Quote by H.E. Ahmad Bin Shafar, CEO of Empower, on National Environment Day

“National Environment Day is a distinguished national occasion that reaffirms the UAE’s commitment to environmental protection and sustainability as core pillars of long-term economic and social development. This approach reflects a forward-looking national vision that recognised, at an early stage, that preserving natural resources and enhancing their efficient use are fundamental to building prosperous cities capable of addressing future climate challenges. District cooling has emerged as one of the most effective solutions for reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions in modern cities. At Empower, we deliver highly efficient district cooling services that support rapid urban growth, enhance the quality of life, and improve the efficiency of urban infrastructure. We remain committed to adopting advanced technologies, continuously developing our operational systems, and strengthening our environmental performance, in line with the UAE’s vision for a green economy and sustainable development. This occasion also highlights the importance of collaboration between government entities, the private sector, and the wider community to accelerate the transition towards more efficient and sustainable cities, safeguard the environment for future generations, and further consolidate the UAE’s position as a global model for responsible environmental action,” said H.E.
