As Oman Climate Week convenes industry leaders to address pressing environmental challenges, Douglas OHI reinforces its commitment to sustainability, climate action, and responsible business practices. By aligning our efforts with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we continue to drive meaningful change in the built environment, fostering a more resilient and sustainable future for Oman and beyond.
At Douglas OHI, sustainability is embedded in our core values. Through a structured framework, we translate our commitments into tangible actions that contribute to key SDG targets. To combat climate change, we focus on the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources while strengthening resilience to climate-related hazards. Our projects are designed to adapt to environmental challenges, ensuring long-term sustainability.
Energy efficiency is a cornerstone of our strategy, as we work to enhance efficiency improvements by 2030 and upgrade infrastructure with clean technologies. At the same time, our commitment to employee health, safety, and wellbeing remains unwavering. We prioritise protecting labour rights and fostering safe, secure workplaces, particularly for migrant workers.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are also key to our approach, as we actively advocate for the social, economic, and political inclusion of all individuals, regardless of background. Talent development plays a vital role in our long-term success, and we are dedicated to fostering full and productive employment, equal pay, and skills development across our workforce.
Beyond our internal efforts, we engage with communities by expanding access to quality technical and vocational education while supporting gender equality and vulnerable groups. Additionally, we contribute to strengthening domestic resource mobilisation to enhance economic resilience. As technology continues to evolve, we remain focused on privacy, cybersecurity, and the development of resilient digital infrastructure to drive equitable economic growth.
Our commitment to ESG, transparency, and governance is reflected in the way we integrate sustainable practices into our reporting and business strategies. Ethical governance remains a cornerstone of our operations, ensuring accountability, responsible decision-making, and institutional integrity. Operational excellence and business resilience are key drivers of our success, with an emphasis on sustainable infrastructure development and retrofitting industries to enhance resource efficiency.
Sustainable procurement and responsible supply chain management are also central to our approach. We promote entrepreneurship, job creation, and innovation while supporting small-scale enterprises by improving their access to financial services and integrating them into broader value chains.
Peter Baker, Regional HSSE Manager at Douglas OHI, emphasises:
“Sustainability is central to everything we do. Aligning our priorities with the SDGs allows us to drive measurable impact, fostering innovation while contributing to the communities we serve. We’re committed to creating a legacy of positive change. Together, we’re building a more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient future, ensuring every project leaves a lasting positive impact.”
By embedding these SDGs into our operations, Douglas OHI reaffirms its dedication to sustainable development, creating lasting value for communities, stakeholders, and the environment.
