City Centre Bahrain continues to advance its retail sustainability efforts with international best practices

City Centre Bahrain, the premier shopping, entertainment, and lifestyle destination in the Kingdom, owned and operated by Majid Al Futtaim, continues to demonstrate its increased efforts to build on its net positive carbon and water targets. Investing in best sustainable practices since the start of its operations in 2008, City Centre Bahrain has been working towards significantly reducing the company’s water consumption and carbon emissions to put more back into the environment than it takes out. This is in line with the Kingdom’s commitment to cut emissions by 30 percent by 2035.

The Mall’s sustainability initiatives are part of Majid Al Futtaim’s overall community-centric sustainability strategy, and tie into the company’s commitment to becoming Net Positive in carbon and water by 2040.

Rethinking its resources to address its use of resources for a Net Positive impact has been the core focus of City Centre Bahrain’s sustainability plans. These initiatives range from community-centric to infrastructural enhancements of mall’s assets. From introducing a recycling program by setting up 85 recycling bins at the mall to encourage environmentally friendly behavior among mall visitors, to switching to 15,746 LED light bulbs to installation of a RO water plant and investment in solar panels to use sunlight
