without opportunities. This report explores the way forward for family-owned
companies and outlines a clear path toward a more sustainable future.”

Dr. Amina Al Rostamani, Board Member of AW Rostamani Group, said: “In
2016, the MENA region was declared one of the world’s most vulnerable to

rising sea levels. At the same time, though the MENA region is home to 6.3%
of the global population, only 1.4% have access to renewable freshwater.
Saving water and energy and eliminating single-use plastic while recycling

and reducing electronic waste are just some of the environmental initiatives
being employed at the AW Rostamani Group to confront such issues. With

resources to help support family businesses identify environmental solutions
to benefit them, their employees, their communities and the planet, this report
represents a critical piece of the climate change puzzle.”

Eng. Waleed Salman, Chairman, Global Compact Network UAE, hosted by

the World Green Economy Organization, said: “Ahead of Net-Zero Initiatives
launched in several countries regionally and in the lead up to COP 28, climate
ambition is key to engaging with the private sector to support the climate

agenda regionally and globally, representing a fantastic opportunity for our
participating organizations to become regional and international leaders at the

forefront of the climate movement. I invite all organizations, regardless of their
level of engagement with climate action, to take steps towards
decarbonization.”
