Al-Dabbagh Group and all its activities are governed by the Omnipreneurship ecosystem constructed upon the three Principles of Giving, Earning and Sustaining. Omnipreneurship is an entrepreneurial approach for every aspect of life, and it guides the approach to sustainability across the group.
The Omnipreneurship vision of Al-Dabbagh Group’s current Chairman and CEO, His Excellency Amr Al-Dabbagh:
“We will achieve our nature-positive vision through our philosophy of Omnipreneurship, with its principles of giving, earning and sustaining. People sometimes challenge us over what forms giving, earning, and sustaining should take, given we are a for-profit group. We grow and distribute food, operate discount stores, manufacture packaging, offer automotive services, and much more. Some might ask whether we can strike the right balance of giving, earning, and sustaining.
Every company in the group’s portfolio is focused on growing, while promoting a sustainable future and earning enough to invest in our philanthropic efforts. Each business is very conscious of the short- and long-term impacts of the choices they make. We constantly ask if our actions are making a better world. We humbly suggest that they are.”
