This year marks the fifth year of the prestigious Arabia CSR Awards. Since 2008, the Awards program – held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum and supported by the UN Global Compact – has been working towards raising the bar of CSR and sustainability in the Arab world. This is done through a rigorous self-assessment and review process that applying organizations have to go through with the help of the Arabia CSR Network and a panel of expert judges.

The Awards Forum and Ceremony, which will be held in Dubai, UAE on 24^th October 2012 will be a grand event that will invite a number of sustainability experts to speak on issues related to the Arab region. The theme of the event – “Embracing Sustainability in Times of Instability” – will also be attended by the companies applying to win the esteemed Arabia CSR Award.

Some of the speakers include Dr. Jamshed Jiji Irani K.B.E., Fng. Promoter of Tata Steel Limited, Dr. Mark Boutros Ghali, Global Lead Corporate Responsibility, Kreab Gavin Anderson Worldwide, Lord Michael Hastings, Global Head of Citizenship and Diversity, KPMG and more.
