To this end, we have adopted a policy of source control in which operations shall be conducted in an environmentally sound manner. The new projects are ‘examined by the Group Environment, Health & Safety Department in technical detail from the outset to determine the environmental impacts and so allow us to specify mitigation measures, which have to be built into the projects at the design stage, Should potentially significant environmental impacts be recognized or suspected, then an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study is requested from the company. Taking, all the evidence into account, we then require suitable pollution prevention and control measures of a practicable nature All our clients are required to adopt and operate clean, modern technologies, efficient suse of energy and materials and minimize waste generation by operating Recycle, Reuse and Recovery (RRR) options and the safe and responsible disposal of any residual wastes. An effective balance has to be struck between the industry and environment which will not only provide the necessary measures to protect the environment, but wil also help us to achieve the sustainable development of all cur ventures, We contribute to the development of government regulatory policy and initiatives that Il enhance environmental training and awareness of environmental protection. We co-operate closely with Dubai Municipality (DM) and the Federal Environmental Agency (FEA) on a regular basis, regarding mutual environmental concerns. Envizonmental Management is an important part of control, which is fully recognized and implemented by the Authority. We have been certified for IS0-14001:2002 and we encourage all our clients to achieve the same.
