Executive Officers

Constantly striving to make a difference, our leadership team has established a core team of professionals to act as a closer link between the Parent Board and the underlying businesses.

Intercare’s  corporate strategy is to accelerate into a larger, faster growing, more international  and more regional JV agreements with its multinational partners.

It will align our portfolio around one core business-infrastructure and bringing world class partners….…   into more Joint Ventures with us to better supply all MENA markets.

Our businesses are further segmented into three complementary roles :

Hospitality; Industrial; FM;  This enables us to make the most efficient choices for allocating resources behind our portfolio offering.

Growth drivers in the region, and focus on emerging markets.

Beyond these choices, our Growth Plan aligns the organization around five More Ways to Win:

1. Conclude Agreements and deliver to regional International Accounts.
2. Build a Supply Chain Powerhouse that develops more valuable interchange with our customers.
3. Free up trapped capacity for growth : identifying areas where there is trapped excess capacity and fueling this into “incremental growth”.
4. Develop the team for growth by attracting, retaining and developing the multicultural talent base needed to achieve regional growth goals.
5. Go beyond our borders to accelerate our expansion into the highest potential growth markets. Growth in the African Continent is seen as one of most promising in our 5-Year Plan.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Corporate Social Responsibility is the continuing commitment by business to behave ethically and contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as of the local community and society at large.

Traditionally, CSR has been defined much more in terms of a philanthropic model. Companies make profits, unhindered except by fulfilling their duty to pay taxes. Then they donate a certain share of the profits to charitable causes. However, Intercare believes CSR should be much more focused on operating the core business in a socially responsible way, complemented by investment in communities for solid business case reasons. This model is more sustainable because:

• Social responsibility becomes an integral part of the wealth creation process – which if managed properly should enhance the competitiveness of business and maximize the value of wealth creation to society.
• When times get hard, there is the incentive to practice CSR more and better – if it is a philanthropic exercise which is peripheral to the main business, it will always be the first thing to go when push comes to shove.

Sustainability
Sustainability is most often defined as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. It has three main pillars: economic, environmental, and social. The environmental pillar is the most talked-about aspect of sustainability. Sustainability reporting can help organizations to measure, understand and communicate their economic, environmental, social and governance performance, and then set goals, and manage change more effectively.

Our Aim
Recognizing how important CSR and Sustainability is to the Society, Intercare now focuses on and practices a few broad categories of CSR / Sustainability:

1. Environmental efforts: One primary focus of corporate social responsibility is the environment. Businesses regardless of size have a large carbon footprint. Any steps they can take to reduce those footprints are considered both good for the company and society.

2. Philanthropy: Businesses can also practice social responsibility by donating money, products or services to social causes. Larger companies tend to have a lot of resources that can benefit charities and local community programs.

3. Ethical labor practices: By treating employees fairly and ethically, companies can also demonstrate their corporate social responsibility. This is especially true of businesses that operate in international locations with labor laws that differ from one country to another.

4. Volunteering: Attending volunteer events says a lot about a company’s sincerity. By doing good deeds without expecting anything in return, companies can express their concern for specific issues and support for certain organizations.
