them many great prizes. United Yousef M. Naghi
Co. was also honored to celebrate Saudi Arabia’s

Finally, as a part of our commitment to support the
development and potential advancement of our
teams, we conducted a Leadership Innovation
Program (UN-LG Leadership Academy) to our
management and supervisory team. We believe
in people and that the only way to succeed
and improve our results even further is to build
the capabilities of our people. The Leadership
academy is designed to help managers and
supervisors execute a business strategy by
creating an environment that supports both
