The growing impact of climate change, coupled with the critical shift toward a low-carbon economy, presents one of the most demanding challenges of our time. Addressing this transformation requires immediate action and collective effort to build a sustainable future for generations to come. Over the past year, we have worked relentlessly to guide clients on their sustainable journeys while also taking proactive steps within our own business and operations.
Each year, the United Nations Global Compact Network celebrates the extraordinary efforts of business leaders who drive transformative change by advancing the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and embodying the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact. These distinguished individuals, known as SDG Pioneers, play a pivotal role in inspiring action and demonstrating the profound impact of business in creating a sustainable future for all.
In 2024, twelve SDG Pioneers who exemplify dedication, innovation, and leadership in advancing the SDGs were recognized. Corporate Responsibility & Sustainability Lead, Rybale Al Hage, was recognized globally as a 2024 SDG Pioneer, representing Deloitte Middle East on the global stage during the Leaders Summit in New York.
Through her role, Rybale is dedicated to embedding sustainability into every aspect of operations, fostering a culture of cooperation on sustainability, and engaging ecosystems to extend our impact beyond the organization.
We are committed to driving meaningful change through our Corporate Responsibility & Sustainability strategy, with ambitious goals of empowering 200,000 futures by 2030 and achieving our publicly validated net-zero commitments. This honour underscores our dedication to making a significant impact, striving to create a more sustainable and equitable world.
