Juhayna joins “E-Tadweer” initiative
Juhayna Food Industries joined the “E-Tadweer” within the framework of its deep belief in the importance of spreading environmental awareness.
This praiseworthy initiative aims at developing a system that pertains to collecting and recycling electronic waste.
In fact, “E-Tadweer” was launched under the supervision of the Ministry of Environment, the Waste Management Regulatory Authority (WMRA), together with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), within the framework of the Presidential initiative “Go Green”.
It is noteworthy that Juhayna’s participation in “E-Tadweer” will be embodied in supplying computers that contribute to saving the equivalent of 320 kilograms of carbon.
Moreover, the company’s participation comes in line with the role played by the Federation of Egyptian Industries and the Environmental Compliance Office in encouraging partnership with the private sector, as well as supporting entrepreneurship in the field of sustainable development.

Indeed, we are determined to do that as part of our strategy to achieve sustainable development.”
At the beginning of this year, Juhayna published its Carbon Footprint report for 2019, which showcases the environmental impact’s assessment process of its activities, and highlights how the company’s carbon footprint comes in line with the Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), along with Egypt’s 2030 vision.
