Eco-Efficiency Across Locations

We've implemented "Clever Energy Management" in over 400 sites, including stores, offices, and warehouses across the region.This technology-driven approach has resulted in savings equivalent to powering 12,500 homes for one year. We're committed to achieving 100% coverage and further optimizing the footprint of our stores.

Our agile approach allows us to scale this up to 30% as regulations evolve quickly.

Waste Reduction and Recycling

We're reducing waste across various fronts, from efficient inventory management and portion control to sustainable ingredients.Our commitment to recycling is evident through initiatives like the e-waste recycling campaign by Dubai Municipality in the UAE, and our efforts to extend packaging recycling practices to all our markets.
