UAE-based DC Pro Engineering, a global leader in district cooling, co-generation, tri-generation and sustainability in green building MEP designs, said it has won top rating from Dubai SME for its business performance, innovation and CSR (corporate social responsibility).

The SME Rate Framework, the first rating system of its kind in the UAE, was designed and implemented by Dubai SME to stimulate the growth of the SME (small and medium enterprises) sector and highlight the key role it plays in the UAE economy.

This division set up by the Dubai Department of Economic Development to help grow SMEs in the emirate.

The award is based on five key pillars, including business performance (Operational Analysis and Financial Analysis), corporate governance and excellence, innovation, international expansion, and CSR.
 
On the win, CEO George Berbari said: "The UAE’s diversification is vital for the growth as the country is shifting its economy towards non-oil sources and focusing on renewables. We are proud to receive this prestigious award."

"Having started the company more than a decade ago we feel we have a responsibility to be a key player in the SME sector," stated Berbari.
 
“Our key message in DC Pro Engineering is to push towards renewable technologies and sustainability, in line with the Dubai 2021 Vision. SMEs are vital for the success of the 2021 Vision and we are happy to be contributor in the plan,” he added.
