UAE-based publisher GVP Media, a division of Global Village Partnerships, has announced the launch of ‘CleanUAE’, the region’s first carbon neutral book in February.
This is a new annual publication highlighting corporate best practices in the UAE. A regional first, the entire carbon footprint for the book will be offset by carbon credits purchased by GVP Media.
The launch event, to be held at Dubai’s Desert Palm Resort on February 3, 2011, features international and local VIP guests who will discuss how their organisations are making a difference by upholding sustainability as a critical driver of their business success.
The keynote speaker of this event is Cynthia McKinney, a former US Presidential candidate in the 2008 US Presidential elections and US congresswoman who is best known for her human rights work and peace activism.
“Our forthcoming book ‘CleanUAE’, aims to create a regional platform for debate and action in the field of environmental, social and corporate governance,” said Lisa Durante, managing group editor of GVP Media.
“Our GVP model is based on creating viable publishing concepts in the UAE and then rolling them out to diverse territories worldwide. Our first edition of ‘CleanUAE’ will be replicated regionally as a ‘CleanBahrain’ and ‘CleanSaudiArabia’ in 2011.”-TradeArabia News Service
