DESS Community Garden Opening

Formal opening of the DESS Community Garden – a garden which serves as an educational resource to the pupils of Doha English Speaking School (DESS) as well as the wider community of Qatar. The garden is made from 95% recycled materials, uses renewable sources of energy (solar and wind) to power features of the garden and captures data for environmental research for use by DESS pupils and the wider community in Qatar. This is a closed event and is by invitation only.

KPMG in Qatar reduce reuse recycle initiative

At KPMG in Qatar, we have decided to launch a year-long programme to encourage better environmental practices across the firm. This will focus on the "reduce reuse recycle" messaging. 

We would like to launch the programme to tie-in with QSW (with your permission). We are starting with an internal campaign focused on paper use on 28 October to raise awareness amongst staff and encourage behaviour change. We are also hoping to engage a recycling firm to help us manage our paper waste by this time. 

Staff Cafeteria Laws

Throughout the course of the week we will be displaying notices in our staff cafeteria showcasing messages about minimizing food wastage and how they should only take so much food on their plate as they can eat.

We will also ban the use of disposable cups and crockery for the week in the premises so that we avoid wastage generation.
