She indicated that the honour came out of the foundation's keenness to thank the partners and praise their effective role, contributions and support in the continuity of work and providing the best services, and also to promote the interest of the continuity and sustainability of this type of partnerships in the future.

For his part, Dr Bastaki said: "Active participation in such noble initiatives represents the core of Union Coop's belief system and this honour demonstrates the performance of Union Coop as a National economic entity that leads to effective community contribution with high goals and tangible performance indicators to meet the aspirations of our wise leadership."

"Union Coop is working hard to become a role model for other private organisations in the field of community contributions, who should come together to work for the welfare of the society," commented Dr Al Bastaki.

It is worth mentioning that this honouring comes as a result of the two MoUs for Union Coop signed with Dubai Foundation for Women and Children earlier in the year 2020.

The ceremony was conducted in a safe environment with a limited number of people maintaining adequate social distancing measures.
