Supporting Qatar Foundation to restore Qatar’s indigenous landscape

Jaidah Group are proud to be joining Qatar Foundations Park & Plant initiative which looks to restore Qatar’s rich indigenous landscape, create suitable environment for vivid fauna and improve the overall air quality and health of the country.

Jaidah will be supporting with uniforms, equipment and laborers to take them one step closer to achieving their vision. 

Solar Energy and Sustainability

We will be conducting a hands on workshop for year 7 students where students will learn about solar energy, how it works, solar applications and sustainability. In Qatar, the peak electricity usage is in the middle of the day, right when solar is producing the most energy. At the end of this, students will have a fundamental understanding about solar energy and how, and why, it is sustainable.

DISS Go Green Campaign - Make Green your favourite color

DISS want to do things right in our business. For us this means implementing sustainable processes that are aligned with our values and are environmentally friendly. Qatar Sustainability week is a perfect opportunity to jump start our sustainability efforts starting with our internal teams. In our participation towards environmental responsibility and in line with Qatar Sustainability Week, DISS will execute the following go green campaign:

 

Sustainability Awarness

The main objective behind is encourage the sustainability approach and implementation in the site, through the sustainable environment and resource conservation with main goal to minimize the negative environmental impacts and reduce operating costs while conserving the natural resources to the minimal consumption and usage. Main target is to reduce the use of natural resources and eliminate waste. 

Eco-friendly office

ILoveQatar.net’s office has been recycling since 2016 with number of different recycling companies and recently, we adopted “No one time plastic items” in our office to reduce the waste.

-Recycle as usual

-No one time use plastic cutleries, plastic straws, wooden chopsticks, plastic bags

-No plastic bottled water, takeout coffee cups or plastic cups

-Use tumbler for takeout drinks and eco-bags for grocery

-No paper printing for internal use

We recommend other organizations to join this initiative!

Paperless Office

Objectives:Promotes the Environment

Manufacturing paper products produce greenhouse gases, causing deforestation and global warming. Recycling can offset some of the environmental impact, but not by much. Most paper eventually ends up in a landfill. Further, ink and toners contain volatile compounds and non-renewable substances which are damaging to the environment. It is much more sustainable to simply reduce paper use altogether by switching to a paperless office.

Lunch + Learn Awareness session

As part of Sustainability Week and as an attempt to increase awareness regarding Sustainability and the Environment, QF Community Development and Qatar Green Building Council have organized an awareness session in the form of a free lunch and learning activities. The students were informed on how to make their campus Eco Friendly, ways of involvement, solutions 101, and many more interactive activities.
