00:00Today, we are happy to be part of this beautiful event arranged by Gulf News, and we as Moz

00:14are sharing the same values.

00:15We represent a historical brand with 166-year-old of history, and we are absolutely sustainable

00:22lead-free glass producers from Czech Republic.

00:26We share the same values of the whole establishment of empowering women and taking care of them.

00:32We create in the special line of the products, and we realize that our main consumers are

00:38women.

00:39Vergio is proud to associate itself with the Mirati Women's Day, reflecting on our core

00:52values of sustainability and empowerment.

00:56As we are focusing on reducing fashion industry waste and reducing our carbon footprint by

01:01using eco-friendly material and transparent processes, being a part of this event actually

01:06drives forward our commitment towards positive social and environmental impact.

01:11Like today we celebrate women's empowerment, we celebrate women's achievement, Vergio also

01:17wants to continue fostering this inclusivity and the idea of sustainability and empowerment

01:22in all facets of our business.

01:27So here at HSBC, I'd say we're really passionate about supporting Emiratis and Emirati women,

01:34hence why we're here.

01:35We were actually the first bank in the UAE and in the region, and we've supported the

01:39UAE banking business for over 75 plus years, and we're here 75 years later to kind of continue

01:46and leverage on our history and our heritage, whether that be professionally or personally.

01:50So whether that be supporting Emirati women when they go and study abroad for university,

01:55whether it be for their first account when it comes to, you know, working and being an

02:01employee, or whether that be kind of going on holiday with their families, we have the

02:05solution for them.

02:06And we're really excited to be here today to support Emirati Women's Day.

02:10As sponsors of this event, Emiratia, which is hosted by Gulf News and BNC, it's a great

02:17honour and privilege for us to be part of this entire sort of setup.

02:21You know, women, and Emirati women in particular, have played a monumental role in the development

02:27of our brand.

02:29We work a lot with private offices, as well as with individuals in sort of shaping and

02:35bringing jewellery to the forefront, and we're happy that we can be part of this event and

02:40bring all of it together.

02:42As an organisation, it is an integral part of our strategy and the Free Zones Authority

02:47to support the women in general and empowering the Emirati women throughout their journey.

02:54As an organisation, women play an integral role in developing our strategical growth.

03:02Women comprise of about 52% of our organisation workforce, and our continuous collaboration

03:08with Gulf News and BNC in empowering and fostering and developing the women landscape in the

03:13United Arab Emirates is an integral part of our commitment to developing the women

03:19entrepreneurship, the Emirati women, and integrating more in the business landscape, and developing

03:26and contributing to the growth of the United Arab Emirates.

03:30We at BNC and Gulf News celebrated Emirati Women's Day, along with top women leaders

03:36coming and talking at the forum.

03:38We believe that every woman should get an opportunity to live her passion and dream,

03:44and every woman must become financially independent.

03:53So, it helped me to be an international president, where I know that I belong to a whole community

04:01of different nationalities.

04:03And you can imagine, in 2003, I was enrolled in something called Leadership Programme of

04:09Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, where they selected 120 candidates from Dubai governments, and

04:17they would filter them for 30, and those 30 would be eligible.

04:22Thank you very much for inviting me here today, and it's my privilege to be here among you.

04:43Emirati women are scientists, are entrepreneurs, artists, engineers, doctors, and so much more.

04:53We are making significant contribution in every sector, proving that there are no limits

05:00to what we can achieve together.

05:02Limitless possibilities that lie ahead.

05:06Today, we honour the women who have shaped our past, those who are defining our present,

05:13and those who will build our future.

05:16Emirati women have always been a vital force in our society, embodying resilience, intelligence,

05:24and creativity.
