Corporate governance forum set

RazorView, under its new trademark Schema, will hold the first regional Corporate Governance and Responsibility Forum this month.

The forum, to be held at the Mövenpick Dead Sea Hotel from March 13 to 15, will bring together leading businessmen, stakeholders, family business owners and experts of corporate governance and responsibility from the Mena region and internationally to create a localised framework for corporate governance and responsibility that compliments the regional business environment and corporate culture.

Attendees and participants will be coming from Jordan, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Egypt and Lebanon, said an official spokesman.

Regional and local companies have become aware of the competitive benefits provided by corporate governance and responsibility and their implications on developing businesses, ensuring the sustainability of businesses and the positive impact it creates on the international markets.

The forum will be addressing the corporate demand and processes to bring into effect value generating corporate governance and responsibility corporate cultures.
'The need to hold such a forum has become a necessity and well overdue in order to evolve the region's implementation of corporate governance and responsibility and align the regions business practices with international standards in a manner that is both applicable and effective in the MENA region,' said chairman of the organising committee Maali Qasem.

The idea of holding this forum has been very well acknowledged by many companies in the MENA region that believe in the necessity of implementing relevant corporate governance and responsibility concepts, and that is shown by the number of participating companies and organisations.

The forum is sponsored by Investment Dar, Agility Logistics, Hikma Pharmaceuticals, and the Arab African International BankTradeArabia News Service
