Al Benaa Real Estate celebrates Earth Day at Cityscape Abu Dhabi 2009

While the world celebrates the day on April 22, Al Benaa hopes to draw attention to the impact of climate change on the world, which is in line with the effort of the UAE government in order to increase knowledge about the environment in order to preserve it.

Participating in the event were Noura Al Nowais, CEO of Al Benaa, Hamad Saif Al Mansouri, Chairman of the Board of Directors and several managers and heads of real estate companies. A group of young Emirati girls also did their part to raise awareness by distributing brochures providing a range of practical advice to save the environment and minimize the impact of greenhouses gases.

Noura Al Nowais quotes:

"Today we take part in an initiative that is shared by all with thousands of activities organized in local school and parks, proving that environmental education has become part of the collective consciousness. The idea of protecting the environment is no longer limited to a circle of activists and specialists but has become the quest of the public and therefore, we decided that within Cityscape Abu Dhabi, we should raise awareness of the environment. Our economic vision within the Abu Dhabi 2030 plan is based on infrastructure development and environmental sustainability and the company's priority is to protect the population of the UAE and benefit the community in which we live."

Since 2006, Al Benaa have concentrated on projects that are environment-friendly and promote a vibrant lifestyle while being consistent with the highest international standards in maintaining the healthiest possible environment for clients.

Joining the Al Benaa team Tuesday at 13:00 is Emirati poet Hamad Al Hajri, focusing on the traditional elements of Emirati culture that Al Benaa embraces in its designs and projects.

Al Benaa are located in Hall 5 at Cityscape Abu Dhabi along with their joint venture companies Far East Property Services (UAE) with Far East Organization from Singapore and Al Shoula Properties with Kuwaiti company KCMCC.
