The Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) is gearing up to honor winners of the prestigious Sharjah Economic Excellence Award 2022. The ceremony, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammad bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, recognizes businesses across various sectors that have demonstrated exceptional performance and commitment to excellence.
This year's edition saw over 100 economic establishments and entrepreneurs vying for recognition in nine distinct categories. The rigorous evaluation process involved a panel of over 45 specialists who meticulously assessed each participant based on established criteria.
The Sharjah Excellence Award program serves as a cornerstone initiative for the SCCI, promoting a culture of institutional governance and adherence to global quality standards. By recognizing businesses that prioritize ethical practices and social responsibility, the program fosters a robust and sustainable economic environment within the Emirate.
The award categories cater to a diverse range of business types and contributions. The Sharjah Gulf Excellence Award acknowledges outstanding companies from across the GCC region, categorized by size. Similarly, the Sharjah Excellence Award focuses on exceptional businesses within the Emirate itself.
For enterprising ventures, the Sharjah Entrepreneurs Award and the Sharjah Small & Medium Enterprises Award celebrate the achievements of startups and growing businesses. The Sharjah Green Award shines a light on companies that prioritize environmentally friendly practices, while the Sharjah Social Responsibility Award recognizes those that demonstrate a strong commitment to giving back to the community.
Furthermore, the Sharjah Best Security Standards Award acknowledges businesses that prioritize robust security measures. A special category, the Sharjah Entrepreneurs with Disability Award, honors the achievements of differently-abled individuals who have carved a niche for themselves in the entrepreneurial landscape.
The upcoming ceremony promises to be a grand affair, attracting dignitaries, diplomats, representatives from Gulf Chambers of Commerce and Industry, and a host of business leaders, media representatives, and stakeholders. The recognition bestowed upon the winners will not only serve as a testament to their exceptional achievements but also inspire others to strive for excellence within Sharjah's thriving business community.
