AW Rostamani unit to install rooftop solar capacity
AW Rostamani (AWR) Group, one of the UAE's leading family business groups, and Positive Zero, a decentralised decarbonisation infrastructure business, have signed an agreement to install 460 kWp (kilowatt peak) of rooftop solar capacity at the production facility of Sineo Packaging Manufacturing, a sustainable packaging manufacturer under AWR Group's diversified portfolio. This agreement marks AWR Group's sixth agreement with Positive Zero (and its subsidiaries), bringing the total solar capacity to 2.7 MWp across six facilities. The solar project at Sineo Packaging Manufacturing builds upon AWR Group's continued commitment to renewable energy, including a 2023 partnership with Positive Zero's Distributed Generation arm (SirajPower) to deploy solar solutions across five principal locations in Dubai: • AW Rostamani Central Warehouse, Dubai Internet City (DIC), in operation • Arabian Automobiles, Nissan Showroom, in operation • Arabian Automobiles, Service Center, SZR, in operation • Arabian Automobiles, Nissan Service Center, Deira, in operation • AWR Parts Distribution Centre in DIC, under construction since December 2024 Under operations, the six solar-powered facilities will cut an average of 3,000 metric tons of carbon emissions every year, equivalent to the carbon sequestered by planting 50,000 trees, powering the entire energy needs of 400 homes annually. The signing ceremony was held at the manufacturing facility of Sineo Packaging located in Dubai Industrial City and was attended by Wayne Beifus, Chief Financial Officer, AWR Group, Antoine Moussali, CEO, Sineo Packaging Manufacturing, David Auriau, Group CEO, Positive Zero, and Laurent Longuet, CEO, SirajPower, a Positive Zero company, among other company executives.

Generating our own clean energy will substantially reduce our carbon footprint and aligns perfectly with our mission to provide innovative and environmentally responsible packaging solutions for the food and beverage sector.'
