This new partnership comes as a result of
Majid Al Futtaim’s group-wide Net Positive
ambitious objectives to reduce its businesses’
water consumption and carbon emissions to
the extent that the group puts more back into
the environment than it takes out.
Enova, a joint venture between Majid Al
Futtaim and global leader in optimised
resource management, Veolia, boasts a track
record of being at the forefront of industry
innovation and ability to offer integrated
smart solutions to customers.
Hani Weiss, Chief Executive Officer, Majid
Al Futtaim Retail, said: “Our sustainability
ambitions required a strategic partner that
can bring the latest solutions to achieve
optimum efficiency and end user comfort.
“The signing with Enova reflects our
ongoing commitment to our business
sustainability and to the communities in
which we operate.”
Anne Le Guennec, Chief Executive
Officer, Enova, added: “Majid Al Futtaim
has already recognised the criticality of
corporate environmental stewardship and
the company’s vision is perhaps the most
ambitious in the region.
“Our unique integrated offering seamlessly
combines energy and facilities management,
creating win-win situations which
concurrently reduce the environmental
impact and operating costs. We look forward
to helping our colleagues at Majid Al Futtaim
Retail optimise both.” n
