Message from the Board of Directors

Operating in a diverse and complex region, with a multitude of challenges makes us inherently aware of the duty we have as the Board of Directors to ensure and foster the promise of meaningful connectivity across our footprint.

We realize that the best way for Zain to contribute towards socio-economic development in the markets in which it operates is to work towards building the internal resilience of the company, ensuring that our foundations are strong, adaptive, and can lead us to transform towards our new reality. During 2021, we saw the business grow steadily despite the COVID-19 pandemic continuing to impact our operating markets.

Socio-economic impacts coupled with the effects of climate change underscored the need to upskill employees, set in place more aggressive greenhouse gas reduction targets, as well as the requirement to further contribute to the innovation ecosystem. To do so, we acknowledge the need to continue developing the workforce of the future to be able to play a catalytic role in our communities.

As we move forward, Zain will continue to push its transformative agenda with an inclusive and equitable approach to strengthen our communities and together work towards a prosperous future.

We would like to take this opportunity to extend our gratitude to His Highness the Amir of the State of Kuwait, Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmed Al Jaber Al Sabah; His Highness the Crown Prince, Sheikh Meshal Al Ahmed Al Jaber Al Sabah, His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Al Khalid Al Hamad Al Sabah, as well as the members of the governments in which we operate, for their invaluable support, instrumental in the continued achievements of our organization.

Sincerely yours,
Zain Group Board of Directors
