Mohammed Al-Naemi: Participants of MUSTADEEM are the core of the human capital upon which the future of our green economy and sustainable food security will depend. Dubai: The Ministry of Climate Change and Environment successfully concluded the first edition of the MUSTADEEM programme, organised as part of the 'Year of Community' to build and empower the capacities of Emirati youth in the fields of environment, agriculture, and sustainability. The programme aims to qualify and cultivate a generation capable of promoting innovation in sustainability and enhancing their readiness for the future job market by equipping them with research, analysis, and teamwork skills. Two closing ceremonies were held to honour the participating youth and strategic partners at Silal in Al Ain and the International Centre for Biosaline Agriculture (ICBA) in Dubai. Participants aged 13 to 16 who completed the intensive training programme, held from August 4 to 8, were honoured. Commemorative shields were also presented to representatives of Silal and ICBA in recognition of their pivotal role as strategic partners in providing participants with a unique educational and practical experience. His Excellency Mohammed Saeed Al Nuaimi, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment, said: "The success of the first edition of MUSTADEEM is a testament to our leadership's vision in investing in our most precious asset, our youth. These participants are the nucleus of the national human capital that our future green economy and sustainable food security system will rely upon. The knowledge and passion for sustainability we have instilled in them is a long-term investment that will yield results across all vital sectors of the nation and ensure the continuity of our journey towards global leadership in the fields of environment and sustainability." He added, "MUSTADEEM provides participants with knowledge and also aims to foster an innovative mindset capable of developing solutions. We are preparing this generation to continue leading the transition towards a low-carbon economy and to serve as ambassadors of sustainability in their communities. The exemplary partnership between the Ministry, Silal and ICBA embodied the UAE's approach to unifying national efforts to achieve our climate goals and future aspirations. MUSTADEEM will continue to cultivate innovative minds for a better future for the UAE through upcoming editions, which will focus on more pillars of sustainability in our nation." The MUSTADEEM programme was delivered through two tracks; the first led by Silal at the Innovation Oasis in Al Ain, and the second led by ICBA at its headquarters in Dubai. The programme offered participants a comprehensive educational experience combining theory and practice through specialised workshops in soil and water laboratories, post-harvest technologies, and crop health, alongside interactive activities to encourage critical thinking and problem-solving. MUSTADEEM successfully achieved its objectives of exposing young people to the challenges and opportunities in the environmental and agricultural sectors, equipping them with essential skills that provide a strong foundation for their professional future. The programme highlights that empowering youth and providing them with practical knowledge is essential for building a comprehensive sustainability system. Through this advanced training model, the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment continues its role as an effective national leader in developing human capital and achieving an environmental and economic balance, positioning the UAE on the world's leading edge of environmental sustainability. The Ministry confirmed that MUSTADEEM is designed to serve as a long-term strategic platform, with its next editions focusing on broader aspects of sustainability across various vital sectors, in collaboration with an extensive network of national partners from both the government and private sectors, as well as academic and research institutions.

Positive operational results for L'azurde
Riyadh, KSA: 'L'azurde Company for Jewelry', the leading jewelry designer, manufacturer, distributor, and retailer in the Middle East, announced its interim financial results for the first half of 2025. Demonstrating outstanding operational performance, L'azurde reflects the strength of its brand and robust expansion strategy. During the first half, the company achieved operating revenues of SAR 278.2 million, a 11.4% increase compared to the same period last year, driven by strong performance across various markets, particularly in the retail sector as it increased by 17.3% compared to the same period of last year due to growth in the like-for-like stores of the existing stores and the extension of the store's network. 'L'azurde' recorded a gross profit of SAR 123.3 million during the first half of 2025, confirming the company's continued commitment to maintaining stable profit margins that reflect its operational efficiency and ability to create value. This growth was a direct result of the company's success in boosting sales at existing stores and opening new ones in strategic locations. Despite the positive operational performance and the stability of the net profit before one-off items, net profit of this period was affected by exceptional, non-recurring items for its operation in Saudi Arabia. The company has taken the necessary measures to address them. During the last 12 months, 'L'azurde' continues with its expansion plan with the opening of 13 new stores (7 in Saudi Arabia and 6 in Egypt), contributing to strengthening its regional presence and increasing its market share in its main markets. The company confirmed that the results during the first half of 2025 reflect the continued momentum of its core operations, despite challenges that reflected on the net profit. It affirmed commitment to implementing best operational practices and strengthening the governance and oversight system, which will contribute to improving operational efficiency and enhancing profitability in the future. 'L'azurde' expressed optimism about the continued upward trend in revenues and its work on developing its current operating model. It stressed that ongoing improvements in retail performance and smart market expansion, along with the focus on high-value products and branding, will support positive and sustainable results in the coming periods. -End-
