Dubai Restaurant Operators - Embed Sustainability In Business

When Omar Shihab came to me with his plan for this piece, I knew it was going to make some noise. Here was someone who'd spent years pushing Dubai’s restaurant industry to take sustainability seriously, championing local produce and helping BOCA earn a Michelin Green Star, saying it was time to rethink it all... Talk about a head turner. Omar could talk about this all day, and I felt privileged that he trusted me to help bring it to Caterer Middle East. It’s also exactly why I came back to Caterer: to be involved in journalism that moves the conversation on and gets people talking about important issues in our industry. How do we make sustainability part of the way businesses are built and run, rather than a buzzword or another box to tick? How does it become part of everyday commercial decisions? There’s plenty more to explore here. I’ll be working on more pieces around this, and will be reaching out to everyone in the industry with something to say on the subject - and hearing more from Omar, no doubt.
