Ali bin Towaih, Executive Director of the Sustainable Energy and Environment Division (SEED) of TECOM Investments said:
'Dubai is experiencing a major shift in attitudes towards commercial development. TECOM Investments has played an instrumental role in engineering this shift, consistently providing outstanding business facilities and services as well as a convenient and pleasant environment for business partners to function seamlessly. While TECOM Investments is a knowledge-based corporation with the largest number of existing building projects pursuing LEED™ certification in the region, we continue to demonstrate our relentless commitment towards endorsing sustainable development in the region that will make our developments more energy & water efficient, resource efficient and attach a certain level of responsibility to our developments. We have progressed extremely well in this project that we started one year ago and are well on target to complete the certification as per timelines set out in our Sustainable Development Policy.'
To date, TECOM Investments has a total of 46 projects seeking LEED™ certification, including the 30 existing buildings as well as new developments that are either under construction or undergoing interior works. Each entity under the TECOM Investments umbrella currently boasts at least one building that is pursuing a LEED™ certification.
Taking the lead in the region to pioneer eco-friendly initiatives in the corporate world, TECOM Investments has established SEED, a dedicated division for sustainable energy and environmental practices comprising a specialised team of energy engineers and LEED Accredited Professionals.
Over the last two years, TECOM Investments has taken a pro-active approach to reducing carbon footprint in the region. Among its notable initiatives, it recently became the first-ever corporation to implement a Sustainable Development Policy, providing a comprehensive guideline for all TECOM buildings to reduce energy costs. Through its series of energy and water conservation and oncoming recycling programmes, TECOM further validates its commitment to endorsing green-friendly measures.
