With the objective of reducing waste and protecting the environment, Facilities Management and Maintenance Company has implemented one week with no paper cups at the Head Office, Al Sharif Tower. Employees supported this initiative by bringing their own reusable cups, tumblers and china mugs for their use. FMM is in one with Qatar Green Building Council in promoting sustainability projects and activities.
In support of the Qatar Sustainability Week (October 26 – November 2) Ali Bin Ali Holding will switch off all lights in the Ali Bin Ali Tower for 2 hours every day (9pm to 11pm) for the entire week. This includes all lights inside & outside the building.
According to research, commercial and residential energy use is the second most rapidly growing area of global energy use after transport. The 'Lights-out' campaign is our humble effort to raise awareness about conserving energy and a reminder about the potential threat out planet is facing.
