Community Projects

At Sohar Aluminium we aim to be a ‘good neighbour’ by keeping the community well informed about Sohar Aluminium, project progress and issues that relate to the local people and their families.

We do this by holding regular face-to-face meetings with community leaders, publishing fact sheets and a quarterly newsletter, Tawasal, and keeping an ‘open door’ policy at our Information Centre where people can come to learn about aluminium smelting, our projects and talk to our Community Relations staff.

Through collaboration with Government departments, NGOs and community leaders we also plan and instigate projects to meet specific challenges faced by the local people of Sohar and surrounding areas.

Our areas of focus include:

  • Environment, Health and Safety

  • Education

  • Not-for-profit organizations and charities

  • Local business development

We also provide sponsorship for local events that aim to bring together the local Omani families and expatriate workers to promote cross-cultural relationships and increase understanding, awareness and respect of each others’ values. We also encourage and support our staff to give their time to the community.
