THOUGHT LEADERSHIP IN ARCHITECTURE AND ENGINEERING

I am extremely proud of AJi embracing sustainable development. Green buildings are now a global necessity and have a significant role to play in driving economic growth in the MENA region. As responsible designers, we must incorporate environmental and social equity considerations into our work.?

In architecture and engineering, adapting to modern realities ensures our projects have the most impact. In the MENA region, economic growth and sustainability are now intertwined. Green buildings not only reduce environmental impact but also contribute to economic development by creating jobs, reducing energy costs, and improving public health.

This aligns with our dedication to delivering long-term value to our stakeholders by integrating sustainable practices into our projects. AJi’s 2023 Environmental, Social, and Governance Report highlighted our achievements in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, managing power usage, and maintaining international standards such as ISO 14001:2015, 45001:2018, and 9001:2015.

It’s impossible to ignore the fact that the construction sector is a significant emitter of greenhouse gases, responsible for over one-third of global CO2 emissions. Therefore, collectively, we must act to reduce our carbon footprint by implementing best practices and pioneering solutions that promote sustainability.

Green buildings are not just a trend but a crucial component of the MENA region's economic growth and sustainability efforts. It's an honor to help my team lead the way in this important work, demonstrating that sustainable practices can drive economic development while preserving our planet for future generations.
