The event is also supported by DEWA, Dubai Municipality and the Environmental Centre for Arab Towns. Future Green is also aimed at strengthening the role of UAE's industrial and business sectors and their bid to adopt and implement more green policies and sustainable strategies. This year main sponsors are Averda, Aramex and Organic Foods and Caf?'. Averda, the largest environmental solutions provider within the MENA region, is the Official Recycling Sponsor of Future Green 2012, and will be showcasing their exciting new recycling initiative, the region's first Reverse Vending Machine (REVA), allowing consumers to participate in "doing good" in their communities through recycling. "Averda is committed to changing public behavior and attitude towards waste reduction and recycling in the region, and Goumbook's Future Green is a commendable platform that allows us to reach out to the community, and encourage people to play a positive role in making the UAE a greener place. During the event, we will be showcasing an innovative recycling solution by ReVa; a reverse vending machine that accepts empty plastic bottles and aluminum cans in exchange for rewards. Last year we planted about 650 Ghaf trees after our participation, and we look forward to a fruitful collaboration this year as well." Youssef Barakeh, ReVa Brand Manager.
For Aramex, Sustainability is a strategy. Corporate activism is embedded in their business model, and a reflection of how Aramex chooses to exist and operate. As the first company in the region to report on its sustainable practices, Aramex continues to be accountable for its commitments to all stakeholders. Aramex is keen on continuously practicing its citizenship by being an active partner in development and serving its communities and the environment. Aramex supports entrepreneurial initiatives, education and youth empowerment, sports and community organizing developing models as a way to highlight the importance of human capital, citizenship and activism.
