DR. MOHAMMED SHA'ABAN,
Head of the Strategy and Human Resources
Sector, Retaj Group
Stemming from its belief in the importance of CSR in leading Qatari companies, Salam Magazine met with Dr. Mohammed Sha›aban,
Head of the Strategy and Human Resources Sector, Retaj Group to talk about community work carried out by the Group during the
year.
Companies have an active role in the community development process and in achieving greater
prosperity and well-being for members of the communities in which they operate.
Let us agree first to that assessing private sector companies does not depend any longer solely on their profitability, but also on their
ability to contribute to the community development process and to achieve greater prosperity and well-being for the members of the
communities in which they operate. Hence, Retaj Group has realized that it is not isolated from the community and realized that it must
carry out an important and central role, along with other actors, in the development of the community in which the Group operates.
The Retaj Group operates according to a set of pure Arab values and principles derived from the Islamic religion and deep-rooted
Qatari heritage with all the authenticity and nobility it contains. With that in mind, the group has carried out many community initiatives
including hosting a number of HMC patients in a collective dinner party (Ghabga) in the holy month of Ramadan which was attended
by Dr. Mohammed bin Johar Al-Mohammed, the group›s Vice Chairman and Managing Director, as well as a number of departmental
directors of the Group.
