Meet on social responsibility
Manama : Bahrain International Conference on Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development 2016 concluded its activities here yesterday.
The conference was patronised by Energy Minister Dr. Abdulhussain Mirza and organised by Bahrain Society for Social Responsibility in cooperation with National Gas and Oil Authority.
Fourteen speakers from Bahrain, Gulf States and New Zealand addressed the conference. About 14 papers were presented to reach three recommendations. This includes that for the establishment of a portfolio funded by the private sector and managed by an independent national commission to contribute in developing sustainable development projects and the establishment of a coordinating committee or a shareholding company to address unemployment, job creation and rehabilitation of the unemployed.
Another recommendation was the enactment of a law to bind the private sector to deduct a percentage of the profits to support sustainable development programmes, which are managed by an independent committee.
