Climate Change and Family Business Report: Action for a Sustainable Future in the MENA
With climate change at the top of the world’s agenda, the Tharawat Family Business Forum was delighted to host the virtual global launch of the “Climate Change and Family Business” report, developed in collaboration with AW Rostamani Group and our knowledge partner the Global Compact Network UAE.
The report addresses the realities of climate change and environmental challenges in the MENA and explores the role family-owned companies play in shaping a more sustainable future. Our vision is to initiate a long-term dialogue on environmental responsibilities and climate change as a business risk and opportunity for privately-owned companies.
