In a major boost to its commitment to environmental sustainability, Dubai Investments PJSC (DI) – the largest investment company listed on the Dubai Financial Market (DFM), has received certificates of recycling for its carbon neutral electronics waste and print cartridges. As part of the program which was launched in October 2012, DI has recycled toner cartridges, print cartridges and contributed in significantly reducing its carbon footprint. The recycling program is being undertaken by IndustryRE LLC – a leading sustainable management consultancy firm based in the UAE. Abdulaziz Bin Yagub Al Serkal, General Manager of Dubai Investments, said: “As an organization, we aim to become more environmentally efficient across all our operations and develop innovative technologies that reduce the ecological footprint of our products and services. We are proud of our achievements on this front, and the certificates reinforce our ongoing commitment to be a socially responsible and environmentally-sustainable company.” IndustryRE, which installed collection boxes at DI office premises for electronics waste and print cartridges, provides DI with monthly reports on quantities, volumes and weight of collected waste. The company recycles the electronics waste to the highest environmental standards and ensures that no item reaches any landfill, locally or internationally. — SG
