Protecting the Earth
At MDS, we are supporting UAE’s national ambition to achieve Net Zero by 2050 by reducing our environmental impact. As part of this commitment, we have set targets to reduce our Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon footprint by 30% by 2030. This includes measuring our corporate carbon footprint and minimizing our negative impacts by offsetting residual carbon.
We are implementing our Energy Management System, Environmental Management System as well as Green Procurement practices to reduce our environmental footprint. We have implemented many initiatives to reduce our environmental footprint as well as to safeguard our environment.

Empowering Our People
Research shows that when employees feel that their well-being is a top priority for the organization, they are more likely to be motivated and committed to their work. A positive work environment that emphasizes employee welfare can significantly boost productivity and foster long-term loyalty.
At MDS, people are at the core of our business practices. We are committed to providing a supportive, inclusive, and fair working environment where every individual is valued and empowered to reach their full potential. Our inclusive leadership development initiatives ensure equal access to growth opportunities, while our internal mobility and career path programs help our people thrive and advance within the organization. We invest in professional development, leadership training, and upskilling programs to build a culture of personal and career growth and resilience. We believe that investing in employee welfare initiatives such as competitive salaries, comprehensive benefits packages, flexible work arrangements, professional development opportunities, and work-life balance programs can significantly contribute to reducing turnover rates. Our high employee retention rate is evidence that our employees feel valued and safe in their working environment.
Advancing Responsible Governance
Strong corporate governance is critical to how MDS operate and make decisions. Corporate governance refers to the set of rules, procedures, and processes that guide and control our company. The importance of corporate governance in organizations has gained significant attention in the contemporary business landscape. Not merely a set of guidelines, an effective corporate governance framework is instrumental in influencing the behavior of key players and other stakeholders within a company. Thus, policies, corporate culture, goals, ethical behavior, and a positive workplace environment are essential for ethical decision-making and long-term value creation.
We are committed to upholding the highest standards of transparency, ethics, and accountability in all aspects of our business. We adhere to internal policies and practices to uphold our business ethics as well as comply with UAE Labour Law.
