Dubai Chamber of Commerce recognises Centena Group with ESG Label for achieving an 83% score in environmental performance.
DUBAI: Centena Group has earned the prestigious ESG Label from Dubai Chamber of Commerce, achieving a record 83% score in environmental performance—a significant recognition of its sustainable business practices and leadership in energy efficiency.
Known for its diverse portfolio in science, engineering, education, and technology, Centena Group has embedded sustainability across all its divisions. The assessment commended the Group’s efforts in reducing carbon emissions, closely monitoring resource usage, and enforcing waste segregation for hazardous and electronic materials. Initiatives like setting quarterly targets for energy and water consumption reduction further reflect a data-driven commitment to environmental responsibility.
Beyond environmental scores, Centena also received a 71% rating in preparedness and awareness, highlighting its capacity to adapt to evolving ESG demands. The report outlined opportunities for even greater impact, including expanding waste reduction to office and food waste, optimising transport emissions, and investing in offsetting solutions such as tree planting or renewable energy projects.
Chairman and Managing Director Sanjay Raghunath said, “While we take pride in this achievement, we view it as a stepping stone toward deeper ESG integration. Our strategy is clear—evaluate, identify gaps, and build a sustainable future rooted in action.”
Centena’s business arms reflect this ethos: ScreenCheck minimises tech waste through rewritable ID cards and energy-efficient data centres; Emphor IPS assists clients in environmental compliance via water analysis systems and emission monitoring; Maritronics protects marine life through ballast water technologies; and ATLAB educates students in conservation and renewable energy.
Looking ahead, Centena plans to implement the 3Rs—Reduce, Reuse, Recycle—across departments while expanding its waste management programs. These steps are part of its broader vision to evolve as a sustainability-driven organisation with clear, measurable goals and continuous improvement embedded in its DNA.
