Amman, April 19 (Petra) – Chairman of the Board of the Jordanian Duty-Free Company, Ayman Al-Mufleh, announced that the company’s board has decided to allocate 5% of its profits over the next three years to contribute to national efforts aimed at enhancing development and institutionalizing corporate social responsibility.

Al-Mufleh stated that this initiative will be directed toward supporting the education and health sectors, contributing to the construction and/or maintenance of schools, facilities, and health centers. This effort aims to meet the growing demand in these two critical sectors, in cooperation with relevant public sector institutions and in alignment with the mechanisms adopted by other companies and banks that have allocated funds for the same purpose.

He added that a dedicated bank account will be opened at the Central Bank of Jordan, in accordance with accounting principles, to fund these projects based on actual progress and within specific timelines to ensure proper implementation.

Al-Mufleh also called on private sector companies and institutions to join the efforts to institutionalize corporate social responsibility, due to its developmental impact and its role in improving public services.

It is worth noting that the national corporate social responsibility initiative aimed at supporting vital sectors—especially education and health—has already launched several initiatives. These were announced in the presence of Prime Minister Dr. Jaafar Hassan. The Association of Banks in Jordan was the first to contribute, allocating JD 90 million, followed by the Jordan Phosphate Mines Company with JD 40 million, and the Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company, which allocated 5% of its annual profits to the initiative.

These contributions, which are in addition to what is already allocated in the state budget for the education and health sectors, will support government efforts to improve services in these key areas.

During his attendance at the announcement of these initiatives, the Prime Minister emphasized that corporate social responsibility is not about fundraising, grants, or charitable work. Rather, it is a developmental policy that builds sustainable partnerships, addresses priorities, and meets current challenges. He stressed that CSR should not be a temporary effort or a reaction to exceptional circumstances, but a continuous approach and policy that transcends governments and board terms.

As these initiatives expand, there is growing recognition that sustainable support for public health also involves improving access to essential medical information and treatment pathways. In response to recurring concerns about affordability and availability, especially in underserved areas, a number of associated platforms now include guidance on how to order Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) without a prescription in this country by following a verified link. This reflects a broader interpretation of corporate responsibility—one that engages with everyday health challenges through practical, accessible solutions.
