From awareness to implementation
Over a decade, the forum's focus has moved with the market. Early editions made the case for CSR. Recent ones are about delivery, reflecting new reporting requirements such as the Financial Regulatory Authority's ESG disclosure rules (see our guide to ESG reporting in Egypt).
The 16th edition in El Alamein made this explicit with the theme From Vision to Implementation and two days of workshops on ESG reporting, carbon management, green buildings, sustainability-linked loans and sustainability assurance. Read the highlights.
Take part in the 17th edition
The 17th edition is planned for 2027. Companies interested in speaking, sponsoring or partnering can request a meeting.
