du employees and their families proactively engaged in Clean UAE to protect the environment and helped reduce plastic waste pollution. As a sustainability leader and enabler in the UAE, du values its workers and the environment, recognizing that both are essential for a successful and thriving organisation. It has implemented a comprehensive sustainability strategy that focuses on the community wellbeing and improving the environment.

The National Environmental Day marks the beginning of many significant events planned in the UAE in 2023 to improve the country’s environmental sustainability. This effort is part of the UAE’s larger commitment to reducing emissions, promoting renewable energy sources, and advancing green infrastructure. In November, the UAE will host the 28th Conference of Parties (COP 28), which will be the final major environmental event of the year.
