Foulath Achieves ISO 22301:2019 Certification for Excellence in Business Continuity Management
Foulath Holding Group, the investment company dedicated to the sustainable development and growth of the regional steel industry, has secured the ISO 22301:2019 certification, an internationally recognised standard for excellence in business continuity management. The certification follows a rigorous audit conducted by Det Norske Veritas (DNV), the global leader in assessment, classification, and international accreditation services. This achievement underscores Foulath's commitment to strengthening business resilience and ensuring a swift and efficient response to risks, challenges, and unforeseen disruptions, thereby safeguarding operational continuity and service sustainability. The certification was secured within just two years of implementing the Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) and adhering to international best practices—an impressive milestone that adds to Foulath's distinguished record of achievements. ISO 22301:2019 is a globally recognised standard that provides organisations with a strategic framework to assess potential risks, implement measures to mitigate their impact, and ensure the continuity of critical operations and services during unexpected events. The certification, accredited under UKAS , was granted following an independent and thorough evaluation by DNV as a third-party certification body, covering multiple operational aspects, including process readiness, capabilities, and technological infrastructure. Commenting on this milestone, Dilip George, Group Chief Executive Officer of Foulath Holding Group, stated: ' Dilip George, Group Chief Executive Officer of Foulath Holding Group, commented: 'We are extremely proud to have achieved the ISO 22301:2019 certification, which reflects our commitment to ensuring the continuity of our operations in the face of unforeseen disruptions. This certification demonstrates our proactive approach to safeguarding critical business functions, maintaining resilience, and ensuring we can quickly adapt to challenges. By integrating global best practices through our Business Continuity Management System, we reinforce Foulath's commitment to long-term sustainability and operational resilience, solidifying our position as a reliable and trusted supplier of iron and steel products regionally.'
This accomplishment marks the first time that Foulath has received ISO certification at the group level. Previously, both Bahrain Steel and SULB obtained various ISO certifications individually, and plans are underway for SULB Bahrain and SULB Saudi Arabia to secure ISO 22301:2019 accreditation by the end of the year.

New Kezad Business District to come up in Abu Dhabi
Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi - Kezad Group, one of the largest operators of integrated and purpose-built economic zones in the region, has announced the development of Kezad Business District (KBD), Abu Dhabi's newest business destination. Strategically located with frontage at the gateway of the E11 arterial corridor between the UAE capital and northern emirates, Kezad Business District is part of the wider 410 sq km-Kezad Al Ma'mourah master development. Initially planned over approximately 3 sq km, the area will be developed in phases with infrastructure works currently underway. New developments include a 21,000 sq m office tower, sporting facilities and food and beverage (F&B) retail facilities adjacent to the Kezad Group HQ building, Kezad One. Kezad Business District is located along the E11 inter-emirate highway between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and provides exceptional connectivity to all major logistics, industrial and business areas within short driving distance. Kezad Business District is planned as an integrated mixed use commercial hub that will enable close collaboration between academia, businesses and industry while having a thriving social pulse. The district is also advantageously located next to three landmark projects: the 70,000 sq m twofour54 media production campus; the 3.3 sq km Abu Dhabi Food Hub, and the 3.3 sq km Global Auto Hub – the latter two being developed by Kezad Group as part of a pioneering public-private investment. Abdullah Al Hameli, CEO, Economic Cities and Free Zones, AD Ports Group, said: 'The ambition and inventiveness that we have applied to developing and operating one of the world's most integrated, thriving and largest industrial ecosystems is the same one that we will employ to deliver a next-generation business district that will further elevate Abu Dhabi's proposition to global investors. The development of Kezad Business District continues Kezad Group's investment in Abu Dhabi's polycentric urban expansion, with Kezad Al Ma'mourah seen as a critical economic centre in the nation's future-forward growth strategies.' 'Aside from re-emphasising our commitment to provide our investors with end-to-end solutions to grow their businesses, Kezad Business District will offer development opportunities and catalyse new investments in the wider Kezad Al Ma'mourah masterplan. We are very proud and excited to attract new, frontier businesses and commercial activities that will propel our nation's economy into the future.' Kezad Business District is extraordinarily located at the confluence of major transport links with Khalifa Port being only 15 minutes away, Zayed International Airport being a 25-minute drive away, and linked to rest of UAE by the high-speed Etihad Rail and two major highways. With unparalleled proximity to Dubai, Kezad Business District is less than a 30-minute drive away from Jebel Ali Port and Dubai World Central - Al Maktoum International Airport. When completed, Kezad Business District will serve as an attractive site for investors to set up their regional headquarters, research and innovation centres, training facilities and other operations, and a compelling option complementing service providers, educational institutes, etc. Serving as a secondary business district comprising a commercial hub with a vibrant mix of office, retail, residential, lodging, education, professional training and leisure components, Kezad Business District aims to establish itself as a major commercial centre, and the heart of Kezad's advanced manufacturing and economic ecosystem.
