Majid Al Futtaim unveils 13 new sustainability targets for 2018

Majid Al Futtaim unveiled 13 new sustainability targets for 2018 with the aim of raising the standard in Mena.

The 13 new targets fall within three key areas - creating high performance assets; fostering prosperous communities; and promoting pioneering standards. They focus as much on generating profit as on saving the planet. They include water, waste energy and carbon efficiency, labour conditions in the supply chain, health and safety, green building standards, local economic development and enhancement of the public realm, to list a few.

George Kostas, Majid Al Futtaim Properties’ CEO, said, “The latest edition of our Sustainability Report illustrates the significant benefits for our businesses and surrounding communities that our sustainability strategy has yielded over the past five years. We have also identified a number of areas in which we can further improve and our new long term targets raise the bar for the Mena.”

The company’s 2013 Sustainability Report, ‘Transforming Tomorrow’ details the company’s five-year sustainability strategy and sets the company on a path to becoming a sustainability pioneer in the Middle East and to transforming the economic and social development of the region.

Ibrahim Al-Zu’bi, Head of Sustainability, Majid Al Futtaim Properties, said, “Our sustainability policies reflect our social commitment to our communities, our desire to achieve greater operational efficiencies and the rise of ethical consumerism across the region.”
