Muscat – Marafiq won the prestigious Integrated Utilities company of the year award at the World Economic News Network’s Sustainability Innovation Award 2023.

This award recognition that identifies sustainability-focused innovative projects in the Middle East validates Marafiq’s ambitious ESG (environmental, social and governance) strategy aimed at enabling Oman’s vision for a sustainable future.

With its state-of-the-art water network management in Duqm Special Economic Zone, Marafiq achieved an unprecedented non-revenue water loss rate of just 9.1% – one of the lowest globally. What makes it even more impressive is that the loss percentage in water networks worldwide is around 20% and in some cases even reaches 35%, causing severe economic and environmental losses.

The glorious award ceremony held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) celebrated Marafiq’s commitment to optimize precious water resources in pursuit of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, Oman Vision 2040, and the Sultanate’s net zero targets for 2050.
