Developed through a collaborative effort in partnership with the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women), this policy is rooted in a comprehensive review of existing policies and practices worldwide. It aims to align with global best practices while incorporating the essential components that make a protection from sexual harassment policy robust and effective. 

Fostering Inclusive and Safe Workplaces 

In 2024, APIC Group focused on fostering a safer and more inclusive workplace by providing comprehensive virtual training to all employees on sexual harassment, online harassment, and workplace harassment. This initiative aimed to raise awareness, educate employees on recognizing and addressing inappropriate behaviour, and reinforce our commitment to maintaining a respectful and professional work environment. 

The training covered key topics such as identifying different forms of harassment, understanding reporting mechanisms, and fostering a culture of accountability and mutual respect.

From this selection, the top three were presented to the Sustainable Development and Social Responsibility Committee on the Board. This year, two winners were selected in recognition of the outstanding merit of both projects in both innovation and impact. The committee determined that each initiative demonstrated strong innovation, measurable impact, and alignment with the company’s sustainability and operational excellence objectives. Given the significant value and results achieved by both teams, the decision was made to honour them jointly in acknowledgment of their equally deserving contributions.

Winners of the second CEO Sustainability Award for 2024 are Siniora Food Industries Company Palestine, a team of 17 employees, and Reema Hygienic Paper Company, a team of three employees.

 

Siniora Food Industries Company Palestine achieves 21% reduction in water use in 2024


A key component of this initiative was the installation of sub-metering systems in critical operational areas, enabling detailed analysis of water consumption patterns and the identification of waste sources. Based on the insights generated, a series of practical water management solutions were implemented, including water recycling systems for production processes such as cooling systems for the R240 and R245 lines, vacuum pumps, cutting equipment, and the reuse of rejected water from reverse osmosis (RO) systems. In addition, advanced and customized nozzles and spraying systems were introduced in high-consumption areas, including cooling showers and thawing rooms, to ensure precise and efficient water use.

To sustain performance, a daily monitoring system was established to track consumption trends, visualize usage patterns, and detect anomalies such as leaks or excessive consumption, enabling rapid corrective actionThese efforts delivered measurable environmental and financial benefits. Total water consumption in 2024 decreased by 21% compared to 2023, while efficiency improved significantly, with water use per ton of production reduced by 803 litres. With annual production reaching approximately 10,000 tons, the improved efficiency generated estimated annual savings of USD 100,000.

This initiative demonstrates how data-driven management and operational innovation can reduce environmental impact while delivering tangible business value.

 

Reema Hygienic Paper Company engineering innovation eliminates waste and boosts production efficiency


A targeted operational improvement initiative addressed a persistent production challenge caused by the continuous accumulation of dust particles along the production line. The buildup was leading to multiple operational and quality issues, including frequent line stoppages of 100 – 120 minutes per shift, equivalent to approximately 25% of working time. Each restart resulted in additional raw material (paper) waste, reduced efficiency, and lost production capacity.

Dust contamination also affected the glue system, reducing viscosity and clogging pipes. This led to the disposal of approximately 19 kg of glue per day, representing 22% of daily glue consumption, and compromised product adhesion quality, requiring frequent glue replacement to maintain performance.

To address the issue, the technical team implemented an engineering solution within one month by installing a Doctor Blade system with Surface Distribution Control, integrated directly into the machine. This solution effectively prevented dust accumulation and stabilized the gluing process.

The intervention delivered significant operational, environmental, and financial benefits:

  • Glue waste was reduced to nearly zero, saving approximately 4,700kg annually, saving 22% of annual glue consumption, equivalent to USD 14,000 

  • Reduction in startup paper waste

  • Improved product quality and bonding performance

  • Reduced maintenance-related stoppages saving 100 – 120 minutes per shift, increasing available production time by 25%

  • Overall production capacity increased by 17%

  • Output increased from 1,758,351 kg of product using 21,844 kg of glue to 2,110,700 kg using only 17,076 kg of glue, increasing glue use efficiency by 54%.

This initiative demonstrates how focused engineering solutions can simultaneously reduce material waste, improve quality, enhance operational efficiency, and deliver measurable cost savings, supporting both productivity and sustainability objectives.

Employee Voice Shapes the Revision of the Employee Manual and Code of Conduct

In preparation for the revision of its Employee Manual and Code of Conduct, APIC launched a Group-wide employee survey to gather direct feedback and ensure that the updated policies reflect the realities, needs, and expectations of its workforce.

The survey aimed to assess employees’ understanding of existing policies, identify areas that require clarification or improvement, and capture suggestions on topics such as workplace conduct, communication, grievance mechanisms, leave provisions, and employee rights and responsibilities.

Customer Health and Safety

Health and safety impacts of products and services

The health and safety impacts of products and services are paramount considerations for APIC Group, and are managed with utmost care. 

Governments around the world have implemented stringent regulations to ensure the safety of products and services. These regulations govern various aspects such as manufacturing processes, ingredient disclosure, labelling requirements, and product testing. Compliance with these regulations is essential for businesses to operate legally and to safeguard consumers from potential harm. 

The food industry is subject to rigorous safety standards to prevent contamination, foodborne illnesses, and allergic reactions. From farm to table, each stage of food production, processing, packaging, and distribution is closely monitored to uphold safety standards. Regular inspections, quality control measures, and traceability systems are implemented to identify and mitigate risks to public health. For more information on related certifications, please visit www.apic.ps 

Pharmaceuticals and healthcare products undergo extensive testing and clinical trials to ensure efficacy and safety before they reach the market. Adverse effects and interactions with other medications are thoroughly researched and documented to provide healthcare professionals and consumers with accurate information for informed decision-making. 

APIC Group monitors the production and disposal of products and services that can have environmental consequences, as in turn may impact human health. For example, APIC Group manages certain chemicals in manufacturing processes and the disposal of electronic waste through proper certified third-parties, to avoid the pollution of air, water, and soil, which pose health risks to both humans and ecosystems. 

APIC Group reviews products and services with safety in mind, this is essential for preventing accidents and minimizing risks to consumers. Innovations such as childproof packaging, ergonomic design features, and built-in safety mechanisms significantly reduce the likelihood of injuries and adverse health effects.

APIC Group empowers consumers with knowledge about the health and safety implications of products and services enables them to make informed choices. Education campaigns, product labelling, and access to reliable information play crucial roles in raising awareness about potential risks and promoting responsible consumption. 

In an interconnected global economy, products and services often traverse complex supply chains involving multiple countries and jurisdictions. APIC Group ensures consistent safety standards throughout these supply chains is essential for preventing the importation of unsafe products and maintaining consumer confidence in global trade.

In conclusion, the health and safety impacts of products and services are multifaceted and require a comprehensive approach involving government regulation, industry standards, consumer awareness, and corporate responsibility. By prioritizing safety at every stage of the product lifecycle, we can minimize risks, protect public health, and build a safer and more sustainable future for all. 

Requirements for product and service information and labelling

Product and service information and labelling play a crucial role in ensuring consumer safety, facilitating informed purchasing decisions, and promoting transparency in the marketplace. Governments and regulatory bodies around the world have established requirements and guidelines to standardize the information provided to consumers. In addition to our key requirements for product and service information and labelling such as ingredient disclosure, nutritional information, warnings, usage instructions, expiration dates and shelf life, country of origin, e safety nvironmental impact, language, regulatory compliance, and truthful and non-misleading claims.

In addition to its direct economic impact, which includes market expansion, improved services, and local production, there is also substantial income for suppliers, employees, and shareholders, as well as tax payments to the government, APIC Group also contributes to indirect economic benefits through infrastructure investments and the support of essential services.

As APIC Group continues to grow, its expansion leads to indirect contributions to the economy, impacting various sectors and stakeholders beyond its immediate operations. These indirect contributions play a significant role in driving economic growth, fostering innovation, and creating opportunities for sustainable development. Here’s how APIC Group’s expansion contributes indirectly to the economy:

Supply Chain Stimulus:

As APIC Group expands its operations, it increases demand for goods and services across its supply chain. This includes suppliers of raw materials, components, equipment, and services necessary for its business activities. The increased demand stimulates economic activity upstream, leading to higher production levels, job creation, and revenue generation for suppliers and their employees.

Local Procurement and Support for Small Businesses:

APIC Group’s expansion often involves local procurement initiatives, whereby it seeks to source goods and services from local suppliers and small businesses. In 2023, APIC Group also committed to prioritising women owned and women led businesses. By supporting local enterprises, APIC Group contributes to the growth of the local economy, strengthens supply chains, and fosters entrepreneurship. This, in turn, leads to increased employment opportunities, income generation, and economic resilience within the community.

Infrastructure Development:

APIC Group’s expansion necessitates investments in infrastructure such as office buildings, manufacturing facilities, distribution centres, and transportation networks. These infrastructure projects create jobs during construction and ongoing operation, support related industries such as construction and engineering, and enhance the overall business environment. Improved infrastructure also attracts further investment and spurs economic development in the surrounding areas.

Knowledge and Technology Transfer:

As APIC Group expands into new markets or invests in research and development initiatives, it facilitates knowledge and technology transfer, benefiting local industries and academic institutions. Through partnerships, collaborations, and capacity-building programs, APIC Group shares expertise, best practices, and innovative technologies, driving innovation, skills development, and competitiveness in the broader economy.

Economic Diversification:

APIC Group’s expansion contributes to economic diversification by creating opportunities in diverse sectors and industries.

This diversification enhances long-term sustainability and prosperity for the economy as a whole.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR):

APIC Group invests heavily in initiatives that benefit local communities with priority for Persons with Disabilities, orphans and vulnerable families, health – including high priority for mental health, education, and women’s empowerment. In line with APIC Group’s CSR Policy, all requests for support are processed and go through a due diligence process ahead of approval, to ensure that they are in line with APIC Group’s priorities and identified needs for each community, as well as assess and evaluate the background, reputation, integrity, and financial viability of potential partners. This proactive approach allows APIC Group to make informed decisions, mitigate risks, and safeguard their social investments.

In 2025, APIC continues to invest in initiatives that create meaningful social impact and support the resilience of our communities. During the year, APIC’s total contributions to corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs reached a value equivalent to 15% of net profit, reflecting our sustained dedication to social development despite a challenging operating environment. 

Given the exceptional circumstances and the difficult humanitarian situation affecting our people, APIC prioritized maintaining its support to long-standing partners and strategic programs, ensuring continuity and stability for initiatives that depend on our commitment. Despite the many challenges and constraints imposed on the delivery of aid, a significant portion of our efforts was directed toward urgent humanitarian assistance in the Gaza Strip, focusing on addressing immediate needs and alleviating hardship.
