Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (Rakez) organised a beach clean-up drive at Al Hulaila beach in Ras Al Khaimah, as part of its corporate social responsibility initiatives.

It brought together nearly 150 volunteers, including the zone’s clients, employees, and local residents.

The volunteers representing diverse backgrounds and industries displayed a collective determination to protect the pristine coastline of Ras Al Khaimah, said Rakez.

During the drive, the participants collected 729 kilograms of waste from Al-Hulaila Beach. The waste included plastic bottles, wrappers, fishing nets, and other debris that are detrimental to marine life and ecosystems.

Ramy Jallad, Group CEO of Rakez, said: "Our Beach Clean-Up Drive at Al Hulaila Beach exemplifies Rakez's unwavering dedication to corporate social responsibility and environmental stewardship. Sustainability is not a choice; it is our collective responsibility.

“We firmly believe that even the smallest actions can lead to significant positive changes. By uniting as a community, we are making a profound impact on the preservation of our natural environment."

These initiatives actively promote environmental consciousness within the Ras Al Khaimah community, encouraging widespread participation in the principles of recycling, reusing, and waste reduction, a statement said. – TradeArabia News Service
