The Green Award is an annual event, which was launched in 2018 by Ashghal’s Quality and Safety Department (QSD) and Roads Projects Department (RPD). It aims to encourage contractors and consultancies to adopt the best environmental and sustainability measures in construction stage, including in air quality management, ground water recycling, carbon emissions reduction, material recycling and cost efficiency.
The initiative aims to assess the effectiveness of sustainability management across projects under implementation and reward companies with outstanding and continuous performances. The initiative also seeks to identify distinguished sustainability practices on site and share innovations and practical solutions with others for adoption on a wider scale.
The timetable for this year’s event was formally released by Ashghal’s QSD on July 12.
