Johnson Controls, a global leader for smart, healthy and sustainable buildings, will host a sustainability roundtable to tackle the latest sustainable energy options for businesses in Middle East & Africa (MEA).
The gathering seeks to advance the business sustainability agenda amid the growing climate actions and environmental preservation efforts worldwide.
“At Johnson Controls, sustainability is an integral part of our vision and values. We have set ambitious environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments, science-based targets as well as a net zero carbon pledge to support a healthy, more sustainable planet over the next two decades. Our aim in conducting this roundtable is to foster a culture of sustainability that engages and attracts people who want to make a difference, improve business operational efficiency, and share actionable intelligence, insights and best practices for a clean and green future,” said Mohammad Khalid, vice president and general manager, Middle East and Africa at Johnson Controls.
Sustainability trends
The roundtable will highlight the latest sustainability trends in the region and environmental protection opportunities, with an emphasis on products and services that empower customers and communities to consume less energy and conserve natural resources.
“To shape the future, we must build it together. As such, the business sector needs to share experiences to ensure a low-carbon and energy-efficient economy. While renewable solutions backed with a well-designed energy transition play a pivotal role in achieving the global climate agendas, businesses should understand the importance of sustainable best practices and take the right steps to meet both national and international goals,” added Khalid.
The event will be facilitated by Emerging Markets Intelligence & Research (EMIR), a Dubai based advisory firm that delivers actionable intelligence, connections and content to over 1,000 decision makers across some of the biggest companies in the world. Trevor McFarlane, CEO, EMIR said: “This insightful platform will help strengthen cooperation towards energy efficiency. And we’re excited to partner with Johnson Controls because they’re leading the way in terms of sustainability.”
“With a far-sighted vision of reducing carbon emissions, we are committed to ensuring that businesses operating in the region MEA have the resources they need to make sustainable changes,” concluded Khalid.-- TradeArabia News Service
