Aamal Readymix wins ‘First International Qatar Sustainability Award’

Aamal Readymix, a branch of Aamal Company, has been awarded the ‘First International Qatar Sustainability Award 2016’ by the Qatar Green Building Council (QGBC).
The award recognises Aamal Readymix’s contribution to green and sustainable design in the development of concrete under the ‘Green building material and green concrete’ categories.
The Qatar Sustainability Awards aim to honour the commitment, effort, and contribution of both companies and individuals in the field of sustainable development and environmental protection in Qatar and beyond. The awards also accept nominations from various categories within the requirements and trends of the green building and sustainability industries.
The winners were selected following a detailed review of the nominations by an expert panel of judges comprising senior sustainability experts, academics, and other industry practitioners.  
Meshal al-Shamari, director, QGBC, said that the collective efforts of these organisations, which are active members of Qatar’s sustainability industry, are advancing the Qatar National Vision 2030. “These awards serve to raise sustainability awareness and encourage the wider industry to do their part and work towards building a ‘greener’ future”.
For more than two decades, Aamal Readymix has recognised that business needs society as much as society needs business, and that operating in a socially responsible way is key to operating in local communities. Within this context, Aamal Readymix is actively participating in a number of initiatives, and has made important contributions in the field of sustainable development and environmental protection.
Accepting the award, Parveez Aslam, general manager, Aamal Readymix, said, “It was a great honour to participate in the Qatar Sustainability Awards and receiving the first award is a strong endorsement of our commitment to sustainable development. Our nomination was the result of our continuous efforts in maintaining a green environment while using advanced products and technologies.
Aamal Readymix is making great strides toward sustainability and green buildings, from initial design concepts that incorporate low-impact building materials, to using more energy efficient equipment, reducing construction site waste and practicing inter-company sustainability”.
