![]() Turkiye quake survivors’ latest menace — dust The excavator tore into the remnants of the damaged building in southeast Turkiye, bringing it crashing down into a cloud of dust — the latest menace facing survivors of the deadly February quake that ravaged the region. Extending to the horizon, a cocoon of fine grey dust envelops the city of Samandag in the south of Hatay province, devastated by the February 6 earthquake that killed more than 55,000 people and laid waste to parts of Turkiye and Syria. “We survived the earthquake but this dust will kill us,” Michel Atik, founder and president of the Samandag Environmental Protection Association, said with a sigh. “We are going to die of respiratory diseases and lung cancer with all these hazardous materials.” Five months after the quake, the scale of cleanup and reconstruction is enormous, with the government estimating that nearly 2.6 million buildings have been destroyed. According to the UN Environment Programme, some 210 million tons of rubble must be disposed of. By comparison, some 1.8 million tons of rubble had to be hauled away after the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York City that brought down the World Trade Center skyscrapers. Environmental activists and local residents worry that in the rush to clean up and rebuild, crucial safety measures are being ignored, with potentially adverse effects on the health of local residents, the environment and the economy. The landfill near Samandag is one of several that have been set up in this province bordering Syria. It lies next to the Mediterranean and the Milleyha natural bird reserve, which is natural bird reserve, which is a nesting site for endangered green sea turtles. Another landfill, in the Antakya region, lies near a valley of olive trees at the foot of the Nur Mountains. With olive oil the primary source of income in the province, there are fears that the dump could harm the trees. “They don’t even hose it down,” said Cagdas Can, 33, an environmental activist with the Reconstruct group, as he watched trucks filled with debris leave Samandag toward the huge open-air landfill that lies next to one of Turkiye’s longest beaches. “There were other possible sites... But the companies that won the tenders (for clearing) chose here to save fuel,” said Can. “All they care about it recovering the iron and the metal,” he said. “Nobody wears a mask. The demolition sites are not covered or hosed down and neither are the holds of the trucks, as required by law,” he said. Can said that his environmental organization had tried to stop the trucks by forming human chains, “but the police intervened. Eighteen people were arrested and I had my collarbone broken,” he said. The exhausted local population, faced with a myriad of problems after the quake, has not mobilized, he said, but they are as worried as the conservationists about the impact of the cleanup. “The children are the first to be affected, they cough a lot, so do we. As soon as it’s windy, everything is covered in dust,” said Mithat Hoca, 64, who sells vegetables at a stall in central Samandag. “We have to cover everything,” said Mehmet Yazici, a 61-year-old retiree who passed by on a scooter. “We wipe the table 15 to 20 times a day. You have to do it every half hour.” Ali Kanatli, a doctor in Antakya, some 26 kilometers (16 miles) away from Samandag, has already seen cases of “conjunctivitis, allergies, asthma, bronchitis.” But above all, he worries about the long-term effects, like an increase in cancers, that the hazardous materials in the rubble and dust could cause in the region.

The Kingdom’s biggest lender by assets made a net profit of 5 billion riyals ($1.33 billion) in the second quarter, beating a mean analysts’ estimate of 4.9 billion riyals according to Refinitiv data. “Growth in net income attributable to equity holders of the Bank...(was) driven by higher operating income along with lower operating expenses, including net impairment charge for expected credit losses,” a company statement to the Saudi stock exchange said.

![]() Nasdaq- listed Heidrick & Struggles is a premier provider of global leadership advisory and on-demand talent solutions, serving the senior-level talent and consulting needs of the world's top organizations.
According to the report, 50 new board appointments were made in 2022, a slight dip from 53 in 2021. Overall, there is a growing preference for members with previous board experience with the number of first-time board members dropping from 43 percent in 2021 to 36 percent in 2022. Meanwhile, CEOs continue to dominate boards in the Kingdom with almost half (48 percent) of the new board members in 2022 having prior CEO experience. In comparison, former or active Chief Human Resources Officers, Chief Financial Officers, and Chief Operating Officers contributed to 4 percent of the appointments each; and Chief Information Officers, Chief Marketing Officers, and Chief Technology Officers each secured only 2 percent of the seats filled. While companies in the Kingdom have shown a preference for board members who are active in executive positions rather than retired appointees over the past two years, there was a notable decline in active board appointees last year, from 90 percent in 2021 to 72 percent in 2022. This points to a beginning trend of companies appointing directors who can dedicate more time to their board responsibilities. Alarabiya.net 27/7/2023

![]() “As Saudi Arabia is experiencing rapid diversification and growth, publicly listed companies require experienced and dedicated board members who are strategic, forward-looking, and can align with industry needs. It is also heartening to note that there is a trend towards diversification in board appointments with regard to nationality, gender, and cross-industry experience. Embracing different perspectives will be critical to set companies up for success, prevent groupthink, and ensure the organization is ready to scale not just within the region but also internationally,” said Maliha Jilani, partner in Heidrick & Struggles’ Dubai office and Social Impact Practice lead in the Middle East and North Africa region.

![]() “Even as boards continue the process of rapid professionalization, each company must evaluate its stage of maturity and strategic goals to shape its ideal board. Saudi companies must continue to review their boards’ performance regularly and avoid over boarding to ensure directors are able to dedicate the time and energy to be truly dialed into the business. Key to ensuring board effectiveness is putting in place a formal succession-planning process to ensure a steady supply of capable leaders — ready to take on new challenges as we work towards Vision 2030,” said Richard Guest, partner in charge of Heidrick & Struggles’ Middle East and North Africa based in the Dubai office and the regional managing partner of the global Technology & Services Practice for Asia Pacific and the Middle East.

![]() Princess Reema: We need more women in leadership roles paving the way Saudi Ambassador to the US Princess Reema bint Bandar said on Tuesday women have become vital contributors to the Kingdom’s economic future and highlighted the importance of education and mentorship in furthering the accomplishments of women for greater equality and inclusiveness. “Half of the world's population are women. And yet, we still make up a fraction of leadership positions, of business owners, of middle management, and still too small a part of the overall workforce. So that needs to change. Because when women succeed, we all succeed,” she said at an Atlantic Council panel titled “The Rising Female Workforce in Saudi Arabia and Its Impact on the Private Sector.” Princess Reema stressed the importance of investing in women’s empowerment: “It's not about just the bottom line. It's about creating a more inclusive and equitable society. It's the only way that I believe we can ensure that global, social and economic advancement is actual advancement, meaning advancement for everyone. Because advancement that doesn't embrace the need for gender equity, that's just not real advancement.” She highlighted several ways to address the gender gap: “I believe we need more women in leadership roles paving the way. We need more women in middle management positions continuing the work. We need more women business owners, more mentorship programs focused on female success, and more people investing in women-led startups. Frankly, more women at the table that help to shape the policies that affect us all. And we need more role models to show young girls what they can absolutely achieve.” Princess Reema stressed the importance of education and training to level the playing field with a higher participation of women in education, training and mentorship to pave the way for greater inclusivity. “Education and training helps level the playing field. It gives women an equal footing in the workplace and fosters not only gender equality, but equity. It also gives women greater control over their own financial lives, enabling them to participate more fully in the economic decision-making within their families and their communities. Because education and training is about having the real-life skills. It's about confidence-building, about preparing women to take their rightful place in society as full participants. We can shift cultural attitudes and norms around gender and business,” she said. The ambassador went on to highlight the success story of women and their accomplishments under the auspices of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. She emphasized that there’s still much work to be done, but highlighted the recent progress of women in the Kingdom. “Recently, the World Bank looked at 190 economies, and they ranked Saudi number one in terms of economic and social progress for women. Why? Because today in the kingdom we have more women receiving advanced degrees than men, more women enrolling in STEM, and more than 40 percent of small and medium-sized start-up companies are owned by women. Women today in Saudi Arabia enjoy equal pay,” Princess Reema said. Alarabiya.net 25/7/2023
