Forbes is out with its Middle East Sustainability Leaders 2024 list — and 18 prominent Egyptian figures have made the list. Featured on the list — and in no particular order:

AND- Arab Contractors recognized by the Engineering News Record’s Global BestProjects for the fourth consecutive year. The state-owned construction company was awarded the title of best international restoration and renovation for its work on the Damietta Bridge and a merit award for its restoration of Cairo’s El Sayeda Zeinab Mosque, the Housing Ministry said in a statement.

PLUS- Egypt’s Rawdat El Sayeda development has won the Arab Housing Ministers’ Council Award for the Best Completed Housing Project for 2024, with the project receiving praise for its “notable urban development and its positive impact on the residents’ lives,” the Housing Ministry announced in a statement. Inaugurated in October 2021, the Rawdat El Sayed project aimed at transforming the Tel Al Aqareb area — which was filled with buildings with poor infrastructure — into a “modern urban community providing decent housing.”

ON TOP OF THAT- Mondelez Egypt shifted its chocolate and biscuits factories in the Tenth of Ramadan to run entirely on renewable energy, implemented in collaboration with the New and Renewable Energy Authority, according to a statement. The company will source its energy from five government-owned power plants including the Hurghada, Gabal El Zeit, and Zafarana wind farms, the Zafarana and Kom Ombo solar plants.

ALSO- The Arab Bank will help provide women with essential diagnostic tests and treatment options to combat breast cancer under a cooperation agreement with the Baheya Foundation for Early Detection and Treatment of Breast Cancer, according to a statement (pdf). The bank will fund two surgical clinics at Baheya’s Sheikh Zayed Hospital, which are expected to benefit over 19.5k women annually.
