DEWA Sustainability Partner of Arab Media Forum 2019

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has announced its sponsorship of the 18th Arab Media Forum (AMF), organised by Dubai Press Club from 27-28 March 2019 under the theme ‘Arab Media: From Now to the Future.’ DEWA is the sustainability partner of this annual forum, which is the largest of its kind in the region. A number of prominent media decision-makers in Arab and international media will take part.

“DEWA’s sponsorship of the Arab Media Forum, which has become an important platform to debate the current state and future of media, supports the close ties between DEWA and Dubai Press Club. We recognise the influential role of the media in driving the economy as well as spreading awareness in society about the various issues and topics that affect the lives of its members. The media also highlights sustainability and its role in promoting social, economic, and environmental development. The forum is an important opportunity to connect with Arab and international media organisations, and provides an interactive platform with media professionals to spread meaningful messages that address sustainability, which is of great importance to our wise leadership,” said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA.

Al Tayer emphasised the importance of the media in supporting DEWA’s vision and strategy in light of global developments and growing interest in clean and renewable energy. He noted that DEWA considers the media as an important partner in spreading a culture of sustainability and sound environmental practices, and the need to conserve natural resources. This is done by creating awareness among society members of responsible and sustainable consumption of resources, and the best eco-friendly practices to make conservation an essential part of people’s daily lives.

Khawla Al Mehairi, Executive Vice President of Strategy and Government Communications at DEWA, said that the Arab Media Forum is a bridge to communicate with Arab and international media, providing a platform to meet media personnel. She noted that DEWA, through its stand at the accompanying exhibition, will highlight its efforts and initiatives in sustainability, clean energy, protecting the environment, promoting environmental awareness, protecting natural resources, and reducing its carbon footprint.

Over 3,000 prominent regional and international media personalities, scholars, writers and media experts will take part in the 18th AMF.
