Vodafone Qatar, in collaboration with its knowledge partner Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar (CMU-Q), brought together peers and experts in corporate social responsibility and sustainability to debate the critical role of a well-defined corporate purpose and solid business ethics in creating sustainable change.

The experts were brought together under the umbrella of Vodafone's CSR Majlis. CMU-Q’s Alexander R Wilcox Cheek, assistant teaching professor of information systems, and David Emmanuel Gray, assistant teaching professor of philosophy, spearheaded the roundtable discussion.

The CSR Majlis programme provides an open platform for knowledge-sharing between peers in both the public and private sectors of Qatar. Vodafone holds CSR Majlis with different themes on a regular basis to connect leaders in the field.

Dana Haidan, head of corporate social responsibility and sustainability at Vodafone Qatar and an alumna of CMU-Q, said: "It is crucial that we have an open dialogue about business ethics as corporate entities in Qatar. Exchanging best practices helps with reflecting these principles onto our daily business conduct to ensure that the organization is meeting its duties towards the society in which it operates while doing business responsibly."
