Futurescaper Middle East is excited to announce the Sustainability 2040 Awards, in collaboration with Khaleej Times. Nominations are open until October 3. All industries are invited to participate, with the awards ceremony set for December 18.
After the success of its Indian chapter and the respected GMEA program, the Sustainability 2040 Awards by Futurescaper Middle East aim to honor companies making significant progress in sustainability and the 17 SDGs across the Middle East. This initiative supports Dubai’s vision for 2040 to become the world’s most sustainable city.
Vikas Lath, director of Futurescaper, stated: “Dubai is rapidly transforming into a global leader in sustainable practices and technological innovation. Now is the time to assess your business’s sustainability maturity, identify key strengths, and enhance practices to maintain a competitive edge.”
The Awards employ a thorough evaluation using the 4P Model: People, Purpose, Planet, and Partnership. This framework evaluates crucial areas like Sustainable Business & Finance, Green Energy, Safety & Infrastructure, and more, using over 200 checkpoints on a 1,200-point scale.
