The Oman Sustainability Week Awards, held on Sunday at W Hotel Muscat, was presided over by the chief guest H H Sayyid Dr Fahad Bin al Julanda al Said, vice-chancellor at Sultan Qaboos University.

The awards marked the commencement of a week-long initiative that comprises an expansive exhibition, a thought leadership summit, a conference and various site visits.

Commenting on the awards, Shaikh Mohammed Sulaiman al Harthy, executive vice president-strategic development, be’ah, said, “The Oman Sustainability Week Awards is an industry-first platform that recognises the organisations that have demonstrated their unfaltering commitment to sustainability and set themselves apart from competitors. Leading by example, these organisations have not only paved the way for others to follow but have also shown how sustainable practices are essential for long-term growth.”
