Sustainability & Business Leadership: A Conversation with Fadi Ghandour

Moderator – Abu Dhabi Sustainability Group | Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (2017)

As part of my tenure with the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi, I had the privilege of moderating a pivotal discussion with Fadi Ghandour, founder of Aramex, on sustainability in business and institutional transformation. This session, hosted by the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Group, explored how sustainability can be embedded into corporate strategy, moving beyond compliance into a fundamental business philosophy.

Guiding the conversation, I facilitated insights on:

• Corporate Responsibility & Sustainability – How Aramex integrated environmental and social goals into its business model.

• Institutional Change – Strategies for embedding sustainability within large organizations and fostering long-term commitment.

• Innovative Leadership – Lessons from one of the region’s most influential business figures, offering actionable insights for sustainability-driven transformation.

This discussion reinforced the power of strategic dialogue in shaping the future of sustainability, connecting visionary leadership with practical solutions to create meaningful, long-term impact. As a moderator and cultural strategist, I continue to foster conversations that bridge business, sustainability, and cultural progress, ensuring that ideas translate into action.
