Aamal shows leadership in the worldwide efforts to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change, by reducing our carbon emissions. As Aamal operates in an energy intensive sector, therefore, we concentrate our efforts to reduce energy consumption and implement initiatives that positively impact the environment.

As global climate concerns intensify, businesses must take decisive action to reduce their energy footprint and emissions. At Aamal, we continue to make strategic investments in energy efficiency, clean energy, and operational improvements to enhance sustainability while maintaining business excellence.

Improving energy efficiency remains a core focus for Aamal’s sustainability framework given the energy-intensive nature of our core business activities. In 2024, several measures were made across the different businesses we operate to optimize energy efficiency.

Aamal Cement Industries (ACI) successfully met its annual reduction targets for energy and GHG emissions. These achievements reflect its continuous commitment to resource optimization and operational sustainability

Similarly, Aamal Readymix incorporates GGBFS, Fly Ash, and Silica Fume which reduces reliance on traditional cement, lowering carbon emissions and enhancing concrete durability

At City Center Doha, substantial efforts have been made to modernize energy systems. The entire shopping mall transitioned to LED heat-source lighting fixtures, significantly reducing energy demand. Beyond lighting upgrades, City Center Doha implemented an advanced Chiller Optimization System, dynamically adjusting temperature settings throughout the day to reduce unnecessary energy consumption.

Ebn Sina Medical has also taken steps in energy conservation. In its warehouse operations, the company replaced 400-watt metal halide lamps with 200-watt LED lights. Process innovations have also played a role in the improvements.

Aamal Medical improved energy efficiency during its office maintenance upgrades, replacing outdated lighting with 200-watt LED fixtures.

Aamal Readymix has integrated solar power at its Bu-Qalila Factory, where lighting and some office equipment now operate on solar energy

APC has outlined a future roadmap to integrate solar energy into selected plant operations, demonstrating a long-term commitment to renewable energy adoption.

In 2024, the total energy consumption amounted to 140,608,010 kWh, with a primary focus on electricity usage. With indirect energy consumption constituting to 67% of the total consumption

Having water-intensive industries in Aamal’s portfolio we recognize the importance of water conservation, as such, Aamal subsidiaries have made efforts to optimize water use and introducing recycling solutions to reduce consumption. In response, its subsidiaries have implemented measures to optimize water use and introduce recycling solutions to minimize consumption.

ACI has a dedicated water filtration system that processes residual water from the wet press operation, allowing 30% of the water in an operation to be recycled and reused. This initiative significantly reduces freshwater consumption in production activities.

Whereas Aamal Readymix implements closed-loop water recycling systems within its batching plants, ensuring that water is continuously reclaimed and reused for cleaning transit mixer drums and other process activities. Aamal Readymix recycled 6,237 m3 of wastewater in 2024, marking an 11% increase from the previous year.

APC has introduced the reuse of recycled water in its production processes, particularly for milling machine operations, which has led to reductions in both water consumption and operational costs. Through waste reduction, recycling programs, and water conservation efforts, Aamal is continuously refining its approach to sustainable resource management.

With initiatives such as recycling non-conforming products, repurposing materials, and optimizing water reuse, we are ensuring that our operations contribute to a circular economy while minimizing environmental impact.
