AADC launched a rationalization
manual titled “for a sustainable
future,” through its participation
in the events of the fourth round
of the National Show for Societal
Awareness
and
Humanitarian
Services, “Taweya 2014,” held
in Abu Dhabi National Exhibition
Centre (ADNEC). This participation
targets raising ecological awareness
and
spreading
rationalization
culture among the different society
categories, and changing individual
behavior in a way that conforms to
optimum use of power. It also targets
communication with all society
institutions due to the importance
of having every individual and every
institution perceive the duties and
responsibilities of each towards
their homeland, and of conservation
of resources from waste.
The rationalization manual
for a sustainable future was
launched for the visitors of the
show and for school students
through the AADC corner in the
pavilion of Abu Dhabi Water and
Electricity Authority (ADWEA), and
it was distributed in both Arabic
and English languages. The manual
included ways to rationalize water
and electricity consumption at
different sites, like homes, gardens,
swimming
pools,
government
buildings, factories, trade centre
and mosques. It also involved
explanation about the energy-saving
appliances which contribute to the
process of rationalization when
installed, besides illustration of the
specifications of green buildings
and thermal insulation, and its
advantages.
AADCparticipated in several
initiatives that aim at enhancing
its social responsibility toward
environment through the project
sorting and recycling of waste
paper, which aims at encouraging
the company employees to dispose
of recyclable waste in a safe manner
of benefit to environment. Therefore,
recycling containers were placed
in the different sections of the
company.
AADC also implemented the “green
bill” or “electronic, paperless billing
system,” which is an electronic
copy of the conventional paper bill
that is received by customers via
their email accounts. It is meant to
preserve natural resources and to
promote customers’ satisfaction.
For, the company encourages
its customers to benefit from the
electronic services it provides and
to acquaint with the ways of using it.
AADC also participates
in international occasions and
annual events with the purpose
of disseminating its awareness-
raising and water and electricity
rationalization message. Therefore,
it regularly participates in annual
organization of events relating to
World Water Day and international
Earth Hour initiatives, with the
purpose of spreading the culture
of ecological awareness and
preservation of planet earth against
climatic changes. Indeed, the Earth
Hour is one of the most important
annual initiatives in which AADC
participates to raise the community
awareness and draw their attention
to environment and energy issues.
AADC also participates in Desert
Clean-up initiatives with the purpose
of raising the community awareness
about the importance of maintaining
cleanness of desert areas, given the
negative impact of throwing waste
at places not assigned for waste
collection. This is encountered
through increase in awareness
about the dangers of pollution.
