كجزء من أسبوع الاستدامة في قطر، نعمل على إشراك الأطفال في دورة الزراعة وأهمية الاهتمام ببيئتنا. من خلال التجارب العملية مثل زرع البذور، استكشاف التربة، المشاركة في الخبرات الحسية، ومراقبة النباتات الصغيرة، سيطوّر الأطفال تقديرًا عميقًا للطبيعة. تعمل هذه الخبرات على غرس قيم الرعاية والمسؤولية وتعاليم الإسلام حول الوعي البيئي.

BIRLASPHERE (school Eco Club) members grow vegetable and flowering plants in the school kitchen garden 

At the German International School Doha, our kindergarten children and School Garden Club come together to grow more than just plants – they grow curiosity, care, and a love for nature. The children plant seeds and water their vegetable beds every day while observing how their food grows naturally. Through this hands-on experience, they learn about the cycles of nature, take responsibility for the environment, and discover the joy of sustainable living.

Purpose:
To engage employees in meaningful conversations about sustainability and encourage creative expression through impactful slogans that reflect our commitment to environmental responsibility.

These smart lights automatically adjust based on occupancy, helping to reduce unnecessary energy use. This step not only promotes sustainability but also ensures we actively prevent energy waste, contributing to a greener and more efficient workplace.

Paperless Awareness Initiative

We are launching a comprehensive paperless awareness program for all staff to promote the adoption of digital practices across every process.

Thanks to the initial implementation of this initiative in the Production department, we are already saving around 2,500 sheets of paper each month—a significant stride towards sustainability and increased operational efficiency.

A comprehensive housekeeping drive will be conducted across the office and factory premises, involving all staff members to uphold high standards of hygiene. This initiative supports our commitment to fostering sustainable environmental practices.
