EMEEN Core Values
IMPACT
Impact is the core value at the heart of every decision EMEEN makes. EMEEN Network looks to make an impact with every project, collaboration & partnership that it undertakes. EMEEN Network will aim to design and quantify the impact that it is making on the wider community.
EMPOWERMENT
EMEEN Network was primarily established to empower ethnic minority employees and entrepreneurs to thrive and excel in the areas of their professional lives. At EMEEN, we believe in raising the profile of minority ethnic professionals as a form of empowerment.
COLLABORATION
As a networking organisation EMEEN will keep the value of collaboration at the heart of everything it does. We believe collaboration is key to creating thriving community relations and commerce.
DIVERSITY &
INCLUSION
EMEEN believes diversity and inclusion are the two sides of the same coin. These two values are inseparable and play a crucial part in contributing to meaningful impact, empowerment and collaboration within the community. EMEEN believes these two values binds all our values together.

“EMEEN was founded on the needs to educate, develop, and finally acclimatize migrants to the local employment and entrepreneurship environment in effort to expand socioeconomic well-being organically. It goes hand in hand with the long-term development objective of encouraging peaceful and inclusive communities, ensuring accessible legal representation for all, and creating efficient, competent, and diverse institutions at all tiers. I believe it will change the scope for entrepreneurs like me.”

“EMEEN is an organisation born out of need to inculcate exposure, practice and an eventual habituation of migrants within the local eco-system of employment and entrepreneurship in order to symbiotically promote social and economic well-being. It also aligns with a vision of UN’s sustainable development goal which is to promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels. I totally believe in the ethos and vision of the founding team which is to strengthen the economic development by bringing all societal groups under progressive hood.”

“I really appreciate EMEEN’s effort to bring the right people into the network to connect and help entrepreneurs make their business / venture a success. In this regard, the founder of EMEEN Mr. Steve Lazars has been great in connecting me to Belfast Met and other organisations who recognised my business model and supported to take my start up business to another level. EMEEN is putting a lot of effort in bringing up a new platform for migrants and ethnic minorities.
