ristar’s Management Team drives a ‘Business for Purpose’ ethos which focuses on having a positive impact on the communities where it operates. The company has set a goal to decrease its dependence on fossil fuels and has initiated several projects to reduce its environmental impact across its operations. Some of these green initiatives include waste water treatment, EURO IV technology, green buildings, a biodiesel study and a rooftop solar project.

Waste Water Treatment In order to address the safe management and disposal of hazardous waste water generated at its operations, Tristar has installed two Effluent Treatment Plants (ETP) at its offices in Dubai. The ETPs recycle the waste water to a standard that can be reused within the facility and irrigation, thereby reducing the use of freshwater. In 2019, 2.4 million imperial gallons of waste water was safely treated by the two ETPs.
EURO IV Technology Tristar operates over 100 new vehicles in compliance with the European Emission Standard (Euro) IV. This standard defines the acceptable exhaust emission limits for vehicles sold across the globe. The Euro ratings impose stringent regulations on emission limits from the respective vehicle. The emission standards for vehicles, trucks and buses are defined by engine energy output in g/kWh.
