Move aligns with UAE's new climate change law setting reduction targets for key sectors
Dubai: Tristar Group has released its inaugural Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Report, coinciding with the UAE Government's implementation of Federal Decree-Law No. (11) of 2024 On the Reduction of Climate Change Effects. The law mandates emissions reduction across vital sectors like energy and infrastructure.
Tristar’s 2024 GHG emissions were calculated at 2,513,747 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents (tCO2e). This reporting aligns with the company’s sustainability objectives, offering crucial insights into its carbon footprint to facilitate targeted emission reduction strategies.
“We did not just comply ahead of regulatory requirements but would want to take the lead in climate change mitigation as a responsible business,” explained Tristar Group CEO Eugene Mayne.
He added, “Considering the increasing global climate challenges, our initiative underscores the importance of corporate accountability and climate resilience in alignment with UAE’s NetZero goals.”
The federal law includes various mitigation measures such as carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) and enhancement of natural carbon sinks. A key feature of the law is the introduction of a robust Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) framework. This system mandates emissions inventories, third-party audits, and the creation of a national electronic tracking platform.
Founded on principles of Business with Purpose and a UN Global Compact member since 2011, Tristar supports the petroleum, chemical, and petrochemical industries with safe transport and storage solutions. Tristar celebrated World Environment Day on Tuesday, June 3, helping the United Nation’s 2025 theme of “Beat Plastic Pollution”.
