Controlling fires is a complex and evolving science based on a remarkably simple equation. A fire requires fuel, heat and oxygen to begin and, without all three, cannot sustain itself. Exploiting this equation is the key to the wide range of techniques to avoid, suppress and mitigate fires, though each also has consequences for the clean-up operation.

Isnaad uses environmentally responsible cleaning products wherever possible, with more than 90 percent bearing an Ecolabel. It’s part of a commitment to sustainability across both Isnaad and its parent group Imdaad. Using such products has some challenges but has proven a worthwhile effort.

Imdaad is proud to be one of the first companies to switch heavy goods vehicles to run on compressed natural gas. It’s another example of the company’s commitment to environmental sustainability without compromising performance. It’s working alongside Emirates Transport, a company that uses various sustainable vehicle management measures including an innovative dry car wash technology that saves tens of millions of litres of water each year.

Staff training should not be a one-and-done induction activity. Imdaad’s cleaning subsidiary Isnaad practices continuous training to help staff thrive and excel in their working lives. This commitment is one of the key reasons Isnaad recently won a major industry award.

Robotics and automation are certainly gaining a foothold in the sector, with efficiency, consistency, and quality among the key benefits.

28th April is World Day for Safety and Health at Work, the UN’s annual awareness-raising event. The sheer variety of human roles and equipment involved in facilities management means that health and safety standards are vital in our industry.

Electronic waste (e-waste) is created when we throw away electronic devices that no longer work or serve our needs. As well as wasting precious resources, e-waste creates significant environmental challenges. Effective e-waste management requires a shift in mindset and opportunities, and an expansion of e-waste recycling services, along the lines of the facilities that Imdaad already provides.

Imdaad is a leading facilities management company in Dubai that is committed to sustainability. It has strengthened this commitment by launching the Istimidah Framework: A clear structure to inform and influence every element of Imdaad’s business so that it never loses focus on sustainability.
