V4 Advisors DMCC (V4 Advisors) is proud to have conducted, for the second consecutive year, a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) audit for Our Own High School for Boys in Al Warqa, Dubai – UAE. The project is to analyze the GHG trends and compare the school’s GHG emissions to its baseline year.
“The dedication and the school’s engagement in environmental projects is quite clear”, said Mr. Rawad Massoud, the Managing Director of V4 Advisors DMCC. “The GHG audit complied with requirements of the GHG Protocol while using the local emission factors; it accounted for GHG emissions from direct and indirect sources, such as the refrigerant gases used in the cooling system, electricity consumption, as well as water and paper consumption”.
The results were not only discussed with the management team, but also with the eco group student team. “We encourage schools to make sure that our future generation are equipped with the education and knowledge to have a positive impact and be active actors in green economies and in combating climate change”, added Rawad Massoud.
“As the Principal of the school I would like to state that we as custodians of changing the mind set of children/students of the present must comprehend that the future of this planet is very different from today and our students need to make sure that the future is GREEN. By this we mean that each and every child needs to comprehend that a) the resources of the world are to be protected and used wisely and b) whatever we leave behind as our Carbon Footprint due to the organization’s operations emissions should be minimized.
For this it is important that we keep a check today on our Carbon Footprint and hence in a lay man language use resources wisely for example Using A/c only when required and switching them off when no one is in the room. Using water wisely and turning off the tap when not needed, re-using paper, bags, etc…
These students need to be first aware, then be equipped with appropriate information, and then become innovative in producing ideas which will become the strength of the world in future. We have to become responsible to guide and prepare our students so that they will make us proud and protect the world of tomorrow and that is what Our Own High School believes in and is working towards”, added Mr. Sanjeev Jolly.
The school is grateful to V4 Advisors for awakening the students’ interest and educating us towards the responsibility we all have towards each other and in making a positive difference to our world.
