MISSION STATMENT
Empowering the Ummah’s entrepreneurial spirit, the Global Muslim Entrepreneurs Network (GMEN) commits to fostering innovation, collaboration, and growth within the framework of Islamic values. We strive to bridge boundaries, facilitating opportunities and resources that uplift and unite Muslim business minds across the globe. Rooted in tradition and forward in vision, GMEN is dedicated to creating a prosperous, ethically-driven future for the global Muslim entrepreneurial community.
The purpose of a code of conduct
All members of GMEN should embody noble character, morality, and ethical conduct (akhlaq) in their business activities in the Muslim community (ummah) and in dealings with other non-Muslim communities.
At the core of Islamic business ethics is a commitment to trust, honesty, and fair treatment of all stakeholders involved in business activities. We believe following Islamic ethics in our business activities is an act of worship and will produce positive business, personal and social outcomes.
This code of ethics is intended to enable SMBF to build a Muslim business network which builds trust and encourages cooperation, collaboration and community amongst Muslim business owners and professionals.
