Etisalat Facilities Management L.L.C, a UAE based integrated facilities management company and part of the Etisalat Group, today announced a strategic initiative that will see the company utilise eco-friendly cleaning products in all its operations as part of its commitment to promote public health, safety, and environmental awareness of sustainable living.
The programme, which is aligned to the UAE's 2021 sustainability goals, will see Etisalat Facilities Management phase out conventional cleaning products in favour of those that are environmentally friendly and free of health risks. This process will take one year, and the company already started implementing its strategic plan in the second quarter of this year.
Ali Hasan Harmoodi, Business Development Manager at EFM, said: "By using eco-friendly products that do not cause harm to human health or to the environment in general, Etisalat Facilities Management is supporting the UAE's vision and efforts towards implementing the principles and practices of sustainable development." "Such initiatives increase awareness about preserving the environment and public health, through the practices of individuals or companies, in order to lay the foundations of a green and sustainable economy in the UAE," he added.
EFM's switch to eco-friendly products is also in line with a growing trend in the global facilities management sector, where procurement policies are being reviewed to favour the usage of green cleaning products.
