Deep Injection Well Project

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. Most environmental engineering professionals consider waste water treatment followed by disposal through injection wells to be the most cost effective and environmentally responsible method of waste water treatment.

Reduce Program

In 2012 HSBC launched the ‘Reduce Program’ to reduce our annual carbon emissions by about a third per employee by 2020. As well reducing our overall impact on the environment, the Reduce Program supports our wider businesses strategy of eliminating complexity and inefficiency.  

International Family Fun Day

During this k-12 community event the school Eco-Council will be visibly present and collecting all plastic bottles and one-time use vendor plastic containers in a designated area.  As the plastics pile up the images will kick start conversations about waste and the impact of our plastic footprint. PHd students from Hamid Bin Khalifa University will be collaborating and spreading word about “Life-Cycle Thinking” and the the Qatar Foundation newsroom will also be on hand to capture our eco stories.
