Omnium International achieves Carbon Neutral certification

Omnium International takes the lead in sustainability in regional consultancy

Omnium International proudly announces its certification as a Carbon Neutral company, following an independent audit by UK-based Tunley Environmental. This milestone positions Omnium among the very few consultancies in the Middle East to attain such a distinction, underscoring its commitment to sustainability and innovation.

Carbon Neutral certification aligns with Omnium's ambitious goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2035, a full 15 years ahead of the UAE's national target of 2050, supporting the UAE’s Federal Decree-Law No. 11 and echoing the climate ambitions of its other key markets across the UK and Europe.

With operations in Saudi Arabia since 2007, Omnium also actively supports the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and commitment to net zero by 2060. As the country prepares to host Expo 2030 Riyadh, sustainability will be front and centre, and Omnium is proud to offer carbon, energy and cost consultancy expertise that aligns with this national agenda.
