talabat, the region’s leading platform for everyday deliveries, has announced its continued sponsorship of the Qatar CSR Summit 2024, hosted by Qatar University. The summit, which began at Qatar National Convention Center (QNCC) yesterday, will run until May 2.
talabat is all set to offer attendees an interactive experience at its booth during the three-day event, focused on showcasing CSR initiatives and facilitating meaningful discussions. Also participating in the summit is talabat’s Director of Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility, Dimitra Theodoropulos, who will be featured as a speaker during the conference and will also take part in a panel discussion moderated by UNESCO and UN Global Impact. Corporate Social Responsibility is a part of talabat’s identity. talabat demonstrated this by facilitating over 100,000 meals in 2023. Back in February, talabat and Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) jointly supported humanitarian efforts for Turkey and Syria earthquake survivors via in-app donations. During Ramadan, talabat collaborated with esteemed charity organisations such as Qatar Red Crescent, Qatar Charity, Education Above All and Qatar Cancer Society to facilitate donations of funds, meals, and gifts for children undergoing cancer treatment.
In response to the Morocco earthquake, talabat launched a relief campaign under their #tech4good commitment, directing proceeds to urgent emergency efforts for survivors. talabat also launched the annual Pinktober campaign with Qatar Cancer Society (QCS) raising awareness about breast cancer, allowing customers to contribute by adding a pink ribbon to their orders, with proceeds of over 50,000 Qatari Riyals supporting breast cancer research. In solidarity with Palestine throughout Ramadan, talabat contributed 1 Million hot iftar meals to the World Food Programme’s emergency response in Gaza, in addition to facilitating over QR2 million through trusted local charities.
Francisco Miguel De Sousa, talabat’s managing director in Qatar, expressed, “The summit brings together CSR experts to explore how businesses can integrate economic, social, and environmental goals into their operations. talabat’s participation in the Qatar CSR Summit emphasises its dedication to corporate social responsibility and its commitment to fostering long term partnerships across different sectors within the community. From supporting humanitarian efforts for earthquake victims to partnering with charity organisations during Ramadan and raising awareness about causes like breast cancer, we believe in using the talabat app to drive meaningful change and contribute to the well-being of the communities we serve.”
