The upcoming SMEN Awards Ceremony for 2024 is rooted around one major theme: taking action.

Building on the back of the amazing energy in the region following the annual COP sustainability conference (COP28) that was held here in Dubai in 2023, we are ensuring that energy doesn’t go to waste (pun very much intended!) and continuing the excellent work in the region.

This awards then look to those who have taken action over the past year, as well as those who have built a vision for the future for us all to work toward.

That vision must align with the demands of our age, and that is synchronicity between government, business and people – after all, we cannot fight climate change alone, so those that have done the hard yards in united disparate elements of the modern state and the supply chain are real heroes who need recognising.

The awards will recognise individuals and organisation across all manner of fields, celebrating their innovations, hard work and passion for positive green change.

Held in Dubai, the awards will attract the very best of the region, as well as those from further afield to chart to future of sustainability across all vital sectors in the Middle East.
