New Office, New Initiatives

  2. Provided reusable tableware in the pantries for employees to use instead of disposables.
  3. Encouraged employees to use the metro for their commute to work, and to carpool for external events.
  4. Donated cubicles, office furniture, and IT equipment from the old building to Qatar Charity’s Tayf programme.

Craftsmanship Program

The Craftsmanship is an innovative waste management and upcycling initiative by Mowasalat (Karwa) designed to inspire environmental responsibility and creativity among employees. This hands-on program transforms discarded materials from our operations—such as scrap wood, plastic, rubber, and metal—into meaningful crafted items and artworks.

Paper Recycling Initiative
As part of our Sustainability Week celebrations, our Sustainability Team and students are launching a Paper Recycling Initiative to promote environmental responsibility within our school community. Students will take action by placing collection boxes in classrooms to gather used paper, which will then be sent to a recycling factory. This initiative encourages everyone to reduce waste, reuse resources, and contribute to a greener planet.
