BEEAH Headquarters, Sharjah, 15 December 2023: Dubai Asset Management (DAM), which owns and operates a leasing portfolio of 15 residential communities under Dubai Holding Asset Management, officially signed a partnership with BEEAH Tandeef, the waste collection and city cleaning business of BEEAH Group, to advance sustainable waste management, support the circular economy and elevate quality of life in Dubai’s key communities.

The new partnership will provide regular waste collection, transportation, disposal, and recycling for more than 100,000 residents across DAM’s strategically located residential communities, underscoring the Group’s pivotal role in enabling sustainable living in line with the UAE’s Sustainability Agenda and the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan. As per the agreement, BEEAH Tandeef will ensure that all forms of waste are managed effectively, safely and sustainably, meeting local regulations and global best practices.

Commenting on the announcement, Ahmed Al Suwaidi, Managing Director of Residential Communities at Dubai Holding Asset Management, said: “Our partnership with BEEAH Tandeef solidifies our commitment to sustainability and the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan. Effective waste management is not only about enhancing the quality of life for our residents but is also a pivotal step towards contributing to the transition to a circular economy and elevating residents’ living to new heights of comfort, convenience, and community. Sustainability is an increasingly central pillar in Dubai Asset Management’s commitment to resident-centricity, and this partnership reflects our efforts in preserving local ecosystems and contributing to Dubai’s position as one of the world's most attractive and enriching cities to call home”.
