Protek Contracting – Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Commitment

At Protek Contracting, our commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) excellence is not a compliance requirement -it is a core business value. As a leading industrial insulation and cladding contractor in the UAE, we acknowledge our responsibility to not only deliver high-performance insulation services but also create long-term value for stakeholders, the community, and the planet.

This ESG Report outlines our strategic initiatives across sustainability, social impact, and governance, supporting our goal of becoming the UAE’s most responsible and forward-thinking insulation and fire protection company.

1. Environmental Responsibility

Energy-Efficient Insulation Systems

Protek’s services -especially thermal insulation contracting -are inherently aligned with environmental objectives. By insulating pipelines, tanks, vessels, and HVAC systems, we help industrial and oil & gas clients reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Our insulation technologies contribute to:

• Up to 30% energy loss reduction in operational facilities
• Enhanced thermal efficiency across equipment and ducts
• Lower fuel and power usage in refineries and petrochemical plants

This directly supports UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 vision and green transition frameworks.

Sustainable Material Sourcing

We source and recommend insulation materials with low embodied carbon and high recyclability, such as:

• Rockwool and mineral wool
• PIR/PUR foams with eco-compliant blowing agents
• Cellular glass insulation
• Removable insulation jackets that reduce material wastage

Protek also reduces packaging waste and partners with environmentally certified suppliers.

Waste Management

Our on-site practices include:

• Metal scrap and insulation waste segregation
• Responsible disposal of hazardous waste through authorized vendors
• Reuse of insulation remnants in smaller applications
• Digital documentation to reduce paper-based operations

We actively promote a zero-waste job site culture through training and policy enforcement.

2. Social Responsibility

Employee Welfare and HSE

Our strength lies in our people. Protek’s workforce is supported with strong Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) policies, including:

• Mandatory safety training and certifications
• Use of PPE aligned with global industrial standards
• Real-time HSE audits and site safety reports
• Mental health and occupational wellbeing programs
• Ergonomics training for technicians handling insulation and cladding

We maintain a zero-fatality safety record and comply with Dubai Civil Defense and international HSE regulations.

Local Employment and Upskilling

Protek prioritizes:

• Hiring from the local UAE talent pool
• Fair wages, benefits, and safe working conditions
• Continuous training in fireproofing, insulation material handling, and digital tools
• Workshops on environmental awareness and sustainable practices

We are building career paths in industrial contracting, especially in the energy efficiency and sustainability sectors.

Community Impact

Beyond our sites, Protek is active in:

• Community clean-up drives near industrial zones
• Sponsoring local technical education programs
• Supporting causes related to worker welfare, sustainable housing, and climate action awareness
• Collaborating with local municipalities on safer infrastructure

Our ESG commitment is centered on leaving a positive, lasting footprint in every region we serve.

3. Governance Excellence

Ethical Business Practices

Governance at Protek is built on transparency, accountability, and performance. We ensure:

• Strict anti-corruption and anti-bribery policies
• Clean, audited financial practices
• GDPR-compliant client data handling
• Clear escalation channels for grievances and compliance violations
• Zero tolerance for discrimination or harassment

We foster a culture of integrity, from procurement to project delivery.

Risk Management

Our risk framework identifies and mitigates:

• Operational risks (delays, material defects, safety hazards)
• Reputational risks (non-compliance, ESG violations)
• Environmental risks (waste, emissions, leakage)
• Cybersecurity threats in our digital and CMS infrastructure

We implement ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 guidelines to manage quality, environment, and occupational safety risks across projects.

Stakeholder Engagement

We maintain open dialogue with:

• Clients in oil & gas, marine, petrochemical, and power sectors
• Suppliers of insulation and cladding products
• Regulators and civil defense authorities
• Local communities, NGOs, and academic institutions

Our focus on collaboration ensures better ESG outcomes for all.
