This marks the second sustainability recognition awarded to Madinet Masr within the same year.

In collaboration with the Egyptian Heritage Rescue Foundation, the company has made a financial contribution to the restoration of the decorative ceiling in its main hall.

For us, building communities is not limited to developing new urban spaces; it is a holistic approach grounded in understanding the real needs of people and communities. We believe sustainability is essential to shaping the future and addressing its challenges. It is not simply an environmental goal but the foundation of any successful, purpose-driven real estate developer. Our vision combines urban innovation with developmental purpose to present a balanced and integrated model that drives lasting, positive change.'

This award reflects our ongoing commitment to a development model that balances urban growth with community empowerment, resource optimization, and cultural preservation. By reviving heritage, improving quality of life, and enhancing social inclusion, we remain dedicated to implementing tailored initiatives that respond to local needs and foster more inclusive, sustainable urban environments. Our role as a real estate developer goes beyond construction; we strive to create added value and elevate community well-being.'
Madinet Masr's approach to sustainability and social responsibility is grounded in a comprehensive strategy centered on three primary pillars: shelter, reviving heritage, and community uplift, which encompasses philanthropic initiatives addressing essential needs such as food and healthcare. The approach reaffirms the company's commitment to creating a positive and lasting impact in the communities it serves.
This strategy has been translated into tangible partnerships, such as the company's continued collaboration with the Egyptian Food Bank, distributing thousands of food boxes that benefited 50,000 individuals in Giza and Qalyubia. In addition, through the 'Together in Goodness' initiative, in partnership with Al Joud Foundation, Madinet Masr provided Iftar meals for 36,000 people during the holy month of Ramadan at its flagship projects, Taj City and Sarai, thereby strengthening local food security and community solidarity.

In addition to a community health initiative, offering free medical screenings and awareness seminars for female employees, focusing on the importance of early detection and prevention of breast cancer. In support of entrepreneurship, Madinet Masr partnered with Orange Corners Egypt, an initiative by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, to support young Egyptian entrepreneurs in building profitable and sustainable businesses. This partnership places special emphasis on empowering youth in Upper Egypt and the Delta, promoting innovation, inclusion, and competitive business growth.
