Aramex Sustainability Report 2006
A letter from the Founder and CEO
Sustainability fits. It fits with our goal of creating long‐term value for our investors by
being the company of choice for all of our key stakeholders. It fits with our corporate
culture, which has always focused on entrepreneurship and innovation,
opportunities for growth and development, diversity across our global network and
respect for others. It fits with our aim of finding the most efficient ways of meeting
our customers’ growing needs. It fits with our role of facilitating responsible
economic commerce and development. It fits with our understanding of our role in
society and the history of actions which faithfully reflect it. And it fits with our
growing recognition of the need to aggressively and urgently work to eliminate any
harmful environmental impacts.
Most excitingly, applying a sustainability lens to our view of the world has helped us to illuminate tremendous
business opportunities, as well as expanded responsibilities. Our role as a global company is to look deeply and
responsibly at the impact of our business on our stakeholders and the world at large.
We also ask you to temporarily suspend judgment and take a look at our ambitious plans for achieving these goals,
as outlined in this report. We have a 25‐year history of surprising our stakeholders in positive ways. And I personally
believe that aiming for sustainability is the most important undertaking ever pursued by our company.
In closing, let me reiterate: Sustainability will transform the way we think about our business. It will lead to new
types of services, new levels of understanding, new ways of collaboration, renewed respect for our place in the
world, and a profound commitment to ecological preservation through sustainability innovation, all of which will
benefit shareholders and stakeholders alike.
