a leading provider of science, engineering, education, and technology solutions, has been awarded

the prestigious ‘Dubai Chamber of Commerce ESG Label,’ achieving a record-high score of 83
percent in environmental performance. This recognition underscores the Group’s commitment to
energy efficiency, resource optimization, and sustainable business practices, further reinforcing its
position as a leader in responsible and future-focused operations.

The assessment further evaluated Centena Group’s performance, emphasising strength and key
areas for improvement, where the company scored 71 per cent in preparedness and awareness.

The Group’s key achievements, included reducing its carbon footprint through best-in-class
conservation and energy-efficient practices, closely monitoring resource consumption,
implementing waste segregation for hazardous and electronic waste, and setting quarterly
reduction targets for energy and water usage.

Furthermore, the assessment identified opportunities for greater impact, such as optimising
transportation to reduce emissions, investing in carbon offset initiatives like tree planting or

renewable energy projects and expanding waste reduction strategies to cover office and food
waste alongside hazardous and electronic waste.

Sanjay Raghunath, Chairman and Managing Director of Centena Group said: “At Centena Group,

we believe that real success lies in improving and creating a greater positive impact. While we
take pride in this achievement, it also reflects our long-term strategy to stringently evaluate ESG
readiness across our divisions, identify gaps and build a targeted growth plan. The ESG Label
serves as a roadmap for organisations striving to align with best global practices in sustainability,

and we aim to take meaningful actions that benefit our stakeholders, communities and the planet.”

Centena Group has been constantly embedding sustainability across its diverse business divisions.

For instance, its security division, ScreenCheck, helps to reduce waste generation and lower
energy consumption through rewritable ID cards, energy-efficient data centre technologies, and
AI-driven access control systems. The Group’s industrial and analytical arm, Emphor IPS,
supports companies in meeting environmental standards by providing advanced water analysis

and treatment systems, emission monitoring, and metering solutions.
