The occasion of World Earth Day is a annual reminder for mankind to protect and safeguard planet earth and its species; to make Earth a safe place for future generations. The UAE adds great significance to preserving the integrity of the planet and promoting sustainability, as reflected in the great efforts and significant achievements made by the country in this field.

It’s a matter of pride that within a few years since its establishment, Mai Dubai has succeeded in increasing the share of clean energy in its operations and driving the green agenda. Our rooftop solar panel installations have shown excellent performance and has made Mai Dubai a net-zero energy consumer in the present day. The company has the second largest solar rooftop installation in the world and the largest in the region by industry standard. Moreover, these efforts have enabled us to reduce to the equivalent of 15,500 metric tons (MT) of carbon dioxide emissions.
On the occasion of World Earth Day 2021, we continue our commitment towards protecting the environment and Mother Earth to create a better world where the air is cleaner, the planet is greener, and the communities healthier.
