Value Proposition

In 2010, prominent Gulf Region business leaders founded the Pearl Initiative, a non-profit dedicated to advancing corporate governance, accountability, and transparency in the private sector. The organization believes that embracing these high standards sparks innovation, unlocks opportunities, and drives value creation, making it smart business for individual companies and a catalyst for regional competitiveness, investment, job creation, and sustainable economic growth.

Pearl Initiative actively engages businesses and student communities to highlight the business case for adopting top-tier governance standards. Through targeted programs, regional research reports, and case studies, it fosters greater understanding of the priorities, trends, and benefits of enhanced corporate governance, accountability, and transparency across the Gulf Region.
