The Qatar Chamber has announced the date for the Third Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Qatar Conference, set to take place on October 6 and 7 at The Ritz-Carlton Doha. Organized by Hawkama International, the conference aims to bolster corporate sustainability, social responsibility, and robust governance frameworks. These elements are seen as essential foundations for constructing a resilient and sustainable economy.

Acting General Manager of Qatar Chamber, Ali Bu Sherbak Al Mansori, highlighted at the press conference that ESG issues have become crucial pillars for corporate competitiveness, investment readiness, risk management, and long-term sustainability. He pointed out that as global standards continue to evolve, a company's ability to incorporate ESG principles into their strategies and operations is becoming increasingly important for growth, attracting investment, building trust, and maintaining competitiveness in rapidly changing markets.

For Al Mansori, the conference represents a vital platform to deepen discussions among business leaders, policy experts, and key stakeholders. The event offers an excellent opportunity to raise awareness about modern governance and corporate responsibility among the private sector, thereby contributing directly to enhancing Qatar's overall business environment.
