AESG, a specialist consultancy, engineering and advisory firm, has announced that it has secured a key certification under the Saudi National Center for Environmental Compliance (NCEC).

 

With this, AESG team of environmental scientists, engineers and experts will be able to guide developers in bringing the kingdom's impressive giga-projects to life, while actively preserving and protecting the environment. 

 

AESG had established its dedicated operations hub in Riyadh in 2018, and over the last five years it has grown to become a leading consultancy firm in the kingdom. 

 

It distinguishes itself through its unique, multidisciplinary approach that combines expertise in engineering, cost management, environment and sustainability and building commissioning, for the delivery of comprehensive value on large and complex projects, said the statement from AESG. 

 

As a result, AESG now plays an integral role in some of the Kingdom’s more iconic undertakings by working with developers and organisations that include Red Sea Global, the kingdom's futuristic city Neom, The Royal Commission of AlUla (RCU), SEVEN, Saudi Downtown Company, Qiddiya Investment Company, and Roshn, it added.

 

With COP28 set to take place in the GCC this year, sustainability has been a key theme for regional economies, and this is especially evident in Saudi Arabia which aims to achieve Net Zero by 2060. Under this government vision, sustainability is at the heart of the Kingdom’s transformation projects such as Neom, the Red Sea, and Qiddiya.

 

In bid to spearhead its sustainable development vision, the company has appointed industry veteran Tom Burkitt as it KSA country director. In this role, he will also aid the kingdom's advancement of the National Transformation Plan.

 

"Saudi Arabia has demonstrated clear intention for its giga-projects to set new sustainability benchmarks aligned with its Vision 2030 agenda," remarked Saeed Al Abbar, CEO of AESG. 

 

"In doing so, these projects are set to become showcases of innovative new construction and development paradigms and future-focused design concepts. Bringing this vision to life will call for the support of international engineering firms whose world-class expertise can ensure the incorporation of the highest industry standards," he added. 

 

AESG Global Director of Environment Nivine Issa said: "We are proud to have achieved the NCEC Certification which enables our qualified team of environmental scientists, engineers and experts to guide developers in bringing the kingdom's impressive giga-projects to life, while actively preserving and protecting the environment.”
