<p><strong><span style="font-size:18px">Believing in the importance of our role towards the environment, and in collaboration with sector companies, we are conducting studies on two projects aimed at reducing emissions:</span></strong></p>

<p><span style="color:#0b396a"><span style="font-size:20px"><strong>Collaboration with Gascool</strong></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size:18px"><strong>A study is underway to install solar energy units at the company&rsquo;s site in Al-Maddiya. This initiative aims to reduce electricity consumption by approximately 20% of the monthly usage, saving 220 MWh of electricity annually. This contributes to a reduction in carbon emissions by 120 tons per year.</strong></span></p>

<p><span style="color:#0b396a"><span style="font-size:20px"><strong>Collaboration with EPROM (Egyptian Projects Operation &amp; Maintenance)</strong></span></span><br />
