The Corporate Governance Responsibility Forum 2007 is a gathering of the business community of the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region to create a framework for corporate governance and responsibility. During the Forum's three days, leading businessmen, stakeholders and experts in corporate governance and responsibility from Jordan, Qatar, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Egypt and Lebanon will discuss the concepts, define the role and develop regional frameworks and models for corporate governance and responsibility. Sd3 Director, Jason Perks has been working with the Forum's organisers, 'Schema' in developing the sessions and will address and facilitate sessions on sustainable development, stakeholder engagement and corporate assessment techniques.

Maali Qasem, Chair of the MENA Corporate Governance and Responsibility Forum 2007 Organising Committee stated, "This Forum aims to benefit all businesses that operate in the MENA region irrespective of size or sector. Furthermore, this Forum is focused on creating the necessary corporate culture behind effective implementation of corporate governance and responsibility because with the necessary corporate culture, businesses can substantially gain from these principles and are likely to inherently be in compliance with regulatory frameworks current and future."

The Forum will be held at the Movenpick Dead Sea Resort & Spa near Amman, Jordan on March 13-15 2007.
