Equate wins top Middle East CSR award

On this occasion, EQUATE VP Technical services Mohammad Al benali said, “Such recognition is a result of EQUATE’s overall commitment to all sustainability related issues, such as the environment. For this purpose, EQUATE has launched several initiatives aimed at ensuring the environment’s preservation and protection.”
 
Al Benali added, “These initiatives include Kuwait’s first and only seawater cooling towers, Kuwait’s first CO2 recovery project, as well as the Middle East’s first plant water recycle project. This has enabled EQUATE to manifest its world-class excellence to the judging committee which lauded and commended these unique achievements.”
 
Al Benali expressed utmost appreciation to the award’s organizers and their role in recognizing the efforts of EQUATE which has received numerous awards, adding “The Company does not view this recognition and others as rewards, they are sources of encouragement to dedicate more efforts into implementing the principles of sustainability to the fullest by continuing EQUATE’s ’Partners in Success’ tagline.”
