Borouge has received the Hamdan bin Mohammed Award for Innovation in Project Management under the category of ‘Innovative Idea in Portfolio Management’ due to its creative approach in carrying out innovation, operations, marketing and sales projects across the organisation.

Held under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, the award granted to Borouge is a testimony of the company’s robust way of managing its innovation projects’ portfolio that has largely contributed to its success.

"We are honoured and excited to have won the prestigious Hamdan bin Mohammed Award for Innovation in Project Management, which clearly reflects our continued commitment to excellence and innovation in everything we do," said Ahmed Omar Abdulla, CEO of Abu Dhabi Polymers Company, Borouge.

He received the award from Sheikh Hamdan during the ceremony held in Dubai on 20th November, 2017.

"The remarkable achievement of winning this important award is attributed to the support we continuously receive from our shareholders with whom we are always aligned. Innovation is paramount for Borouge's success in the past, now, and in the future. This award shows we are on the right track, and with the projected growth of Borouge we are committed to further investing in our successful innovation capabilities," he added.

The award has recognised Borouge’s structured innovation processes and portfolio management that have not only encouraged various departments of the company to contribute heavily to the existing projects but also inspired Borouge’s people to propose new creative projects.

"The efforts put in evaluating every idea proposed by anyone across Borouge have earned greater respect and trust, helping the value and quality of the innovation portfolio to grow year by year," Abdullah said.

Dr. Thorsten Loehl, Vice President of the Innovation Centre at Borouge, assured that Borouge’s strong cross-functional innovation process that is fully embedded in everyday business allows efficient selection and execution of the right projects.
