Summertown Interiors recently announced its achievement of attaining PEARL membership with the UAE Business Council for Sustainable Development (UAE BCSD), the leading regional organization for advancing economic growth within the Arab Countries Community and establishing awareness of key environmental issues and concerns inherent to the region.
The UAE Business Council for Sustainable Development provides an important channel for companies looking to cultivate their foothold in the region, providing a unique platform from which to strengthen company presence not only regionally but allows organizations to interact with global environmental issues, people and practices that would be otherwise inaccessible.
A number of significant green initiatives have distinguished Summertown Interiors as a PEARL member of the UAE BCSD, notably the recent establishment of the ‘Green Committee’ as the company enters 2011 - a collaborative effort across all parts of the company and additional Summertown entities that has been founded to achieve complete carbon neutrality for the company by 2020. The inception of this strategic course of action makes a statement that not only reveals the innovation and commitment Summertown has displayed in terms of implementing sustainable business practices here in the UAE but illustrates the green lifestyle that is filtered through all aspects of Summertown’s corporate philosophy.
Van. T. Tran, representative for the UAE Business Council for Sustainable Development commented, “Summertown has impressive commitments and achievements in terms of sustainable business practices. We are delighted to see that a company within the interiors field can be pro-active in promoting the sustainable development in different manners from the product, through their process, to the planning and training of its employees.
We are glad to welcome Summertown in the UAE Business Council for Sustainable Development, as a PEARL member 2011.”
