Dubai Chambers promotes sustainability through Dubai Can initiative
The savings were made as part of their participation in Dubai Can, a sustainability initiative launched by Sheikh Hamdan, Ruler of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai.
Dubai Chambers has saved a total of 72,239 litres of water, equivalent to 3,822 five-gallon bottles, between June 2022 and June 2023.
The savings were made as part of their participation in Dubai Can, a sustainability initiative launched by Sheikh Hamdan, Ruler of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai, according to a statement shared by Zawya.
Dubai Can aims to educate and mobilise society to reduce waste and protect the environment. Dubai Chambers' Centre for Responsible Business implements sustainability best practices which include installing water filters and providing refillable bottles in a bid to discourage the use of single-use plastic.
So far, Dubai Chambers has installed 23 filtered drinking water dispenser units on all floors of its headquarters, connected to DEWA's potable water supply, as per the statement. The chamber's commitment to raising awareness of the impact of small daily habits on the environment, society, and health highlights the importance of responsible and sustainable practices.
