Reducing the carbon footprint of any organisation means less pressure on the use of fossil fuels. Decarbonisation refers to all methods through which any entity, business, government, or organisation reduce their carbon footprint, mainly greenhouse gasses like CO2 and CH4.
One of the country’s leading logistics and courier service companies, Zajel, is looking into different methods in which the company can contribute to the plight of climate change and environmental degradation via various means.
Part of its methods will be raising employee awareness in simple ways to reduce carbon footprint whilst the company studies further ways to shift to alternative energy methods, in line with the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 plan. The company has decided to do this through educational workshops and raising awareness amongst its employees.
“There are small changes everyone can do that would make a difference. Even if the steps are small, eventually we will all reach the goal of reducing our carbon footprint, which will benefit the bigger goal of net zero 2050,” Nabeel Al Kharabsheh, Zajels General Manager. Moreover, Zajel operates and is ISO14001 – 2015 Environmental Management System Certified.
The company is dedicated to embracing environmentally friendly practices and has taken measures to implement the strategy by utilising recyclable materials for all operations. In addition to avoiding purchasing non-recyclable materials, the company has partnered with other companies committed to environmental preservation. Moreover, office staff are advised to unplug devices and turn off lights when not in use. As part of this sustainability initiative, Zajel is actively collaborating with vendors who possess environmental certifications or utilise recycled materials, aligning with the company’s CSR vision and working towards ensuring that all vendors are certified or use recyclable materials.
