Farnek honours suppliers with green awards

Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Leading UAE-based smart and green facilities management (FM) company Farnek, has recognised its two top suppliers for their commitment to the environment.

UAE-based Dulsco, a leading provider of integrated people and environmental solutions and Kone Middle East, a global leader in the elevator and escalator industry, received sustainability awards from Markus Oberlin, CEO of Farnek, during a ceremony held at Farnek’s offices yesterday (Wednesday 16 November 2022).
