KUWAIT CITY, June 24: Agility, a supply chain services, infrastructure, and innovation company, has renewed partnerships with Kuwait’s leading non-profits to empower and support over 5,000 beneficiaries in Kuwait throughout 2025, building on two decades of collaboration that have reached over 51,000 people across the country.

2025 CSR Program:

1- INJAZ-Kuwait Programs

Agility will continue its 18-year partnership with INJAZ Kuwait, supporting programs that equip young people with financial skills to succeed in today’s private sector. INJAZ provides and runs nationwide financial literacy programs for students in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and private schools, as part of its mission to empower 100,000 students in Kuwait. Agility’s support extends to a range of INJAZ programs, including Entrepreneurship Master Classes, It’s My Business, Innovation Camps, Personal Finance, and Job Shadows initiatives.

2-LOYAC’s Kon Program

Agility has also renewed its commitment to LOYAC’s “KON” program, now in its tenth year. The five-week program trains students aged 12 to 16 in entrepreneurship through hands-on learning and workshops led by industry professionals. Developed in collaboration with Babson College, a leading U.S. institution in entrepreneurial education, the program equips students with core business skills, critical thinking, leadership, and communication abilities.

3-CODED Academy

Agility has renewed its strategic support for two of CODED Academy’s programs: Kuwait Codes and Academy X. To date, these free programs have trained 2,833 young men and women in Kuwait on foundational and advanced programming languages.

Now in its fourth year, Kuwait Codes has proven to be a successful platform for nurturing tech and coding talent across Kuwait. Agility’s renewed support reflects its continued commitment to impactful educational initiatives and aligns with the company’s broader mission of driving innovation in supply chain technology and digital infrastructure.

Academy X, which began as a pilot program within Kuwait Codes in 2023 and officially launched last year, enters its second year in 2025 following remarkable success. The program offers a dynamic environment for growth and innovation and is dedicated to empowering the next generation of women innovators in Kuwait. Agility’s continued support underscores its commitment to building a more inclusive and digitally empowered future.

4-RUN Kuwait by FSHN

Agility, a founding partner of RUN Kuwait, has renewed its support for the country’s first annual fundraising race. Organized since 2013 by the non-profit Fawzia Sultan Healthcare Network (FSHN), the event raises funds to provide essential healthcare services to children from underprivileged families. All proceeds go toward therapy sessions at FSHN’s Child Evaluation and Rehabilitation Center (CERC), which offers free or low-cost care for children with special needs, ensuring they receive the treatment and support they need.

5-Work-Maker Project by Youth Public Authority

For the third consecutive year, Agility, in collaboration with Engineering Systems Group (ESG), is continuing its accelerated facilities management training program for 25 young Kuwaitis as part of the Work-Maker Project, a national workforce development initiative led by Kuwait’s Youth Public Authority.

The program provides practical, industry-focused training to Kuwaiti engineering graduates from universities in Kuwait, the U.S., and the U.K., equipping them with the skills and experience needed for careers in both the public and private sectors. By aligning training with real market needs, the initiative helps prepare young professionals for in-demand roles in facilities management and related industries.

6-Participation in Career Fairs

Agility also actively engages with the future workforce through its participation in career fairs, with a strong focus on employing and empowering Kuwaiti youth. Agility took part in the American University of the Middle East (AUM) Career Fair and the K-Tech Career Fair. These platforms allowed Agility to connect with young Kuwaiti students and graduates, showcase career opportunities across its diverse business units and reinforce its commitment to national workforce development.

7-Food for Good

As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting communities in need, Agility has partnered with the Kuwait Association for Needy Families for Agility’s annual ‘Maachlat Al-Khair’ (Food for Good) initiative. Through this collaboration, Agility provides 1,000 underprivileged families in Kuwait with essential food packages during Ramadan, with support from Agility subsidiaries UPAC and Shipa.

Recognition:

Agility is ranked among the top three sustainability leaders in the Middle East’s Transport & Logistics sector and was one of only five Kuwait-based companies featured on Forbes’ Middle East Sustainable 100 list for 2024. The company has been included in the FTSE4Good Index Series since 2020—a global benchmark for companies with strong ESG practices.
