1-Environmental sustainability:
- Adoption of a comprehensive environment management plan after consulting international experts and carrying out a series of studies which was also implemented through environment and air quality monitoring and analytical system.
- Installation of solar energy trees with a capacity ranging between 2kW and 3 kW to generate power to primary irrigation controllers and actuator valves to secondary asset connections.
- Implementation of many initiatives that played a fundamental role in creating a sustainable future, through investing in innovative research projects to preserve the environment and contracting with experts to promote recycling and to protect the environment.
- Installation of a complete sewage treatment network for the entire southern island of Diyar, to prevent the passage of tankers in “Diyar Al Muharraq”. In addition to setting up their own sewage system in 20 meters-deep tunnels.
