As application of the CSR, Mr. Eissa browsed the various CSR activities of Orange Group Corporation which include organizing competitions for innovative entrepreneurship projects and innovations to use technology in serving society. They also include Enactus National competition, women empowerment, partnering with national and international NGOs and focus groups in many fields like fighting common ailments as diabetes and cancer, supporting better nutrition, online protection and safe usage of Internet and Autism. Orange Group Corporation also allocates a considerable interest to the environmental issues focusing on some areas like environmental awareness, climate change and responsible consumption. Those activities have covered serious topics like the radio waves, and tried to encourage projects in renewable and clean energy. After the presentation, the attendees raised some questions regarding the percentage of the Corporation profits dedicated to CSR activities, claiming it is still very modest in Egypt. Other attendees raised questions about the existence of independent entities in Egypt to inspect and asses the CSR activities. They also questioned the amount of the big communication companies’ expenditure on TV campaigns.
