“Nuqul Group adopted the principles of sustainable development in 2007 when the Group became signatory to the UN global Compact and its ten principles. Since then, Nuqul Group has made every effort to integrate sustainability into its business approach. In 2012 we were able to reduce the environmental impact for some of our products, and in 2013 we look to continue our commitment towards sustainable development in all aspects of our operations.” Dr. Tareq Abu Ghazaleh, Director of Operations Support commented.
