Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA)’s Innovation Centre and TÜV Rheinland Academy launched the first cycle of the Sustainability Manager Professional Certification Program.
The program aims to develop skills in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and sustainability management in various specializations in natural sciences, business, or related areas. Participants can improve their sustainability performance and achieve the desired strategies and goals.
The program focuses on several aspects, including the development of effective sustainability management; responsible supply chain management; lifecycle and carbon footprint; sustainability strategy and its anchoring in the organization; significance, value, and opportunities of sustainability reporting; and the essentials for preparing sustainability reports.
After completing the training and evaluation, participants will receive a professional certificate, as per the statement.
“DEWA adopts a well-thought-out roadmap to implement all sustainability measures. Environmental practices are a key pillar to meet DEWA’s commitment to leadership as a global organization. DEWA is keen to achieve the environmental, social, and economic aspects of sustainability,” Al Tayer added.
“TÜV Middle East, the global initiative behind the Sustainability Management certification program, supports the UAE’s Green Agenda – 2030, which is a long-term plan to achieve the goals of sustainable development in the UAE and make its economy more environment-friendly. Our training will support participants in learning important aspects of sustainability management in business and will enable them to make informed decisions and act responsibly. We are grateful to cooperate with DEWA’s Innovation Centre to enhance professional competencies and provide the globally-recognized Sustainability Management certificate to participants after they pass their evaluation,” said Fares Naouri, CEO of TÜV Rheinland Academy.
