The Future of Free Trade Zones: A Glimpse Ahead
In today’s rapidly evolving environment, companies must be Future-ready . This means embracing change and developing the capacity to predict what lies ahead, allowing them to adapt accordingly.

Sustainability
The United Nations (UN) defines sustainability as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
Achieving this goal requires three core elements:
1.Economic growth: This involves increasing the production of goods and services, boosting employment, and advancing technology.
2.Social inclusion: This focuses on enhancing the ability, opportunity, and dignity with which individuals and groups participate in society.
3.Environmental protection: It requires organizations and governments to act to protect the natural world.
Free Trade Zones need to identify their sustainability priorities based on their business models, then provide investors, clients, and communities with sustainable solutions in terms of amenities, logistics, management, and environmental practices.
