The world is changing and we should take on the responsibility for finding answers to the most pressing ESG challenges of our time to foster a better future for generations to come, stated the Chairman of Aluminium Bahrain, Shaikh Daij bin Salman bin Daij Al Khalifa, at key forum in Germany.

 

Delivering a speech at the Gala dinner of the 26th Arab German Business Forum, on June 6 in Berlin, Shaikh Daij added: “A sustainable and decarbonised world is one of intersections – between the environment and societies, technology and innovation, collaboration and action. As we are facing similar challenges all around the world, I take the opportunity to call for action so we advance together to meet our national targets in order to achieve the right balance between our economic gains and social returns.”

 

The forum was held from June 5 to 7 at The Ritz-Carlton, Berlin,
