The sixth edition of the “Public Relations and Social Responsibility” festival was held at the Qalam Hall of the National Library of Iran, with the aim of examining the link between effective communications and the way economic enterprises fulfill their social roles. The event was attended by public relations veterans, social responsibility experts and specialists, and representatives of 100 leading companies.
This specialized event, held on August 18, brought together organizations and specialists seeking to analyze the communication dimensions of corporate social responsibility (CSR). An important feature of this year’s festival was the revision of its evaluation structure. In light of the country’s developments over the past few months, the criteria for submissions and assessment areas were adapted to provide a more accurate and realistic reflection of organizations’ social roles under current conditions.
At this national event, Shiraz Petrochemical Company topped the Public Relations and Social Responsibility Festival and, through its outstanding performance, received three valuable awards:
- Social Responsibility Badge and Statue: Awarded to Shiraz Petrochemical Company in recognition of its commitment to social objectives.
- Special Social Responsibility Badge (Wartime Edition): Presented to Mr. Babak Pourkia, the esteemed CEO of Shiraz Petrochemical Company.
- Special Ambassador of Social and Communication Responsibility Badge: Presented to Mr. Mahan Shojaei, Director of Public Relations and International Affairs of Shiraz Petrochemical Company.
It is worth noting that these honorary badges were received on behalf of Shiraz Petrochemical Company by Mr. Najafi, the company’s Director of Labor Relations, Social Responsibility, and Welfare Services.
Achieving these triple honors is evidence of Shiraz Petrochemical’s comprehensive and strategic approach to integrating communications management with social responsibilities, as well as the organization’s leadership in supporting society and the environment.
