projects and is currently managing many major projects aiming for various green certifications. Nesma & Partners also monitors carbon footprint and energy consumption and develops reduction strategies. Recently, we installed a hybrid system for our offices in one of our NEOM projects. We generated 23 Kwp to cover the office’s energy requirement and reduce our carbon footprint.

> Water Conservation: conserving water as one of the natural resources is one of our main goals at our facilities. Using low-flow fixtures helps us to achieve our goals. Moreover, we are using our expertise to help our clients to build greener buildings. In one of our design and build projects, the water saved 88% of the annual potable water use by providing efficient water fixtures and Greywater systems for indoor water flushing.

> Sustainable Materials: Nesma & Partners’ local supplier development program aims to foster economic growth and support the local community by partnering with and nurturing local suppliers. Through this program, we identify and engage with potential suppliers within the region, providing them with guidance, resources, and training to enhance their capabilities and competitiveness. By promoting local sourcing, we contribute to developing a robust local supply chain, creating job opportunities, and stimulating economic development. This program reflects our commitment to social responsibility and sustainable business practices while strengthening our relationships with local partners and suppliers.

> Biodiversity Preservation: During Nesma & Partners’ work at one of our infrastructure projects in NEOM, 45,000 cubic meters of soil were preserved by implementing proper erosion control measures. This preservation has not only protected the natural habitat and biodiversity but also contributed to the long-term viability of the project site by maintaining the soil’s nutrient content and moisture retention capacity. Additionally, the soil was reused on the project to reinstate the various temporary quarries.

Nesma & Partners also ensures the creation and monitoring of its impact on the social and community of our sustainability efforts, including community engagement, local employment, and social contributions. In addition, it monitors the participation and effectiveness of our employees’ training and engagement programs to ensure that our employees are knowledgeable and engaged in sustainability practices.
