featuring case studies across Chalhoub Group, L’Oréal and the Arrigoni Group.

On 15th December 2022, the Tharawat Family Business Forum launched a first-of-its-
kind report to address the realities of climate change and environmental sustainability in

the MENA and explore the role family-owned companies will play in building a more
sustainable future. The report “Climate Change and Family Business: Action for a
Sustainable Future in the MENA” was developed with the support of the AW Rostamani
Group, knowledge partner the Global Compact Network UAE, and 12 contributing
experts and business leaders.

The report is a unique publication that explores urgent questions, such as ‘Are
businesses in the MENA aware of and taking action against climate change?’. It also
highlights the latest climate developments globally and regionally, outlines the role that
family firms play in mitigating climate risks and explores ways to implement

mechanisms that will drive corporate sustainability.

At the heart of this report are the three in-depth case studies on L’Oréal, the Chalhoub
Group and the Arrigoni Group, granting a deeper understanding of how these notable
organizations have envisioned and implemented their environmental strategies. In
