Proving that they are fulfilling their purpose of Changing the World Together, THE One yet again bagged the Best Corporate Social Responsibility of the Year award (their ninth CSR accolade since 2006), at the Retail City 2011 Awards ceremony.

 

While a number of THE One's management were present to share in the celebrations at Tuesday's event, held in the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre's Sheikh Maktoum Hall, CEO Thomas Lundgren was unable to attend due to being abroad at the time.

Accepting the award on his behalf, Stuart Nishikawa, Head of IT, said: "As the Retail City Awards have always been a front runner in recognizing the importance of Corporate Social Responsibility, I am truly honoured to receive this accolade on behalf of the entire THE One Tribe for the fifth time. Thank you and please join us in Changing the World Together!"

 

The Retail City Awards' international panel of industry experts singled out the 'Always Different, Always Limited, Never Expensive' home fashion brand for its outstanding commitment to CSR, which includes ethical sourcing, hiring those with special needs, local volunteering and global education through THE Onederworld - THE One's Sustainable Village Community Programme.
