Sustainable Business - Made in Sharjah -

October 12&13, 2010

Conference - Workshops - Networking - Project Tours

Continuing business as usual in the face of global climate change and population growth is not an option. Business must have a constructive partnership with government and civil society because investment in technology changes often is beyond the capacity of a single company or even a single country. This initiative from Sharjah Chamber of Commcerce & Industry supports the vision of H.H. Sheikh Dr. Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council of the UAE and Ruler of Sharjah, who advocates the widespread adoption of sustainable business practices. A sustainable approach to work advances Sharjah's aim of developing a creative, competitive, and highly productive workforce, which aligns with the competitiveness goals of the UAE.‘Nowadays, sustainable practices are one of the most important strategies to address environmental and economic challenges. Sharjah Chamber of Commcerce & Industry is thus committed to organizing events and launching initiatives which promote awareness on this concept, and encourage the private sector to implement sustainability on a large scale in Sharjah in cooperation with the public.This significant event brings together prominent companies who have agreed to collaborate closely on the adoption of sustainability principles in their corporate systems. Sharjah Chamber of Commcerce & Industry hope that this initiative will motivate the wider private sector to identify and implement sustainable policies alongside Sharjah's key economic sectors.
