In a first for a business setup company in Dubai, A&A Associate has partnered with top international sustainability advisory firm Bon Conseil to kickstart plans for a net zero journey that will see them cut out Green House Gas (GHG) emissions within the next three years.

“A&A Associate has always been a pro-active changemaker, not just picking on trends but, in fact, executing them ahead of others so our business operations and processes remain aligned with UAE Government’s commitment to sustainability,” said Robin Philip, the founder and director of A&A Associate, after signing an MoU with Bon Conseil.

“The dedicated team of professionals at Bon Conseil, with their global experience and expertise, are the ideal partners to assist us in fulfilling this dream of ours of being sustainable in each and every service we provide. Mr Philip hoped the pact will aim to create “an even more diverse and inclusive workforce in A&A Associate in terms of gender and different nationalities.

“The plan is to be more sustainable and environmentally conscious in all the business processes and operations, to align with UAE’s vision on sustainability and reiterate our firm’s commitment to the same, to achieve Net Zero Target for GHG emissions within the next three years and eventually to set many consulting-sector-first sustainable best practices by being a trendsetter with innovative impact-driven initiatives.”

Philip and his team will also plant at least 100 thousand trees in the next year as part of their commitment to making the world a greener place.

Bon Conseil co-founder Tanuj Agarwal was part of the signing ceremony with Philip, A&A Associate Chairman Ahmed Abdualla Ali Mohamed Alamiri and Urmish Mehta, fellow co-founder with Agarwal.

“At Bon Conseil, we view sustainability not as an end in itself, but as the means to a more far-sighted and impact-driven business, which is focussed not only on wealth creation but also has more fiduciary accountability towards the society and environment,” Mr Agarwal said.

“Sustainability is the all-pervasive blood that should run in the veins of the business operations and should not be viewed in silos, devoid of Business.”

Over the period next 12 months, Bon Conseil plans to introduce a number of innovative initiatives at A&A Associate that they say will lead to a ‘significant transformation in the way it does business and will also align with global best practices in sustainability.

“We are delighted to act as sustainability enablers for A&A Associate and the enthusiasm shown by its people towards being impact leaders will fasten the process of transformation and A&A Associate will emerge as a sustainability trendsetter in its business sector,” said Mr Mehta.

Thinking of convincing your family or friends to visit Dubai?

Now you have an extra incentive.

The Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) has launched A Dubai Invite, a new programme that rewards UAE residents and citizens for inviting loved ones from overseas to visit the emirate.

If your guests arrive in Dubai between July 20 and October 31, you could unlock more than Dh3,000 worth of rewards, including hotel stays, dining vouchers, attraction tickets and exclusive lifestyle offers.

How to claim the rewards

Getting started is simple.

Before your guest travels, register their details through the A Dubai Invite online nomination form.

Once they arrive in Dubai, their entry is verified automatically, so there’s no extra paperwork or check-in required.

Within 72 hours, you’ll receive an email with details of your reward package and instructions on how to redeem it.

Who’s eligible?

You can take part if you:

  • Are a UAE resident or citizen aged 18 or above
  • Have a valid Emirates ID
  • Invite friends or family who live outside the UAE
  • Register their visit before they arrive

Visitors must enter Dubai between July 20 and October 31, whether by air, land or sea.

The programme doesn’t include visas, so visitors must arrange their own travel documents if required.

What’s included?

Each successful nomination unlocks a reward package worth more than Dh3,000.

Offers cover:

  • Hotel stays
  • Restaurants
  • Tourist attractions
  • Lifestyle experiences

Participating brands include Careem, Hala, W Dubai Mina Seyahi, The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi, Le Méridien Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Waterpark, Meliá Desert Palm, and IHG Hotels & Resorts.

A few rules to remember

There are a few conditions before you start sending invites:

  • You can nominate up to five visitors per submission.
  • Each resident can receive up to three reward packages during the campaign.
  • Each visitor can only be nominated once. If someone has already registered them, another nomination won’t qualify.

The rewards will be available until December 31, 2026, unless stated otherwise.

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect excuse to bring friends and family to Dubai, this could be it, and you’ll be rewarded for it too.

Indian missions in UAE to continue passport services amid tender dispute

Published

Spread the love

The Supreme Court of India has upheld the Delhi High Court’s decision to cancel the Ministry of External Affairs’ (MEA) tender process for outsourcing passport, visa and consular services at Indian missions in Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Singapore and Canberra.

A Bench led by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant dismissed the Centre’s appeal, directing the MEA to comply with the High Court’s ruling and complete a fresh tender process within three months.

To ensure there is no disruption to services, the Supreme Court allowed the MEA to continue with the existing service providers or temporarily engage the lowest (L-1) bidders whose contracts had previously been set aside. The ministry may also make any other suitable interim arrangements until the new tender process is completed.

The court clarified that these temporary measures will not create any legal rights for any party and will remain in place only until fresh contracts are awarded.

According to legal reports, the Bench, which also included Justice Joymalya Bagchi and Justice V. Mohana, heard arguments from Solicitor General Tushar Mehta on behalf of the Union Government, along with senior advocates representing the private companies involved in the case.

The ruling means the MEA must restart the tender process while following the directions issued by the Delhi High Court.

Meanwhile, due to the ongoing legal proceedings, Indian diplomatic missions in Abu Dhabi and Dubai have been providing passport and consular services directly from their premises, ensuring that services for the Indian community in the UAE continue without interruption.
