EMICOOL receives Dubai Chamber CSR Label

The citation was received by Adib Moubadder, General Manager, EMICOOL, from His Excellency Hamad Buamim, Director General, DCCI, at a ceremony held recently.

Established in 2010, the CSR Label acknowledges corporate entities for their progressive approach to four impact areas - the workplace, marketplace, community and environment.

EMICOOL has consistently endeavored to establish a sustainable system of operations across its divisions, and has partnered with entities to encourage community building and development.

These include their sponsorship of Feelings 2012, a youth-based community initiative, and the Rashid Paediatric Therapy Centre, the region's leading school for children with special needs. EMICOOL also actively sponsors the Dubai Autism Centre.

In an effort to emphasize its commitment to environmental responsibility, EMICOOL has invested efforts to reduce wastage and carbon emissions by using energy-efficient district cooling equipment. It also supports ongoing green initiatives such as the Dubai Police Academy's 'One Million' trees project.

Moubadder said, "The commercial roadmap of Dubai is closely linked to the city's ambition of setting a global example in sustainable and responsible living. Dubai Chamber's extensive process of benchmarking corporates based on international standards encourages companies to align themselves with such goals for collective development. We are pleased to be recognized for our efforts in this respect, and hope to double our impact in the future."

The Centre for Responsible Business provides specific self-assessment guidelines for the Dubai Chamber CSR Label, based on which organizations are expected to provide evidence to support their claims of responsible commercial and noncommercial undertakings.

EMICOOLis a joint venture of Dubai Investments PJSC, and Union Properties PJSC, a leading property investment developer in the UAE. Headquartered in Dubai Investments Park, EMICOOL provides an uninterrupted supply of chilled water cooling services produced with the help of innovative and sustainable technology to over 10,000 customers in the Green Communities in Dubai Investments Park, Dubai Motor City and Dubai Sport City.
