In alignment with the directives of His Excellency President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, the Egyptian government is actively pursuing sustainable development across all sectors as part of Egypt’s Vision 2030 as well as in a world swept by economic, social, and environmental transformations, sustainability is no longer a secondary option, but rather a strategic necessity to ensure business continuity and enhance the competitiveness of the national and regional economy. Over the past years, the business community in Egypt has proven itself a true partner in the development process, supporting the state’s efforts to address challenges and contributing to formulating practical solutions that achieve a balance between economic growth and social and environmental impact.
In this spirit, the 16th CSR & Sustainability Forum: From Vision to Implementation, held under the theme “The Right Place to Ask the Right Questions… Ask and Act,” serves as a leading national and regional platform bringing together business leaders, investors, experts, decision-makers, civil society representatives, and international institutions to discuss the most important issues, opportunities, and challenges facing the business community on its journey toward green transformation and sustainable development.
The 16th edition of the forum goes beyond presenting theoretical insights and discussions. Rather, it seeks to provide participants with a Sustainability Toolbox of inspiring tools, policies, and experiences that will help them transform fundamental questions into practical answers, and the answers into actionable plans within their organizations.
Over three days, the forum will discuss ten key themes covering governance and policies, green finance, the circular economy, innovation and technology, supply chains and international trade, education and capacity building, risk management and future opportunities, and other issues of concern to the business community in Egypt and the Arab region. A series of interactive workshops will also be held, giving participants the opportunity to experiment with practical tools and formulate innovative solutions that support their competitiveness in the markets.
This forum represents an open invitation to the business community to be a pivotal player in shaping a sustainable future for Egypt and the region, proving that the private sector is not merely a beneficiary of development, but rather a key driver of it. We believe that sustainability is a gateway for companies to broader markets, greater investment opportunities, and more stable growth.
In the right place for the right question, companies will find the answers they are looking for, and will leave the forum with clear plans and practical steps that enable them to ask and act, so that the vision turns into a tangible impact that supports business competitiveness and serves the future of coming generations.
