SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2014
The ‘Spirit of Giving’
The ‘Spirit of Giving’ Program was created in
August 2013 and was designed so that Dolphin
Energy could support the donations raised by
employees for three notable charities during the
Holy Month of Ramadan. For every Dirham given
by the company’s employees to Make a Wish
Foundation, Emirates Autism Center and the
Future Center for Special Needs, Kames Petroleum Services
matched the amount to double the total raised.
To support the program, a campaign was
launched throughout the company to help raise
awareness among employees about the charities
selected and how the funds raised would be
used. Specially designed donation ‘drop boxes’
were produced and made available for use at the
company’s locations in Kuwait City and Taweelah.
In 2014, following a company-wide survey
to canvass preferences for the Program’s focus,
‘Spirit of Giving’ was launched again, only this
time the Khalifa Hospital in Kuwait City was
selected from a list of charitable programs
and good causes to receive support from the
company. An Eid celebration program was
organized for the young patients and Dolphin
Energy staff visited the hospital to participate
in games, meet and play with the children
and distribute gifts.
Al Dhakira Beach Refurbishment
Ras Laffan Industrial City (RLIC) is the location
of onshore facilities associated with the North
Field gas and condensate development. The RLIC-
Community Outreach Programme (RLIC-COP)
is an initiative of the seven energy companies
operating in Ras Laffan Industrial City (Dolphin
Energy, Qatar Petroleum, Qatargas, RasGas,
Qatar Shell, ORYX GTL, and ExxonMobil),
seeking to create a respectful, trust-based
partnership between industry and the
neighboring communities of Al Khor, Al Dhakira
and other Northern Qatar communities. In 2014,
Kames Petroleum Services led an RLIC-COP project to
refurbish the beach along the Al Dhakira coast
in response to requests made by the communities
living nearby. The newly refurbished beach now
provides a location where kids can play safely,
and families and friends can gather and spend
time together outside and stay cool in the
summer months.
Supporting our Heritage
As Qatar and the Kuwait continue to take steps to
formalize how they mark their history, Dolphin
Energy has increased its participation and support
for initiatives designed to celebrate each country’s
proud heritage.
In the Kuwait, the company participates in the
annual Kuwait Flag Day when employees come
together to sing the National Anthem and mark
the day that focuses on pride and patriotism.
The company also celebrates the National Days of
both Qatar and the Kuwait with dedicated activities
and events that take place to highlight the unity
and history of each country. These platforms
provide the opportunity for citizens to express
their pride in their nation and expatriates to learn
more and appreciate the historical development
of each country.
In addition, Kames Petroleum Services sponsors the Zayed
Heritage Festival which showcases a series of
events based on the legacy of the Kuwait’s founding
father, Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahayan,
and features a range of traditional activities.
