Throws spotlight on sustainability for energy savings

The ENOC Group has announced holding a day-long seminar to share the findings and lessons learnt from its inaugural Energy & Efficiency report, underlining the initiatives undertaken by the group to promote Energy Efficiency & Resource Management (EE&RM) practices.

The seminar, said ENOC, attended by representatives of several Dubai Government departments and key ENOC stakeholders, was held at the Al Bustan Rotana hotel on December 17, where the participants learnt how energy efficiency and sustainability can be achieved as represented by the company’s efforts over the last seven years.

EE&RM should be an integral part of every organisation in an era that is increasingly becoming carbon-aware, Saif Al Falasi, the ENOC Group CEO and Chairman of the E&RM Steering Committee, reportedly stressed at the seminar, and added: “Having adopted a scientific Efficiency & Resource Management Policy and manual in 2008, ahead of the launch of ISO 50001, ENOC’s approach is aligned with the goals of the Dubai Integrated Energy (DIES) Strategy, which are to reduce energy demand by 30% by 2030 and to diversify the Emirate’s energy mix. To this end, we have not only been focusing on increasing our energy efficiency, but we have also rolled out ambitious initiatives to reduce the company’s carbon footprint, in addition to innovative solutions to enhance our products, including the opening of Middle East’s first green service station and the use of cleaner, greener compressed natural gas as an alternative automotive fuel. An E&RM policy is now part of the Group’s strategic map.”

According to ENOC, the seminar also served as a platform to award ENOC businesses and individuals who contributed to make energy and resource management a success.
