The ‘Green Industries’ environmental labelling programme launched by Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi involves granting a ‘green’ environmental label to those organisations that comply with environmental regulations. The programme aims to build mutually supportive partnerships to enhance and appreciate industrial facilities’ contribution to environmental protection.

The ‘Green Industries’ environmental labelling programme encourages industrial facilities to find innovative pollution control solutions and apply best environmental practices leading to an increase in environmental compliance levels across all sectors.

The programme will award facilities, a ‘Green Industries’ label based on the following:

1. the demand-side management of resources, which looks to rationalise consumption, while considering the optimal use of energy and preservation of resources
2. pollution reduction from primary and secondary operations
3. entities, that in the view of EAD, have an impeccable history of compliance with EAD requirements
4. an assessment category that distinguishes novel and innovative approaches by entities to protect the environment, promote economic growth, and enhance the quality of life for Abu Dhabi’s residents.
