• Emirates Stallions Group employees participated in the Mangrove Restoration on Umm Yifenah Island, aiming to enhance biodiversity and combat climate effects as part of the wider Abu Dhabi Mangrove Initiative

Abu Dhabi, UAE: Emirates Stallions Group (ADX: ESG), a multifaceted group based in Abu Dhabi leading in Manpower Supply, Staff & Workers Accommodation solutions, actively investing in and operating diverse businesses, developing luxury living spaces, public realms, hospitality and real estate projects and retail services locally and internationally, and a subsidiary of International Holding Company (ADX: IHC), have participated, along with employees from the group’s subsidiaries, in the restoration of mangroves at Umm Yifenah Island.

The event, part of a series of similar activities, aligns with the broader Abu Dhabi Mangrove Initiative. It saw ESG team members, equipped with seedlings and spades, collaborated in the planting of mangroves at Umm Yifenah Island, making a direct contribution to the island's environmental conservation efforts.

The Abu Dhabi Mangrove Initiative was originally launched by Nature for Environmental and Agricultural Solutions. ESG has consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to biodiversity and sustainability, actively supporting the conservation of the emirate's most vulnerable natural ecosystems.

Kayed Khorma, CEO of ESG, said: “Participating in this mangrove restoration project underscores our unwavering dedication to advancing sustainability within the UAE, aligning with the nation’s extended Year of Sustainability. This initiative not only contributes to mitigating the adverse effects of climate change, but also provides substantial benefits to our community and country. The event was a powerful ESG team building activity that enriched our collective understanding of environmental challenges and demonstrated a strong commitment to steering our community towards a more sustainable and resilient future.”

The project marks a significant milestone in Emirates Stallions Group's ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable development. Through initiatives such as these, ESG not only supports the ecological health of Abu Dhabi but also reinforces its role as a leader in corporate responsibility.
