It’s therefore critical that we prioritise initiatives that will encourage a reduce, reuse, recycle approach in our tenants and residents. One such initiative is our 2019 Ibtikar challenge, which resulted in the installation of a composting machine at Yas Mall to transform food waste into fertiliser and consequently reduce CO2 emissions and landfill waste. Within our communities, awareness-raising campaigns are designed to help achieve our goal of eliminating single-use plastics, while our retail portfolio has seen the establishment of our successful Green Tenant Awards. Provis commits to eliminating single-use plastics across its managed communities Tackling single-use plastics across our managed portfolio is embedded in Aldar’s commitment to making a difference to the environment. On UAE’s Environment Day, Provis pledged to eliminate single-use plastics from its offices and common areas within the communities it manages. This includes plastic bottles, packaging plastics, polythene bags, cups, straws, spoons and more. As part of the initiative, Provis will install plastic recycling vending machines enabling residents living across Provis managed communities to insert plastic materials into the machines in exchange for incentives. This is expected to increase recycling from households by 10%. The company is also conducting community awareness campaigns to reduce plastic consumption. Green Tenant Awards The Environment Team at Yas Mall has been running Green Tenant Awards since 2017. These awards recognise tenants that are going the extra mile to reduce, reuse and recycle their waste, whilst inspiring other tenants and mall visitors to adopt more sustainable practices. In 2020, despite the challenges of COVID-19, our team and our tenants were more committed than ever to proceed with the much-anticipated Tenant Awards, in categories such as waste, recycling and pest control. We were pleased to recognise five tenants for their outstanding approach to waste management and recycling, and five tenants who went the extra mile to embed robust pest management control systems.
