Contact, the leading financial services company in Egypt, announced its latest sponsorship of the Women’s Championship. As a testimony to the company’s women empowerment agenda, Contact Holding’s participation as a platinum sponsor emerged during the championship on September 21st.
The event hosted more than 300 participants focusing on women empowerment as well as gender diversity in the corporate sector all over the country. In 2020, 360 Experiential Solutions, under the auspices of the National Council of Women in Egypt, launched three phases: the launch event, knowledge sharing, and best practice sessions. The main purpose was to empower women and enforce gender diversity. The final stage was to equip and train women in need in rural areas.
Women’s leadership in Contact is 25% of the total executive Council. Their positions vary from the chairman and managing director to executives and members assigned to Executive Directors and Directors of departments in various companies and sectors of the group.
Said Zaatar, CEO of Contact Financial Holding, said: “We believe that empowering women is not a luxury but a necessity; as today, in 2022, women have a major role in contributing to and influencing our society on both economic and social levels. Therefore, we are proud to partner with the National Council for Women to the Women Championship initiative, aligning with the government’s sustainable development strategy 2030 to support and empower women.”
This sponsorship cements Contact Financial Holding’s commitment to empowering women and providing them with opportunities to succeed in their professional and personal lives, raising awareness about health and wellness in Egypt.
