Around 1,650 employees of the United Arab Emirates-based Aries Group pledged to donate their organs during a program organized at the company’s headquarters in Sharjah last week. More than half of the participating employees are from the United Arab Emirates, while the rest come from the company’s offices around the world.

As part of its efforts to raise awareness and encourage organ donation, the group announced that 90 percent of its future vacancies will be reserved for those who support the organ donation campaign.

“The initiative goes beyond a mere philanthropic effort. It resonates with the very spirit of Aries Group, which emphasizes preserving the health of not only employees but also their families through organ donation,” Roy said.

He said the group has collaborated with Father Davis Chiramel’s Green Life, the official volunteer of the UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention’s Hayat Program (Mohap) for organ donation. ‘Hayat’ is a national system designed to enhance efforts to encourage more people to donate human organs and tissues, following international standards and practices. Green Life, an initiative of Father Davis Chiramel, is dedicated to promoting deceased organ donation and improving the lives of those affected by organ failure.

Father Davis Chiramel, popularly known as the Kidney Priest, is an Indian Catholic priest and founder of the Accident Management and Transport Service (ACTS) and the Kidney Federation of India.

Last month, Mohap designated Fr Chiramel as a “Hayat champion” and invited him to support the country’s organ donation programme. Roy said Fr Chiramel’s guidance in securing official approval of the campaign in the UAE is a testament to the collective willpower and unity behind this transformative cause.

“By advocating for organ donation, we are reinforcing a culture of self-care among employees, recognizing that their well-being directly impacts organizational success,” he added.

A leader in the maritime industry, Aries Group is headquartered in Sharjah and operates 60 companies in 25 countries.
