Contact Financial Holding continues to strengthen its development role in the Egyptian market by supporting initiatives that promote good governance, transparency, and equal opportunity. A key focus remains on the economic and social empowerment of women.
Strategic Partnership with UNGCNE
Contact Insurance Brokerage, the insurance brokerage arm of Contact Financial Holding, has officially joined the UN Global Compact Network Egypt (UNGCNE). This membership reinforces the company’s commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles.
Through this step, Contact becomes part of the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative. The partnership allows the company to access a global network of knowledge, tools, and training that support responsible business practices.
Supporting “Bloom with Purpose”
Contact Insurance Brokerage is also supporting UNGCNE’s flagship women empowerment program, “Bloom with Purpose.” This Pearson-certified initiative is designed to help women in mid-management roles develop leadership, emotional intelligence, and strategic decision-making skills. The program prepares them to transition into senior executive positions.
Building Sustainable Competencies
As a UNGCNE member, Contact Insurance Brokerage will benefit from sustainability accelerators in areas such as Business & Human Rights, Climate Action, Innovation, and Anti-Corruption. The company will also take part in Sustain360, a core program that builds ESG skills across Egypt’s private sector.
In addition, Contact will have full access to the UN Global Compact Academy, the United Nations’ premier digital platform for on-demand sustainability training.
Leadership Statements
Mrs. Nehal Break, Chairman and Managing Director of Contact Insurance Brokerage, said:
“Women empowerment and good governance are not just responsibilities – they are pillars of building strong, sustainable institutions. Our partnership with UNGCNE reflects our commitment to diversity, equality, and innovation.”
She added:
“This partnership offers global standards that will help us turn our vision into real, measurable impact—both inside the company and across the community.”
Mrs. Walaa El-Husseiny, CEO of UNGCNE, commented:
“We are proud to partner with Contact Insurance Brokerage, a company placing sustainability and women empowerment at the core of its strategy. Their support for ‘Bloom with Purpose’ demonstrates a true commitment to enabling women in decision-making roles.”
A Commitment to Sustainable Impact
This collaboration is part of Contact’s broader strategy to support sustainable development goals (SDGs), including gender equality, quality education, decent work, and institutional integrity. The partnership reinforces Contact’s dedication to creating long-term positive impact in Egypt’s financial sector and society as a whole.
