Unicharm: The First Hygiene Company to Celebrate Father's Day in the GCC

Syyaha22-06-2025
Unicharm achieved a milestone by becoming the first hygiene manufacturer in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region to officially celebrate Father's Day. This pioneering move not only reflects the company's deep commitment to family values but also highlights the evolving cultural landscape where fathers are increasingly recognized for their essential role in raising children.At the heart of this groundbreaking celebration is BabyJoy, Unicharm's flagship diaper brand, which holds the title of the #1 brand in the GCC. BabyJoy is not only a symbol of superior quality and innovation in baby care, but it also stands out as a brand that understands and supports the emotional journey of parenting. As the official sponsor of this special Father's Day campaign, BabyJoy is bringing dads into the spotlight with a heartwarming tribute.The campaign's emotional core is amplified by the iconic song 'Ya Tayyib Al-Qalb' by the legendary Saudi artist Abdul Majeed Abdullah. Known for its touching lyrics and deep emotional resonance, the song perfectly captures the spirit of fatherhood – a blend of kindness, strength, and unconditional love. Through this campaign, Unicharm and BabyJoy aim to honor fathers across the GCC who give their all for their families with patience, sacrifice, and joy.
By leading this initiative, Unicharm is not only celebrating fathers, but also setting a new standard for corporate social engagement in the hygiene industry. It's a bold and heartfelt gesture that reaffirms Unicharm's role as a brand deeply rooted in the region's values – one that truly understands the meaning of family.

Saudi Arabia Sets New Skill-Based Work Visa System: How Can You Benefit?

Saudi Arabia has rolled out a major change to its work visa system that could benefit skilled foreign jobseekers looking to work in the Kingdom. For the first time, all foreign workers will be officially classified into one of three skill levels: high-skilled, skilled, and basic. Previously, Saudi Arabia issued work permits based mainly on job titles without clearly linking them to qualifications, salary levels, or actual skill sets—often leading to mismatches between roles and worker profiles. The new move, which took effect for current workers on July 5, 2025, and will apply to new hires from August 3, 2025, is part of the Kingdom's ongoing Vision 2030 reforms. The aim? To attract highly qualified professionals, raise workforce standards, and help jobseekers better match with relevant roles. High-skilled: Reserved for professions like engineers, doctors, and IT specialists. Candidates will need to meet a points-based system that considers their education, professional experience, and salary. Skilled: Mid-level roles such as technicians, supervisors, and administrative staff. These require some experience and verified qualifications but don't need to meet the high-skilled points threshold. Basic: For manual labour and support roles. Workers in this category must be under the age of 60. If you're applying for a job in Saudi Arabia, the new system adds transparency and predictability to the process. You'll now know where you stand based on your credentials, and employers must ensure your classification matches your contract and qualifications. More importantly, for jobseekers with strong educational or technical backgrounds, the new structure creates a clearer path to higher-tier job opportunities. Professional accreditation programs like Qualification Verification or Skills Verification will now play a bigger role in employment eligibility. Employers are now required to: Ensure all current and new foreign hires are accurately classified. Update job titles and employee records in the Qiwa platform. Submit corrections if the initial classification is inaccurate. Incorrect classification could affect a company's ability to hire foreign workers in the future. To improve your classification: Gather documentation of your education and professional experience. Consider enrolling in Saudi-approved verification programs. Keep your job title and duties clearly aligned in your employment contract.

Bahrain, Saudi hail strong economic cooperation

The Kingdom of Bahrain and Saudi Arabia continue to set a distinguished model of bilateral relations, grounded in solid foundations of cooperation and joint action across diverse sectors. This was affirmed by Finance and National Economy Minister, His Excellency Shaikh Salman bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, during a high-level coordination meeting held via video conference. Shaikh Salman co-chaired the meeting of the Coordination Committee on Economy, Energy, Trade and Industry alongside Saudi Minister of Economy and Planning, H.E. Faisal bin Fadhel Al Ibrahim. The committee is one of five operating under the umbrella of the Saudi-Bahraini Coordination Council. Enduring ties Emphasising the enduring and deeply rooted ties between the two kingdoms, Shaikh Salman lauded the progress of their relationship, which he said continues to grow stronger through the continued support of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. He also highlighted the pivotal role of the Saudi-Bahraini Coordination Council, co-chaired by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Bahrain, and His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia. The Council, he noted, has become instrumental in advancing strategic partnerships and expanding bilateral cooperation to meet the aspirations of both countries and their citizens. During the meeting, both sides reviewed the latest updates on joint initiatives and key recommendations outlined in the committee's work plan.

Naba Alsaha and Strataphy Partner to Launch One of Saudi Arabia's First Geothermal-Cooled Hospitals

In a pioneering step for sustainable healthcare infrastructure, Naba Alsaha Hospital, a leading Saudi healthcare group, has partnered with clean cooling innovator Strataphy to deploy advanced, subsurface-powered cooling systems for its new hospital complex in Riyadh, currently under construction. 'This project highlights how geothermal technology can meet the strict reliability and operational demands of the healthcare sector,' said Ahmed Alhani, COO of Strataphy. 'Hospitals require uninterrupted cooling performance around the clock. With our CAS model and subsurface technology, we're able to deliver that performance while significantly reducing grid impact and carbon emissions.' Saudi Arabia has more than 2,300 healthcare facilities across the Kingdom. With each facility requiring on average 1.5 megawatts-thermal (MW-th) of cooling capacity, the national healthcare sector represents a total thermal demand of approximately 3.45 gigawatts-thermal (GW-th). This places immense strain on the power grid and creates a clear opportunity for cleaner, more efficient solutions. At the heart of the system is Strataphy's PrimeLoop—a patent-pending geothermal hybrid architecture that uses subsurface temperatures to deliver continuous and efficient building cooling. Unlike traditional HVAC systems, which rely on electricity-intensive compressors and degrade in performance during high ambient temperatures, PrimeLoop operates silently and consistently, delivering a Coefficient of Performance (COP) over 5, more than double that of conventional methods. The solution is offered through Strataphy's Cooling as a Service (CAS) model—turning cooling from a costly CapEx decision into a monthly operating service. Strataphy handles design, drilling, installation, and long-term operations and maintenance, with clients only paying for actual cooling used. This removes technical and financial risk while improving ESG outcomes. 'As demand for high-performance medical infrastructure grows, we're proud to be among the first hospitals in the Kingdom to adopt this innovative, sustainable approach,' said Nayef Al-Jishi, Business Development Manager at Naba Alsaha Hospital. 'For us, it's about delivering long-term value to patients, operators, and the national grid. This partnership with Strataphy reinforces our commitment to future-ready, resilient, and environmentally aligned healthcare facilities.' 'This collaboration reflects a broader transformation underway across the Kingdom,' concluded Ammar Alali, CEO of Strataphy. 'The healthcare sector—with its 24/7 operational needs—is ideally suited to lead the geothermal cooling transition. We're proud to help power that shift and demonstrate how clean infrastructure can meet both performance and sustainability goals.'
