e& Group, a global technology group based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), declared on 13 September 2023 that it had joined the list of official ‘Principal Technology Partners’ for COP28, which will take place from 30 November to 12 December 2023 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This partnership aligns with the Group’s commitment to reach net zero emissions and promote global climate action to achieve a sustainable future.
The Group has made carbon reduction a priority, primarily through improved energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources.
As Principal Technology Partner, e& will contribute to the action agenda of COP28, which aims to accelerate a fair and orderly energy transition, address climate finance, and focus on human health and livelihoods, while ensuring full stakeholder involvement.
Hatem Dowidar, CEO of etisalat and Group, said: “This partnership epitomizes e&’s vision of empowering the communities we serve while safeguarding the environment for future generations. The time for action is now, and COP28 is the ideal platform to make this change a reality by working with everyone in every part of the world.
“Our partnership with COP28 emphasizes e&’s dedication to addressing global social, economic, and climate challenges, mirroring the UAE’s commitment to leading sustainable economy, industrial growth, and advancing the climate agenda across multiple sectors.”
This year, e& strengthened its commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) by adopting the World Economic Forum (WEF) Sustainability Capitalism Metrics.
As a result, e&, along with more than 100 other global organizations, has now integrated ESG indicators into its performance reporting and is consistently measuring its contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs).
