ENEC and Environment Agency conduct East Mangroves beach clean up programme in Abu Dhabi

HSE

The Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC), in partnership with the Abu Dhabi-based Environment Agency, has conducted a beach cleanup campaign in the Eastern Mangroves of Abu Dhabi

The initiative is in line with ENEC’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) framework and activities for the Year of Zayed, designed to follow in the footsteps of the late Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who established and enhanced the culture of sustainability in the UAE.

More than 100 volunteers from ENEC and its subsidiaries, the Nawah Energy Company (Nawah) and Barakah One Company (BOC) demonstrated their dedication to environmental protection by collecting dozens of bags of waste.

Split into two groups, the volunteers conduct an on-shore cleanup and remove waste from the water.

In February 2018, ENEC was recognised by the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Group (ADSG) for its commitment and application of the highest standards of sustainability and environmental protection practices at the Sustainable Business Leadership Awards. The company also recently won the award for ‘Best Workplace and HR Practices’ at the Gulf Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Awards.

The UAE Peaceful Nuclear Energy Programme has a major role in the economic and social growth of the UAE by delivering clean, efficient and reliable electricity. The programme is also a main component of the UAE Energy Strategy 2050, which seeks to diversify the UAE’s energy mix and reduce the carbon footprint of electricity generation by 70 per cent over the next 30 years.

Once the four reactors of Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant are online, the facility is expected to save up to 21mn tonnes of carbon emissions each year.
