AESG has established a new regional office in Abu Dhabi’s sustainable urban community and innovation hub, Masdar City. The move follows 30% growth in its business in the UAE in the first half of 2023, the firm stated, and builds on the firm’s over decade long work on key projects within Masdar City.
The new office opening positions AESG’s multidisciplinary team of consultancy experts closer to key clientele and prospects in the capital enabling them to better support the advancement of the UAE’s Net-Zero by 2050 strategic initiative, the firm explained.
“We at Masdar City have worked with AESG on many sustainable development projects over the years, including some of our most iconic buildings. Their expertise in sustainability and green construction has made them an invaluable part of our community, and we’re happy to be officially welcoming them to the Masdar City ecosystem,” said Masdar City’s Associate Director of Sustainability and CSR – Chris Wan.
“Masdar City and Abu Dhabi have been front runners in the promotion of sustainability in the UAE, the GCC region and globally. Our new office in Masdar reaffirms our commitment to our key Abu Dhabi clients. Keeping in line with our continued expansion, the key to this successful expansion has been the investments made in physically locating our talented experts close to our clients. The new office in Masdar City is yet another demonstration of our commitment to our key clients and projects. Our Cost Management team has vast experience in Abu Dhabi and we look forward to providing our clients with value for their money and cost management services on their future developments,” said Gary Tracey, AESG Partner and Global Head of Cost Management.
AESG’s Partner and Global Director of Strategy and Advisory – Katarina Uherova Hasbani added that the decision to base the company’s newest office in Abu Dhabi’s iconic business district was of special significance.
“AESG has served as the sustainability consultant through the concept master plan, detailed master plan and public realm design of Masdar City which is a green print for future cities and sustainable living. We are therefore proud to be among the companies to now base our offices in this business district, which sets new benchmarks for sustainability and carbon neutrality. We look forward to persevering alongside our partners and clients in developing ambitious, sustainable and innovative urban solutions,” stated Hasbani.
According to the firm, it has this year deepened its collaboration with key government stakeholders in the nation’s capital. AESG is said to have recently offered its expertise in supporting the development of sustainable tourism guidelines locally in the region that aim to mitigate the effects of climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe).
“With the strengthening of our presence in the capital, we are eager to work with the government and leading private sector organisations as together we actively shape the sustainable future of the country,” concluded Hasbani.
