We're not just attending; we're actively absorbing insights, engaging with sustainability leaders, and reaffirming our dedication to aligning with the world's sustainability agenda.”

Dubai Investments' subsidiaries have spearheaded transformative initiatives in various sectors which involve innovation in building material companies. The Group’s building material entities have introduced innovative, green products that promote sustainable construction practices, including energy-efficient materials and solutions. Initiatives like low-emissivity, solar-powered glass and insulation materials have been pivotal in promoting sustainable building designs and energy efficiency across UAE projects and supporting green infrastructure integration. The transition to electric vehicles by many of the Group’s companies contributes to the company's efforts to reduce its carbon footprint.

Through innovative water recycling initiatives, the Group’s subsidiaries have recycled and reused water, significantly conserving this critical resource.
