The Chamber was represented at the forum by Ali Bu Sherbak Al Mansouri, who delivered a speech entitled “The Role of Influencers in Promoting the Principles and Values of Social Responsibility.”
Addressing the forum, Al Mansouri stated that social responsibility has become a fundamental pillar of sustainable development and an essential element in building a strong economy and a cohesive society. He highlighted Qatar’s leading achievements in this field, in line with Qatar National Vision 2030, which laid the foundations for sustainable development across its economic, social, and environmental dimensions.
He explained that Qatar has adopted numerous advanced policies and legislations that have strengthened the role of both the public and private sectors in serving society, supporting sustainability initiatives, environmental protection, and human capital development.
He further noted that Qatar has emerged regionally and internationally as a key supporter of humanitarian and development efforts, enabling education and healthcare, promoting innovation and environmental responsibility, and encouraging companies to adopt governance, social responsibility, and transparency standards.
Al Mansouri also stressed Qatar Chamber’s keenness to promote a culture of social responsibility within the private sector and to encourage companies to adopt responsible practices that contribute equally to economic, social, and environmental development.
He further emphasised the importance of influencers as active partners in raising awareness and reinforcing the principles and values of social responsibility. He affirmed that influencers today possess powerful communication tools and a strong ability to reach diverse segments of society, which places a moral and social responsibility on them to channel their influence toward issues that serve the public interest, such as sustainability, volunteerism, environmental protection, and support for humanitarian and development initiatives.
He praised naming the edition after H.E. Sheikha Hessa bint Khalifa bin Ahmed Al Thani, highlighting her significant contributions to humanitarian work and her prominent role in promoting the culture of social responsibility. He noted that, may God have mercy on her, she was a symbol and a beacon of humanitarian and social giving.
