At OQ8, we are deeply committed to protecting the environment in all our operational areas. Our activities prioritize the well-being of the ecosystem alongside the wellness of our people, ensuring that neither is harmed. Accordingly, we comply with environmental regulations and best practices at all of our locations, often exceeding requirements to uphold the highest standards and reduce our ecological footprint.
We are committed to
Our energy consumption was reduced by half as we continued our stable commercial operation. We continue relying on three sources of energy: external sources (electricity purchased from Marafiq), energy from fuel, and renewable energy generated internally from solar panels installed across all accessible rooftop areas.

Monitoring and evaluating our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is critical for understanding our environmental footprint, identifying patterns, establishing targets, and guiding future actions. By accurately, tracking, measuring, and assessing GHG emissions during a stable year of operations we are able to establish a baseline.
We are committed to
Reflecting our commitment to reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainable resource use, we have implemented a state-of-the-art Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). This facility is designed to recycle and manage water consumption efficiently. This facility plays a critical role in collecting and treating aqueous emissions generated throughout the company, ensuring operational resilience during routine activities, maintenance procedures, and unforeseen events.
