The 2019 Annual MENA Green Building Awards began their seventh cycle at the beginning of May after being launched by the Emirates Green Building Council.

Designed to honour companies that demonstrate a clear implementation of sustainable design, construction and/or operation of buildings and structures, the goal of the awards program is to help establish a regional model for the sustainable built environment that is world class and replicable.

The Annual MENA Green Building Awards identify, recognise and highlight organisations for innovative and outstanding sustainable building principles and practices.

The EGC said the aim is to "facilitate greater understanding of the contributions from the construction sector to sustainable development and lead to the exchange of ideas and good practice in sustainability in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region."

The number of professional categories has this year been increased to 20 and includes for the first time in the region an award for the  ‘Zero Building/Zero Building Design of the Year’. This a reflection of the growth in sustainable development and green building practice within the MENA region.

The Awards are once again endorsed by the World Green Building Council and supported by regional Green Building Council’s: Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Kuwait, Morocco and Palestine.
