Global Islamic Economy Summit 25-26 November in Dubai

-
The Islamic economy is emerging as a new paradigm that will be driving growth over the coming decade. The Global Islamic Economy Summit 2013 is the first event to bring together world-class experts in critical industry sectors that span geographic regions and cultural boundaries to directly address the greatest challenges and opportunities in this new economy. 

 One of the featured topics is:

Investment Opportunities 
The importance of maintaining the integrity of the Halal supply chain, from the farm to the fork, has 
become an increasingly relevant issue. The development of Halal logistics, with the creation of Halal 
distribution hubs and port-to-port protocols by several port authorities, has created a new option within

By developing an integrated halal supply chain, the start is the right intention. Halal needs commitment from the top management through a halal policy , which acts as basis for the organisation of the supply chain. There should be a strategic fit between the corporate strategy and the halal policy.

Building a strong halal reputation is essential for fostering positive sentiments toward the organisation and its brands at various levels, ensuring sustainability and market presence. Beyond the direct impact on sales, a solid halal reputation attracts top-tier talent and garners positive social media coverage. This corporate standing should be considered a vital component of market capitalisation, coining the term “halal reputation capital,” which proves to be invaluable for companies, ranging from millions for local enterprises to billions for multinational corporations.
