Sustainable Business
- Made in Sharjah October 12&13, 2010
Conference - Workshops - Networking - Project Tours
Foreword of the General Manager
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.
