BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 6. bp and the
Azerbaijan Deaflympic Committee (ADC) today signed a Domestic
Partner Agreement, appointing bp as an official partner of the ADC
in Azerbaijan until 31 December 2027, Trend reports via the company.
The agreement marks a new chapter in bp’s long-standing
commitment to supporting the development of national sports and
fostering a more inclusive society in Azerbaijan.
The document was signed in Baku by Anar Bayramov, President of
the Management Board of the Azerbaijan Deaflympic Committee, and
Bakhtiyar Aslanbayli, bp’s vice president for the Caspian
region.
"Protecting the rights of persons with disabilities and
providing comprehensive social support to this category of
individuals in our country is one of the priority directions of the
ongoing state policy. Supporting the Deaflympic movement is part of
these efforts. The Deaflympic movement is not only about engaging
people with hearing impairments in sports. It is the promotion of
social integration, equal opportunities, and human dignity, the
restoration of self confidence among people with hearing
impairments, and the improvement of their quality of life.
Strengthening an inclusive approach in the country requires not
only the involvement of state institutions but also the active
participation of civil society organizations. And today, the
cooperation established with bp — a company widely recognized for
its work in the field of corporate social responsibility — once
again demonstrates that when the state, civil society, and the
private sector come together, social change brings tangible
results," Anar Bayramov, President of the Management Board of the
Azerbaijan Deaflympic Committee said.
"We are pleased to become an official partner of the ADC. This
builds on our decades-long partnership with Azerbaijan’s National
Olympic and Paralympic Committees, through which we have supported
both organizations in developing national sports, teams and
athletes. This new partnership carries an even broader social
mission: alongside promoting sports, it focuses on fostering an
inclusive society by creating opportunities to develop deaf sports
and empower athletes with hearing impairments. By signing this
agreement today, we reaffirm our commitment to supporting the
country in creating equal opportunities for all individuals and
communities. We look forward to working closely with the ADC as
their official partner to help advance their important mission in
the years ahead,” Bakhtiyar Aslanbayli, bp’s vice president for the
Caspian region, added.
