Environment
Contribution to Sustainable Development
- Contemporary environmental challenges have awakened businesses across
all sectors to manage their impact on the environment. - As the first step in that direction, we started measuring our organisation’s emissions (Scope 1, 2 & 3) and taking action on waste management issues by recycling onsite waste.
Our progress
Combating climate change and reducing our environmental footprint.
We have adopted an Environmental & Energy Policy across all our business units according to the requirements of ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 50001:2018 that allows us to:
- Improve our environmental performance
- Define energy reduction targets
At the same time, to manage solid waste generated, we implement the Go Zero programme by Polygreen while raising awareness among our people through regular training sessions and other activities.
