A Message from the General Manager

"Sustainability is a key factor in our business and has many aspects. For me it means maintaining stability, standing by the community and the environment, and continuous development."

Mohamed Abdullah A. Al Ghurair General Manager

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I'm happy to share with you, the second sustainability report for National Cement Company, Dubai (NCC). The report covers our sustainability journey for 2020-2021, and reinforces our commitment towards sustainable business operations, as we strive to emerge as an organization following the best Environment, Social and Governance practices (ESG). We communicate our efforts towards an inclusive, sustainable, safe and resilient future through this report.

During the year 2021, we had many successes in terms of sustainability, including improved energy efficiency and reduction of emissions across our operations. The sustainability targets were set in light of the long-term strategic priorities of the company, to be achieved by managing the environmental impact of the activities. We will continue to work in harmony with our local communities and challenge ourselves to improve energy efficiency and resources management. We continue to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through improved utilization of our facilities and energy saving initiatives. During the reporting period, NCC has successfully commissioned a 6.00 MW Waste Heat Recovery Plant (WHR) as part of its sustainability initiatives to reduce the electricity consumption and the associated emissions.

I would like to thank you all for being crucial participants in NCC's growth journey towards a sustainable future. I reaffirm my words that NCC will continue riding the concrete steps, to achieve a sustainable future. I welcome you to go through this sustainability report, and share your views about the same.
