The management of Al Bustan Rotana, Dubai manifests its strong support towards corporate social responsibility as the property signs an agreement with the Dubai Municipality to be an active part of “Heafz Al Na’amah”, a food donation initiative. The signing agreement ceremony took place at the Dubai World Trade Centre under the patronage and was attended by H.H. Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, Minister of Finance and Chairman of Dubai Municipality, H.E Eng. Hussain Nasser Lootah, Director General of Dubai Municipality and Hussein Hachem, Cluster General Manager of Al Bustan Rotana Dubai and Al Murooj Rotana Dubai amongst other esteemed guests.
Heafz Al Na’amah aims to collect excess food from concerned establishments such as hotels and distribute them in labor camps and other less fortunate residents of the city. Al Bustan Rotana Dubai has been an active part of this noble initiative for many years now, with its excess food from weddings hosted in the hotel being donated for this cause. As part of the program, the hotel adheres to strict quality standard procedures, from preparation to storage and logistics set by the Dubai Municipality to ensure the highest quality of the food being donated. The hotel has donated more than 30,000 individual servings of food in 2015.
Commenting on this cause, Hussein Hachem, Cluster General Manager remarked, “Heafz Al Na’amah is a highly significant Dubai Muncipality initiative we strongly support. Giving back to the community and contributing to society in every possible way we can is of great importance, and we look forward to increasing the food contribution of Al Bustan Rotana Dubai more than we have done last year. We are honoured to be part of this program and we are proud to support again this year and the years to come.”
