Making a Difference, Changing Lives.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Arab & India Spices works closely with stakeholders, customers, employees and partners to address the sustainability, ethical and social challenges facing our industry. Agriculture is fundamental to the planet’s wellbeing, and we pay particular attention to issues of environmental impact and resource scarcity alongside our wider social commitments.
As a responsible corporate citizen, we are committed to development and growth that extends beyond commercial performance — improving quality of life in the communities around us.
1 Billion Meals Endowment, 2023
Arab & India Spices contributed AED 5 million to the 1 Billion Meals Endowment campaign, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.The endowment establishes a sustainable food safety net for communities affected by food insecurity, addressing hunger and malnutrition among those impacted by crises and natural disasters. We were honoured to support an initiative so closely aligned with our own work in food security.
Consumer brands supporting charitable work
We have partnered with Human Appeal International, sharing 5% of the profits generated from our consumer brands RK and Soorya. Every purchase of these products makes a contribution to charitable causes.
Afghanistan food aid, 2022
In partnership with the Fatima Bint Mohammed Initiative, we supported approximately 1000 people in Afghanistan with essential food aid, including lentils and other staples.
Community support in the UAE
Throughout the year we provide food aid and essential supplies to workers in labour camps across Dubai, with additional food packages distributed each Ramadan. That support has held through more difficult periods as well: during the COVID-19 pandemic we supplied food and shelter to workers who had lost their employment and helped many return to their home countries, and through the regional conflict of early 2026 our distributions to the camps continued uninterrupted.
Special Needs Future Development Center
We are a long-standing corporate supporter of the Special Needs Future Development Center (SNF) in Dubai, which works with young adults aged 14 and above to build the skills and confidence they need to become self-sufficient, both personally and professionally. Our annual contribution to the Center includes books and educational materials, food supplies, and direct financial support. SNF’s work in helping people of determination move towards independence is something we are proud to support year after year.
