Abu Dhabi: The Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC), in partnership with the Environment Agency — Abu Dhabi, has carried out a beach cleanup campaign in the Eastern Mangroves of Abu Dhabi. The initiative is in line with ENEC’s Corporate Social Responsibility framework and activities for the Year of Zayed, designed to follow in the footsteps of the late Shaikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who established and enhanced the culture of sustainability in the UAE.
More than 100 volunteers from ENEC and its subsidiaries, the Nawah Energy Company (Nawah) and Barakah One Company (BOC) took part in the effort by collecting dozens of bags of waste. The volunteers split in two groups, with one conducting an on-shore cleanup, and the other kayaking through the Mangroves to remove waste from the water.
In February 2018, ENEC was recognised by the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Group (ADSG) for its commitment and application of the highest standards of sustainability and environmental protection practices at the Sustainable Business Leadership Awards. ENEC was awarded the ‘Best Sustainability Report’ award for the development and publication of the annual ENEC Sustainability Report in 2016. ENEC also recently won the award for ‘Best Workplace and HR Practices’ at the Gulf Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Awards.
