibility Practices” title awarded to DDF for demonstrating ‘outstanding commitment to Health and Safety, Environment in the community and for sustaining stronger relationships with its employees, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders’.

 

At the same time, “The Best Green Organisation of the Year” was also awarded to DDF for demonstrating its environmental commitment through its people, processes and facilities. All of these awards were judged by ten top executives from various leading companies and organisations in Asia, each said to have ‘vast experience’ in the field of corporate responsibility.
