Gerab’s Sustainability Vision

As a global leader in bulk piping solutions, Gerab National Enterprises integrates sustainability into our business operations. In a constantly evolving energy landscape, all successful players are actively seeking to reduce their environmental impact while ensuring long-term efficiency. We embrace this responsibility and have introduced significant initiatives to boost sustainability across our facilities and supply chains. Through renewable energy, resource optimization, and partnerships with industry leaders in environmental management, we are making tangible progress toward a greener future.

Key Sustainability Initiatives at Gerab

Solar Energy – Reducing Carbon Emissions

We have invested in a state-of-the-art solar power capacity in our Dubai HQ, installing solar panels in the parking area. This initiative cuts annual CO₂ emissions by 600,000 kg annually, significantly reducing the company’s carbon footprint. These panels generate clean energy while also providing shade and protection for vehicles, improving both efficiency and sustainability.

Wastewater Treatment – 100% Reuse Commitment

All wastewater from Gerab’s Jebel Ali facility is fully treated and recycled, ensuring zero waste discharge. We collaborate with local facility management firms to process wastewater efficiently. In the Gulf region, where water is a scarce resource, such initiatives contribute to conservation efforts. By prioritizing water sustainability, we are helping to safeguard the region’s water supply.

Comprehensive Waste Recycling Program

We have an active recycling program for paper, plastic, and other materials through certified recycling schemes. This structured waste management approach reduces landfill contributions and supports the circular economy.

Quality Control

Whilst not a headline-grabbing initiative, the strict quality and process control measures that we put in place to ensure standards are upheld have a big impact on sustainability. It means that waste is reduced, repairs are less frequent and products and equipment do not need to be replaced due to faults. This reinforces our view that efficiency and quality lead to more sustainable outcomes.

Certifications and Compliance

Gerab’s sustainability efforts align with globally recognized certifications, reinforcing our commitment to environmental and safety standards:

  • ISO 14001:2015 – Environmental Management Systems
  • ISO 45001:2018 – Occupational Health and Safety
  • ISO 50001:2018 – Energy Management Systems

Gaining these credentials demonstrates to employees and partners that our dedication to responsible business practices, environmental stewardship, and workplace safety is genuine and rooted in our company culture.

Gerab’s Role in Green Energy Projects

Beyond internal sustainability measures, we are a key supplier for renewable energy and environmental projects. The company provides materials for:

  • Green Hydrogen Projects – Green hydrogen, produced using renewable energy, has the potential to revolutionize the energy sector as a clean alternative to fossil fuels. Gerab supports infrastructure development in this sector, including major projects that we have supplied in the USA such as hydrogen plants in Sweeny, Texas, and Convent, Louisiana, contributing to a shared, low-carbon future.
  • Wastewater Treatment Plants – Industrial and municipal wastewater treatment ensures clean and reusable water. By supplying materials for these projects in countries across the region like Kuwait, Qatar, UAE and KSA, we help to reduce pollution and promote water conservation, which is essential in arid regions like the Gulf.
  • Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) – CCS technology captures CO₂ emissions from industrial processes, preventing them from entering the atmosphere. Gerab’s involvement in high-profile projects in the UAE (Habshan) and Saudi Arabia (Aramco) supports climate change mitigation and cleaner energy solutions.
  • Hydropower Initiatives – Hydropower generates electricity from moving water, providing a renewable energy source. Our contribution to hydropower projects aim to advance the transition to low-carbon power generation.

While progress in these sectors is ongoing, the company remains committed to supporting the global shift toward sustainable energy solutions.

Gerab’s Future Sustainability Goals

We are committed to expanding our sustainability initiatives in the coming period through:

  • Increasing the use of renewable energy.
  • Strengthening supply chain sustainability and decarbonization.
  • Investing in innovative technologies to further reduce its environmental impact.

At Gerab National Enterprises, we always seek to lead by example and drive industry-wide sustainability.

The company believes that sustainability is a shared responsibility. As we advance our green initiatives, we encourage industry partners, customers, and stakeholders to collaborate on sustainable projects. Together, we can build a more resilient and environmentally responsible energy sector.
