Awareness for Sustainability

We base our core Business Strategy around the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), placing our business model in line with a global imperative to ‘leave no one behind’. We have selected three goals on which we will focus our improvement initiatives between 2020 and 2025. These are the goals we consider to be most material both to our business strategy and activities, but also in relation to our stakeholders. These goals are A) Affordable and Clean Energy; B)Sustainable Cities and Communities; and C) Climate Action.

At Marafeq, we believe that waste is a valuable resource that needs to be managed in a sustainable manner, with an integrated approach. This ensures that potential resources are not wasted but reused or recycled, thereby creating fewer impacts on our already fragile natural resources.

We adopt a closed-loop approach, and it is our mission to divert waste from the landfills using a resource recovery system.
