The new partnership, sealed with a memorandum of understanding, will focus on boosting energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. A joint task force will guide key efforts, including a study to find the ideal energy mix for Alba’s operations and the creation of a unified ESG framework.

Alba chief executive officer Ali Al Baqali said, “This MoU with Derasat is a testament to Alba’s unwavering commitment to sustainability and innovation. By combining our industrial expertise with Derasat’s research capabilities, we are laying the groundwork for transformative ESG initiatives that will not only benefit Alba but also contribute to Bahrain’s national goals.”
