Join Mr. Hady Agina as he moderates an in-depth discussion on the evolving landscape of sustainable procurement in MENA and the Gulf region. This session will explore how major International Financial Institutions, including the World Bank and key Islamic banks, are embedding sustainability into procurement policies, the rationale behind these shifts, and the tangible impact on regional projects and supply chains. Participants will gain insights into the measures IFIs are taking to promote responsible sourcing and the broader implications for governments, businesses, and sectors across the Gulf. Don’t miss this opportunity to understand the trends shaping procurement practices and how sustainability is becoming a central driver of investment and development.
