Corporate Social Responsibility Report

Al Batinah Power Company SAOG (the “Company”) takes its role as a responsible corporate citizen seriously. Guided by its CSR policy focusing on local initiatives in the areas of education, sports, health, safety and environment, the Company realized 4 projects at local schools near the plant.

The first and second projects were completed in first quarter of the year at Al Zuhoor Basic School and Al Muthabra Basic School, Sohar. The Company has procured three 88” interactive boards for each school. These interactive boards are very versatile and enable more students, in both the schools, to follow intricate mathematics, graphical presentations as also scientific study/teaching material. Information is displayed in a way that appeals to the eyes of the young students.

The third project was to provide an artificial grass for football playground at Imam Al Rabee bin Habeeb School, Sohar that was completed in last quarter of the year. This project serves more than 760 students who are studying in Grade 10-12. They would perform the sport activities in a safer manner compared to previous playground and increase the level of engagement of the students. The school plans to rent the playground after the school hours, which will be a source of income for the school.

The fourth project was also completed in the last quarter of the year at Al Fatih Basic School, Sohar. More than 1,000 square meters of artificial grass was laid down inside the school. Around 750 students now perform their educational activities in open area instead of closed rooms. This should encourage and motivate them to participate in such activities and consequently grasp the idea behind those activities.
