Dubal supports Earth Hour for fifth consecutive year

Dubai Aluminium strives continuously to minimise the impact of its operations on the environment by implementing advanced technologies and adhering to strict operating standards.

For example, conserving energy is a top priority at Dubal: the company constantly innovates to identify new opportunities to reduce energy consumption or improve energy efficiency of its operations. The company also supports international, regional and local initiatives and campaigns whose objectives reflect the Dubal's own ambition of "Zero Harm to People and the Environment."

Accordingly, Dubal is not only a registered supporter of Earth Hour, but will also again participate actively in Earth Hour 2013, which takes place from 8:30pm to 9:30pm on Saturday March 23.

"For the fifth year in a row, we will switch off all unnecessary lights, air conditioners, office computers and other non-vital equipment in a united stand with millions of people across the world," said Abdulla Kalban (President '&' CEO). He adds that, being a 24-7 operation, the Dubal plant cannot be switched off on an ad hoc basis.

However, certain non-critical items can be turned off temporarily without compromising individual safety and/or plant security; or affecting production and plant efficiencies. Individual operating departments within Dubal have identified these items, which will be de-activated for the duration of Earth Hour 2013.
