Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (Taqa) has released its first annual sustainable development report which outlines the firm’s approach and performance in 2012.

Besides this, the report also discusses the goals for workplace health and safety, staff development, environmental protection, community relations and industry partnerships.

The report, entitled “Our contribution to sustainable development – Report 2012”, reinforces Taqa’s commitment to creating value for the long-term future while acting responsibly, protecting its employees, being active in the community, minimising the impact on the environment and remaining the partner of choice in its chosen markets through trusting relationships with business and governmental partners.

Vice-chairman Abdulla Saif Al Nuaimi said: “It gives me great pleasure to see Taqa integrate these key sustainability drivers into the organisation’s strategy and at the same time supporting sustainable development reporting in Abu Dhabi. This report is crucial to achieving its long-term goals through its support of the Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030.”

Taqa is Abu Dhabi’s premier international energy and water operator, a position which it has attained by being an excellent neighbour and always striving for excellence, he added.
