In line with the directives of H.E. Eng. Karim

Derivatives Company (ETHYDCO) organized a Sports and Entertainment Day
for employees and their families.
The event was held under the patronage of Chemist
Hesham Riyad, Chairman and Managing Director of ETHYDCO, on Saturday,

The day’s activities included a wide variety of
competitions and games suitable for all age groups—youth, adults, women, and
children—such as running races and Spinning (stationary cycling), which
attracted great participation, in addition to trampoline activities that
were particularly popular among children.
The event was filled with joy, enthusiasm, and a

Committee presented a commemorative shield to the company’s Chairman in

to strengthen social ties, promote familiarity, and deepen the sense of
belonging to this organization that everyone takes pride in. He added that
promoting awareness of the importance of sports as a way of life—whether
at work, at home, or anywhere else—has a positive impact on public health,
workplace environment, and employee performance, ultimately contributing to
increased productivity.
He extended his sincere appreciation for the
positive and fruitful cooperation from the management and members of Alex
West Club, praising the exceptional efforts made by the company’s Sports
Committee in organizing this event for the second consecutive year.
