LuLu Group is seeking to reduce its carbon footprint by 50% by 2030 as part of its sustainable development initiatives.

Dr Mohamed Althaf, director, LuLu Group International, made the statement on the sidelines of a signing ceremony with United Development Company (UDC) held at Cityscape Qatar 2021 Monday.

Althaf signed an agreement with UDC executive director commercial Hussain Akbar al-Baker for the opening of a LuLu Hypermarket in Giardino Mall at The Pearl-Qatar covering an area of 13,000sqm, in addition to a LuLu Supermarket and retail brands on a 700sqm area at Gewan Island.

“What we have done now is a part of our expansion strategy for LuLu in Qatar; we are now expanding into all the new settlements and all the new areas. The Pearl-Qatar has a large community that requires a lot of services, so now we already have a plan for a large formatted LuLu Hypermarket inside The Pearl-Qatar, which will be a very major step for us.

“The other LuLu store at Gewan Island is the second development that we are signing with UDC. It will be a smaller outlet but it will cater to the needs of all the people around that area, depending on their requirements,” Althaf told
