CEO’s Message
Dear Shareholders,
As we present our second Sustainability Report, we take this opportunity to reflect on the pivotal role OFM plays in realizing the Omani government’s vision for a sustainable and resilient food sector. In a world increasingly shaped by the challenges of climate change, global supply chain disruptions, and evolving market dynamics, our commitment to sustainability remains at the core of our strategic direction.
Over the past year, we have continued to align our operations with the broader Oman 2040 vision, focusing on strengthening food security, and addressing the impacts of climate change. Our sustainability strategy is not only a response to these challenges but also a proactive approach to creating long-term value for our stakeholders, employees, customers, communities, and shareholders.
This report highlights the progress we have made in embedding sustainability across every facet of our business. By embracing advanced technologies, improving efficiency, and reducing our environmental footprint, we have further solidified our leadership in Oman’s food industry. Investments in sustainable agriculture, resource conservation, and waste reduction underscore our commitment to operational excellence and environmental stewardship.
Equally important is our focus on social responsibility.
Through Omanization, localization, and community empowerment, we generate employment, support local suppliers, and contribute to Oman’s economic development. Our initiatives in education, training, and capacity-building further demonstrate our dedication to nurturing talent and fostering a skilled workforce for the future.
These achievements are a reflection of our management’s strategic vision, the support of our Board, and the dedication of our employees. Together, we have advanced sustainability and resilience, reinforcing OFM’s role as a trusted partner in Oman’s sustainable development journey. Looking ahead, we remain committed to continuous improvement, innovation, and collaboration to tackle challenges and seize new opportunities. We extend our sincere thanks to our shareholders for their ongoing trust and support, which continue to inspire us to pursue excellence and uphold our commitment to sustainability, resilience, and value creation. Together, we will build a brighter, more sustainable future for Oman and its people.
Sincerely,
Haitham bin Mohamed bin Ali Al-Fannah
