Softowell launches new sustainability initiative to empower the UAE’s journey toward net zero 2050
United Arab
Emirates:
Merging Strategy and Sustainability, Softowell Reinforces Its
Commitment to the UAE’s Climate Goals.
As part of the UAE's Net Zero 2050 vision, Softowell, a top Dubai-based public
relations firm and fast-growing across the Middle East, has launched a new
sustainability program.
By using innovation, creativity, and communicative respect, the program shows
Softowell's authentic commitment to the UAE climate goals. It aims to encourage
businesses to adopt greener policies while making them realise the power of good
PR in raising awareness, shaping attitudes, and driving essential conversation
about sustainability and business responsibility. The project also emphasizes
the increasing power of stories to inspire change, compel industries to act
responsibly, and get people to make small but significant changes toward a green
world.
The UAE was the first Middle East nation to commit to achieving Net Zero
emissions by 2050. The government has introduced several measures to achieve
this goal, backed by private efforts and public participation. Softowell's new
program matches these national efforts by offering online communication
solutions and PR ideas that facilitate progress, accountability, and openness.
In the context of the launch, Softowell CEO Hisham Saalim stated:
"Sustainability is not just about changing operations, it's about the way you
talk about those changes. As a PR agency, we are of the view that storytelling
has an incredible responsibility in shaping the way people think about climate
action. This project is our interpretation of the UAE Net Zero 2050 vision by
combining innovation with genuine, true communication."
One of the region's most prominent PR agencies, Softowell is famous for its
media outreach, distribution of press releases, brand positioning, and
reputation management capabilities. The agency, with its diverse clients across
industries, helps brands engage with domestic and international audiences in
relevant, authentic ways.
Softowell also runs THE UAE TIME, an online magazine that continuously publishes
articles on innovation, sustainability, and national development. With this, as
well as other businesses, the company expects to create open debate on climate
action and ensure success in different sectors is reported with depth,
transparency, and integrity. The platform has gained the support of the readers
who want to stay updated on the UAE's push towards developing a sustainable and
innovative future.
With Hisham Saalim aka Mohammad Alqama at the helm, Softowell expands as a
trusted communications ally. Based in Dubai with a growing regional footprint,
the agency is committed to delivering sustainable growth, ethical communication,
and effective storytelling that supports the UAE vision for a greener and better
future.
