Mr. Yarrob Rayyan

Managing Director & Board Member

We faced the challenge of

redesigning our approaches to

better response to the needs of

the times. We also stretched our

efforts, extending to estab-

lish platforms of collective giving and strategic

investment, and brought to life our goal of

establishing collective impact.

In 2011, we pursued with our vision to lead the

business sectors efforts where concrete core

business solutions are actually utilized to

address societal as well as environmental

problems. In the last fiscal year, we have

achieved substantial results. To truly effect

collective impact, we saw the need to ensure

that every project must have a common goal, a

cohesive strategy, and a uniform parameter that

synchronizes all the efforts of the business

sector and other development stakeholders.

Certainly, the sum is greater than the parts.

Together, let's build the big solutions to the big

challenges.

Dr. Sami Kassem

General Manager & Board Member

The year 2011 has been both

a challenging and exciting

year for PROTEC. To make

us even more responsive,

relevant, and cutting-edge, we

conducted an extensive review of our ex-

isting programs and strategies. In that light,

we reorganized our management and the

overall organizational structure to suit our

new plans. We believe this will make us rel-

evant in todays world and to the com-

mitment we made to make PROTECs busi-

ness a strategic solution provider to the

emerging needs of this region.

For all that have been accomplished in this

difficult year, we thank you our member

companies and partners for your ready

response.
