Al Nahyan expressed his gratitude to the organising team of ICAI for hosting the event in Abu Dhabi at a time when the country is increasingly focusing on sustainability.
“The UAE has designated the year 2023 as the year of sustainability. While doing so, we must consider the environment, society, economy, and regulations. How can we fully account for the future cost of today’s economic efforts? How to make better trade-offs among economic, societal and environmental factors to support sustainability? Your profession is central to answering these questions,” he said.
