UAE Business: Aldar joins ‘Clean Energy Business Council’ as member – Gulf Digital News

UAE-based Aldar Properties has become the first real estate industry entity to join the Clean Energy Business Council (CEBC) as a partner member and will work closely with the organisation to enhance energy efficiency in the region.

The CEBC is a non-profit member association that is working to accelerate the transition towards clean energy in the Mena region by connecting the public and private sectors.

The real estate industry has a major role to play in supporting decarbonisation by reducing construction and operational emissions and working with communities to adopt more sustainable standards of living.

As one of Mena region’s largest real estate developer and manager with assets under management of AED30 billion ($8.2 billion) and a significant landbank primed for further development, Aldar recognises its responsibility to lead and support clean energy transition initiatives, said its top official.

"Aldar is proud to be taking a leading role on climate action in the region and to be helping set the benchmark for the real estate sector. As the urgency of combatting climate change intensifies, we are enhancing our sustainability strategy to lower our carbon emissions and become fully aligned with the UAE’s Net Zero goal," remarked Salwa Al Maflahi, Director for Sustainability and CSR
