DOHA, Qatar – 30 September 2024 - JMJ Group Holding held a workshop for its management members and partner companies at the headquarters of the Gulf Organisation for Research and Development (GORD). The workshop was hosted by GORD’s specialists who shared insights on sustainable urban development in Qatar.

The workshop discussed the implementation of GORD's leading green building rating system, the Global Sustainability Assessment System (GSAS), across JMJ Group Holding's projects in Qatar as well as approaches to achieve decarbonization with energy-smart solutions. JMJ Group Holding already holds a vast portfolio of GSAS-certified developments in Lusail City. Apart from senior representatives from GORD and JMJ Group Holding, the workshop was attended by Dr. Yousef Alhorr, GORD's Founding Chairman and Sheikh Jabor bin Mansour bin Jabor Al Thani, Chairman of JMJ Group Holding.  

Through interactive workshops and collaboration, GORD and JMJ Group Holding aim to expand their commitment to sustainable built environment across a range of projects located in the country’s prime locations. By leveraging GSAS, both organizations aim to accelerate the development of sustainable cities and communities in Qatar and the wider region.

Speaking about the latest collaboration with GORD, Sheikh Jabor bin Mansour bin Jabor Al Thani, said, “GORD is currently playing a major role across the region in terms of sustainability initiatives  and carbon mitigation. We are happy to see that our collaboration with GORD is advancing in the right direction. JMJ Group Holding is committed to elevate its environmental performance and enhance its ability to implement best practices across its diverse portfolio of projects.”

Dr. Yousef Alhorr, Founding Chairman of GORD, said, “Sustainable building practices have transcended from being optional to essential in our global effort to combat climate change. Workshops like this are pivotal in facilitating knowledge exchange and capacity building, providing industry leaders like JMJ Group Holding with the advanced tools and expertise needed to implement low-carbon building solutions. By integrating sustainability principles with GSAS, JMJ Group Holding is not only advancing Qatar's environmental goals but also establishing a high standard for the entire region. At GORD, we are committed to supporting green projects to create a collaborative culture where innovation thrives and environmental sustainability become the norm.”

Apart from GSAS, the workshop addressed various sustainability aspects related to GORD’s core operations. JMJ Group Holding’s representatives were provided with an in-depth presentation on GORD’s low-carbon solutions, including Synergia7n1 – a patented ultra-efficient cooling system designed for both open and enclosed spaces. Members of GORD Advisory outlined multiple strategies for businesses to achieve decarbonization through energy-smart solutions. Furthermore, senior officials from GORD’s affiliate, Global Carbon Council (GCC), offered insights into GCC, which is the first voluntary carbon market in the MENA region.

The workshop was followed by a tour of TechnoHub – GORD’s RDI facility in Qatar Science & Technology Park – where GORD’s engineers and sustainability experts shared the latest technologies and trends aimed to support sustainable innovations. In addition to exploring RDI projects at the GORD Institute, JMJ Group Holding’s representatives also had the opportunity to visit GORD’s 3D printing center. During their visit, they were given live demonstrations of the diverse additive manufacturing technologies and services provided by GORD.
