Supporting Corporate Sustainability & ESG Goals

At AFJ Events, we recognize the growing importance of sustainability in corporate event planning and are committed to delivering eco-conscious, cost-effective, and socially responsible event solutions. Our sustainability framework aligns with corporate sustainability reporting (ESG – Environmental, Social, and Governance) requirements, supporting businesses in meeting their sustainability commitments and regulatory compliance obligations.

As a UAE-based company, our practices are structured in accordance with:
✅ UAE Net Zero by 2050 Strategy

✅ Dubai Municipality Waste Management Regulations
✅ UAE Federal Law No. 12 of 2018 on Integrated Waste Management

Our sustainability efforts contribute directly to corporate ESG strategies, ensuring that every event we manage supports our clients’ environmental, social, and governance commitments.

1. Environmental Responsibility (E in ESG)

Resource Conservation & Reuse

We actively reduce resource consumption by repurposing event materials, décor, and furniture. This approach:
✔ Minimizes production-related carbon emissions
✔ Reduces procurement costs for clients
✔ Supports the circular economy in the UAE’s events industry

Waste Management & Recycling

AFJ Events follows a zero-waste-to-landfill policy where possible, ensuring responsible disposal of:
🔹 MDF, plywood, used furniture, and event décor
🔹 Surplus food & beverages from events
🔹 General event waste, sorted for recycling and landfill reduction

We comply with Dubai Municipality’s Integrated Waste Management Plan and prioritize the use of non-hazardous, recyclable materials wherever feasible.

Carbon Footprint Reduction

Our sustainability-driven operational model helps companies reduce Scope 3 emissions, which are associated with supply chain sustainability in ESG reporting.
