EGA accepted the recognition from Dr Shaikha Al Dhaheri, Secretary-General of the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD), in a ceremony at the agency’s headquarter in Abu Dhabi, in presence of Mariam bin Mohammed Almheiri, Minister of Climate Change and the Environment.

On receiving the recognition, Abdulnasser Bin Kalban, Chief Executive Officer of EGA, said: "Aluminium plays an essential role in the development of a more sustainable society and, at EGA, we fully recognise that it also matters how sustainably aluminium is made. We are committed to embedding sustainability in everything we do and aim to be a sustainability leader not just in the UAE but for our global industry. We thank Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi for this recognition for our performance so far on this ongoing journey."

EGA was the first company in the Middle East to join the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative. In 2019, EGA’s Al Taweelah site achieved the ASI’s Performance Standard Initiative, followed by Jebel Ali site’s achievement in 2021.

In 2021, EGA emerged as the world’s first aluminium producing company commercially using solar power and market it under the product name CelestiAL.

EGA’s next plan is to build the largest aluminium recycling facility in the UAE, with 150,000 tonnes of billet capacity. Feasibility studies of the project are already underway, with expected commissioning year 2024. In addition, the company is planning to build a pilot plant in Al Taweelah to convert bauxite residue into manufactured soil products.
