Qatar is committed to making continuous progress on the welfare of country's workers, the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy (SC) secretary general Hassan al-Thawadi said...[to] a session at the 2016 UN Asia Regional Forum on Business and Human Rights. 

“When we bid for the World Cup we did it with the spirit that a mega sporting event is not only a catalyst for a country’s own development plans but there is a responsibility to leave a lasting legacy," al-Thawadi pointed out. "One important part of it is the social legacy we leave behind after the tournament. Our measure of success is what legacy this tournament leaves behind for Qatar and the region,” he said while recalling the recent appointment of a third party independent monitor.  "This year we also launched a customised IT auditing platform because we understood the issues we faced in the complex supply chain. We recognised early on the issues that we faced in the State of Qatar and we take our commitment to this matter very seriously, based on our values, traditions and culture. We look to this World Cup as a catalyst for sustainable, long-term change. We will continue beyond 2022 in our commitment. I don’t want to paint the picture that we are perfect, but we are committed to this and significant progress has been made.”
