Edition summaries

2024Alwadi Hotel, Msheireb Downtown Doha + UDSTChaired by Sheikha Amal Al Thani, in collaboration with RoSPA (UK), under the patronage of H.E. Sheikh Dr. Faleh bin Naser Al Thani, former Minister of Environment. Sponsors: Qatar Free Zones Authority (strategic), UDST (gold), Aamal Company, Ashghal (Public Works Authority), and TechnoQ (silver). Day 1 at Al Wadi Hotel (Msheireb), Day 2 at UDST. More than 250 experts and decision-makers from Qatar and the United Kingdom attended, and the edition closed by launching the "Doha Recommendations for beginning ESG implementation", which became a roadmap for institutions across the region. It was a strong launch for spreading ESG concepts across Qatar and among Qatari companies, many of which have since moved closer to publishing annual reports on their environmental, social and governance performance in line with government laws and regulations.
2025Qatar Chamber, DohaChaired by Sheikh Thani bin Ali Al Thani, hosted at Qatar Chamber in partnership with ISEP (Manchester). Sponsors included Dukhan Bank, Doha Bank, Aamal Company and Ashghal. Building on the first edition, it marked the move from a phase of awareness and experimentation to one of advanced implementation and compliance. Day 2 workshops were delivered by specialists from Spain, with certificates awarded to participants.
