During this cycle, the Al Mulla Engineering team aligned with the goals and vision of the customer in relation to sustainability and delivered customised solutions to optimise the operations of the building. The deployed solutions have resulted in reducing cooling water consumption by 7% in 2022 compared to the baseline in 2019 as well as a reduction in energy consumption by 9% in 2022 compared to the baseline in 2019.
 
This award recognition is part of Schneider Electric’s efforts to support partners, customers and suppliers who are committed to reaching their sustainability goals. It is also a testament to the solid commitment by Al Mulla Engineering to uphold its part in ensuring that its and strategic growth initiatives conform to the highest global standards to maintain sustainability practices across its diverse range of engineering operations.
 
Amel Chadli, Gulf Countries President, commented: “I congratulate Al Mulla Engineering for its outstanding efforts to empower its customers to reach their sustainability goals. Businesses need to look beyond their own operations and consider who they are indirectly responsible for across their value chain and, crucially, who they can assist along the way. Reaching net zero is a collective goal, and we need to work together to share the best sustainable practices and support customers to decarbonise.”
 
Eng Anfal N Al Mulla, Managing Director of Al Mulla Engineering, added: “We are delighted to have been recognised for the work we have done to minimise the environmental impact on the planet and supporting to improve the performance of the building by providing the technologies to address the environmental social goals of our customers. We are acutely aware that expectations on businesses like ours to demonstrate how we are decarbonizing our own operations and those of our customers, are only going to intensify as we draw closer to 2050. We wanted to get ahead and play our part in the journey to net zero and are proud to be recognized for this by receiving this award.”
 
Schneider Electric facilitates sustainable practices with solutions that are simplified, open and utilise digital transformation as a key driver for positive change. One way the company achieves this is by enabling partners to assess their own carbon footprint and build a trackable and traceable plan of action, as well as certifying partners’ ability to assess the sustainability of their supplier and customer ecosystems.
 
Schneider Electric Sustainability Impact Awards were launched in 2022 to celebrate and recognise the pivotal role that Schneider’s extensive network of partners play in delivering a more resilient and sustainable electric world. Participants continue to be carefully assessed on how they are leveraging energy and digital and automation solutions in operations, reducing energy usage, increasing operational efficiency, and embracing circularity across the value chain, the company said. - TradeArabia News Service
