DUBAI, UAE, Oct. 16,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The global move toward
sustainability remains a key issue across industries, and leading
global assurance partner, LRQA, is leading the conversation with
its Sustainability Leadership Series.
The recent event in Dubai brought together stakeholders
from the Middle East to tackle
challenges and opportunities for advancing sustainability in the
region's industries. It provided a practical forum for industry
leaders, government officials and sustainability professionals to
discuss solutions.
Expert-led sessions featured speakers from renowned brands such
as Unilever, Landmark Group, Zakher Marine International and Euro
Mechanical, who tackled pressing topics like decarbonisation
strategies, the importance of sustainable supply chains and how
data and digital technology can drive measurable sustainability
outcomes.
Leanne Halliday, Head of Energy
and Renewables at LRQA, explained how LRQA's certification
expertise against international standards is supporting the growth
of new energy technologies by ensuring safety, reliability and
compliance.
A session on simulating cyber-attacks highlighted cybersecurity
as a vital aspect of comprehensive risk management, which
businesses must prioritise alongside traditional risks to protect
against the growing complexity of digital threats.
The team also took this opportunity to showcase EiQ – LRQA's
world-leading supply chain intelligence software – with a
demonstration of the platform which allows companies to monitor and
manage your supply chain ESG risks in real-time.
Saif Al-Obaidi, General
Manager - Middle East at LRQA,
highlighted the event's role in building client
relations: "This event not only addressed key
sustainability challenges but also strengthened our relationships
with clients. By fostering open dialogue and sharing insights, we
reinforced our commitment to supporting their sustainability
journeys and driving meaningful change together."
Furthermore, Luis Cunha,
Managing Director - Assessment at LRQA, also emphasized the
importance of LRQA's expanding role in the region. In his
keynote address, Cunha remarked: "This year's
Sustainability Leadership Series has reaffirmed our dedication to
support the Middle East as it
increasingly embraces the global sustainability agenda. At LRQA, we
are not only helping businesses comply with standards but also
empowering them to innovate and lead in sustainable practices. Our
goal is to continue growing our footprint in the Middle East, collaborating with
forward-thinking companies to drive meaningful change."
LRQA hopes the actionable strategies shared during the event
leave a lasting impact on the region's sustainability journey. As
businesses in the Middle East
continue their shift toward greener economies, LRQA's tailored
assessment and certification services will play an increasingly
critical role in driving ESG agendas forward.

ongoing commitment to fostering innovation and positioning itself
as a catalyst for positive change in the region's sustainability
efforts.
