KUWAIT: Leading regional business magazine International Finance awarded Zain the 'Best Telecom Company in Kuwait' at the prestigious Achievement Awards, held in Dubai. The International Finance Awards recognize and reward outstanding success and innovation across various industry sectors in the country.
Waleed Al-Khashti, Zain Kuwait's Corporate Communications and Relations Director, received the award on behalf of Zain. The company was singled out for this year's honor given its relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation with the aim of achieving superior digital lifestyle transformation.
Zain expressed its pride and appreciation for this recognition, as well as in the interest International Finance Magazine shows in the achievements of Kuwaiti organizations on particular. The 2017 awards honored leading companies and institutions that have delivered success, innovation and excellence, as well as those that have made a vital contribution to the vibrancy of business within Kuwait and the region.
Zain is deeply invested in the fabric of the Kuwaiti society, and its corporate sustainability and social responsibility activities speak for themselves in this regard. Keen to encourage and uplift the youth, Zain has a series of initiatives and programs aimed at engaging with youth in Kuwait, and allowing them to develop their talent and find expression to their ideas.
As one of the most recognizable brands in Kuwait, Zain was recently ranked the second most powerful home-grown brand in the Middle East by London-based valuation and strategy consultancy Brand Finance. The company was also awarded the 'Best Mobile Operator' and 'Best Internet Service Provider' in Kuwait from Service Hero for the fifth time.
