Training women and young people in Egypt

At Skretting, we recognise the importance of supporting people in the early stages of their career, and ensuring that they are given every opportunity to thrive within our organisation. As part of our strategy to find and nurture emerging talent, we are committed to providing challenging opportunities and a framework to guide career growth for individuals in all of the regions and communities that we operate in.

SHV Lapwing award

In 2020, Skretting Egypt was recognised with a Lapwing Award from our parent company SHV for an important training and employment programme it has introduced for women and young people in the country. This initiative, which is being conducted in collaboration with the Sawiris Foundation for social development and the Netherlands embassy in Egypt, has been providing training in such areas as quality and laboratory analysis, production processes, purchasing, sustainability and living our values. It’s also seeking to encourage the rights of young women.

The Lapwing Awards were introduced by SHV to encourage and acknowledge all of the great work that is being done across its family of companies.
