Initiatives

With our commitment to the environment, our office is adopting the following practices, some of which already in action, to promote sustainability and Qatar vision 2030:

Employees will participate in growing their own plants, by planting the seeds in small pots and place it on their individual desks.

Pots will be used from recycled materials to reduce waste.

Plants will help improve the indoor air quality and increase employees productivity and satisfaction.

We at Ginger Camel believes in investing for a sustainable environment, that is why we made a choice to share a ride with our colleagues everyday going to work, and back to our homes. It was a little sacrifice that we had give, but little did we know we are not just minimizing car emissions in Doha, it also gives us an opportunity to get to know the people we worked with even more⁠. It is a mixture of feeling good about doing something right while also enjoying the people who share the same belief and care for the environment with you.

We have already executed Beach Clean up last week that involved all of our staff members (can share pics). We've decided to place notes over all power switches (lights and AC), our office temperature is set to 21C (and we try to avoid using AC during cooler months), we also moved to water from dispenser (offering clients 'glass of water' instead of bottles), staff members living close by to each other have started doing car pooling.

In addition to last years initiative, Naufar is now showing even greater commitment by segregating organic waste and following the Baladyia led initiatives for even more detailed segregation.

An internal communication campaign has been launched in parallel to emphasize the importance of waste management on the environment.

Naufar is constructing a water polishing plant in order to reduce use of potable water and raise its own usage level of TSE (Treated Sewage Effluent).

In order to reduce the strain on the National Waste Water System, Naufar is installing an independent solution by drilling a deep injection well on its premises. By injecting this waste water into the ground between impermeable layers of rocks on our premises we are avoiding the pollution of Qatar's scarce fresh water supplies.

·        Reduce Using small resources in the first place. It takes resources to manufacture, transport, and dispose of products, so reduction minimizes the use of new resources.

We employees are provided with ceramic cups and drinking glasses to be used instead of plastic bottles. We are also serving drink on non-plastic materials for our guests.

We are a start-up and we want to start it right! Helping sustain the environment while educating ourselves how to be disciplined citizens and residents by mindfully utilising our resources is the best way to manage our day to day business. We practice switching off office equipment that are not in use, no printing for internal communications, using double-sided printing, if necessary, we donate to charity, using AC at 22-23 degrees Celcius, and use of glasses instead of bottled waters at work and at our respective homes.
