CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

Chairmans Message

Bustan Khaleeji has been founded on the basic principles of integrity, accountability and transparency. Corporate governance is a way of life for us rather than a check mark on the compliance box. It not only forms an integral part of our core values but the ethical approach is deeply ingrained in our culture as an organisational paradigm.We believe in partnership and alignment of business strategy with objectives of delivering the overall stakeholder value. A fundamental objective in this regard is maintaining a balance between the interests of employees and other stakeholders, while cultivating our organisation’s entrepreneurial drive. We have experienced the increased stakeholder engagement at all levels that has been generated by our strong internal controls.

Our complete coverage of the entire retail universe helps us manage risk effectively by teaming our strategies of decentralised business models and geographic diversification. We manage the challenge of robust governance in an ever-changing environment by adhering to the tenets of responsibility, accountability, fairness and transparency.

We are entrepreneurial, adaptable, competitive and are continually guided by our philosophy that is driving performance along with accountability.
