Forum for Corporate Sustainability Management ("CSM"),
International Institute for Management Development ("IMD"),
Lausanne, Switzerland
"DUBAL's involvement with CSM opens doors that give access
to a wide variety of international views on the issue of
sustainability. Through this door we get access to limitless
opportunities that can be applied to enhance our
organization."
Abdulla J M Kalban
President & CEO
Dubai Aluminum Company Limited
DUBAL participates annually in IMD's Forum for CSM. The forum,
which celebrated its 15th anniversary in 2010, draws together
representatives of corporations who are committed to building a
sustainable business advantage through social and environmental
strategic action. CSM companies include partners and business
associates of IMD, and DUBAL is one of 34 member
corporations.
Being a member enables DUBAL to benchmark our company's activities
with 'best practice' companies. As a member, we shares ideas,
problems and solutions with organisations outside the aluminium
industry. Additionally we send representatives to participate in
CSM's annual sustainability learning event, which is generally an
open, interactive forum. CSM also hosts biannual forums where
research progress is reported, sustainability expertise and
competitive strategies are explored and critiqued, and tools and
concepts are presented for integrating environment and social
criteria into management.
