How can sustainable strategies impact your business?

Pwc Middle East released its Global Consumer Insight for 2022 and found that 60% of Middle East consumers consider themselves more eco-friendly, while 68% of Middle East respondents say they purchase all or most of the time from companies with strong values.

Build Dubai is proud to align with the ongoing efforts by the UAE Government to promote sustainable communities and business practices

Nordic Homeworx is now a part of The with Build Dubai with plans to:

· Limit and gradually eliminate the printing of project documentation (including drafts for internal review).

· Charge a fee for paper submittals and donate the proceeds to e.g. the One Billion Tree Planting Initiative.

· Be part of round table events to raise awareness among our employees and industry players about the impact of printing on the environment.
