In today’s business landscape, sustainability plays a central role for companies. The focus on environmentally friendly practices and sustainable innovations is not only a corporate responsibility but also an economic necessity. Technologies that promote sustainability are essential today to remain competitive and meet the rising expectations of consumers.
The current political discourse surrounding climate action makes these issues even more relevant. Companies investing in sustainable technologies position themselves not only as leaders in their industry but also actively contribute to reducing CO2 emissions.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) aims to enhance its competitiveness, promote sustainable development, and preserve the environment for future generations. In 2016, the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) was established with the goal of addressing climate protection challenges in an economically viable way while safeguarding natural heritage.
In recent years, the UAE has intensified its efforts to promote environmental awareness among its citizens. Residents are encouraged to actively participate in ecological projects within the UAE, contributing to the environmental and conservation movement.
The AHK Sustainability Forum was established as a platform for our member companies and acts as a catalyst for innovations, technologies, and strategic partnerships aimed at advancing climate protection, environmental awareness and sustainability in the UAE.
Objectives and Scope of the Initiative:
- Promote innovations and expand the green economy through knowledge sharing.
- Analyze current and planned developments in the UAE and identify opportunities and strategies for a sustainable future.
- Establish long-term partnerships between governmental institutions and the private sector regarding green economy topics.
With the AHK Sustainability Forum, which covers events and activities from various industrial sectors, we contribute to thematic measures and sustainable practices in the UAE for a future-ready and environmentally-conscious society.
Be part of our efforts for a sustainable future - get involved today!
