The Forum, held under the auspices of The Ministry of Housing, aimed at exchanging successful experiences in the field of infrastructure innovation and sustainable solutions.

During the Forum, FHH presented its experience in managing its facilities in Egypt where Sherif Alaa, Business Development Manager at Fine Solutions, the B2B arm of FHH, and Alaa Tohamy, Quality Assurance Manager, shared with the audience the group’s efforts in three fields: environment, economic contribution, and FHH’s work environment.

The Group also shared its efforts in reducing carbon dioxide emissions by using natural gas as the main source of electricity generation in its four production facilities in Egypt, which resulted in reducing emissions by more than 25 thousand tons annually.
Furthermore, FHH presented its pioneering experience in reducing water consumption through the establishment of one of the most advanced water treatment plants in 6th of October City, which was inaugurated last year by the Minister of Environment.
