IOSH Events Content Producer Dimple Chauhan looks ahead to Intersec 2025 Dubai where we’ll be putting the focus on sustainability.

Sustainability is becoming a key part of the future of health and safety. With this in mind, we’re looking forward to hearing from Dr Saleh Ali Albalushi, Vice President of Health, Safety, and Environment at Drydocks World, at Intersec 2025 Dubai. Dr Saleh will present on “Navigating sustainability: from policy to practice”.

Drydocks World, located in Dubai, recognises that true sustainability is more than just environmental concerns. Their strategy is built on four areas.

  • Human: focusing on the wellbeing and development of employees and communities.
  • Social: promoting social equity and community engagement.
  • Economic: ensuring economic viability and growth.
  • Environmental: minimising environmental impact and promoting ecological balance.

Sustainability at Drydocks World is not an after-thought but a core component of their decision-making process. They clearly align their initiatives with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This ensures that their efforts contribute to global sustainability targets.

“At Drydocks World, we create positive impacts for the people, communities and the environment in which we operate through prioritising sustainability, remaining aligned with the SDGs and fostering sustainable business growth.”
