Keel Comms joins UN Global Compact

The PR agency is the first from the Gulf to become a UNGC participant

Keel Comms has announced it will join the UN Global Compact. 

The UNGC is a voluntary leadership platform for the development, implementation and disclosure of responsible business practices. 

It calls companies to align their operations and strategies with ten universal principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption to take action in support of UN goals and issues represented in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

Baha Hamadi, Founder & Managing Director of Keel Comms, said: “Consistent with the principles of the United Nations Global Compact, we are committed to contribute to responsible business practices.

“Our UNGC participation aligns with the UAE’s vision for sustainability, as evident in the ongoing Year of Sustainability.

“This move further equips us for the essential role we aspire to fulfill in empowering brands, not just in anticipation of COP28 but also within the larger framework of advancing sustainable development. Our goal is to serve as catalysts for positive change locally and globally.”

Baha Hamadi is a board Member of the Public Relations & Communications Association (PRCA MENA) and a member of the World Economic Forum’s community of ESG practitioners. 

He also serves as a mentor for the Dubai Chamber of Commerce’s Centre for responsible business, helping promote CSR and guide organisations to adopt sustainable business practices.

Keel’s focus is to serve government bodies, enterprises, SMEs, startups, public figures and influencers whose work is rooted in purpose.

Whether at the inception, early or maturity phase, the company advises clients on how to incorporate  ESG factors into their operations and branding, so it can then help them communicate their efforts genuinely.

In light of the growing ESG movement globally, Keel aims to help brands and individuals play an active role during the ‘Decade of Action’ and contribute to the achievement of the SDGs by 2030.
