AFED Corporate Utility Survey 2009
Background

At a groundbreaking Corporate Environmental Responsibility Summit, convened in Abu Dhabi on November 29, 2007, and attended by over 120 chief executives representing major business sectors from across the region, business leaders from the Arab world have agreed on staunch commitment to advance and adhere to the principles of environmental responsibility and cleaner production, and set a target to reduce the consumption of energy and water in their operations by 20% (relative to 2002) by the year 2012.

To help your company meet this commitment, we have prepared this questionnaire.

It is designed to facilitate exchanging information about the progress made by the companies to reach those targets.  To ensure protection of confidential information, we will share results of the survey anonymously with all participants, hence giving you the opportunity to learn about other companies' initiatives.

We appreciate your participation in this survey.
