(MENAFN- Jordan Times) AMMAN - The Board of Directors of the Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company (JPRC) has allocated a corporate social responsibility initiative to support the health and education sectors over the next three years, allocating 5 per cent of the company's annual profits to the effort.

JPRC Chairperson Abdul Rahim Baqai emphasised that the decision reflects the company's national commitment, highlighting investment in health and education as a strategic priority for fostering long-term stability and societal advancement, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

Baqai noted that the initiative aligns with JPRC's broader efforts to promote sustainable development and strengthen community partnerships. He reaffirmed the company's dedication to launching impactful projects that enhance health and education services across the Kingdom.

Speaking recently at the launch of the Jordan Phosphate Mines Company's initiative, Prime Minister Jafar Hassan stressed that corporate social responsibility should extend beyond donations and charity to include sustainable development policies that address national priorities and long-term challenges.

He commended the private sector's role in driving development efforts and encouraged further institutional participation in national initiatives.
