IFZA has partnered with Airdog Middle East and TPA Air Technology to launch a workplace air quality initiative aimed at improving indoor air quality for employees.
According to IFZA, its CSR division, IFZA Cares, will be “actively working” to mitigate air pollution risks. The partnership, it said, aims to form a general framework for maintaining air quality in the workplace and “serve as a model” for other free zones and businesses in the UAE.
Indeed, this collaboration makes IFZA the first free zone community in Dubai to implement such an air quality enhancement program.
Airdog TPA Air Sanitizers have been installed and placed throughout IFZA’s offices to continuously track and manage air quality levels.
“Our employees have always been our top priority, and we are proud to lead this initiative to improve air quality in our offices. This partnership signifies a major step towards addressing the health and wellbeing of our employees. Using TPA’S Air Sanitizers ensures that we are providing a healthier work environment for our employees, enhancing their well-being and productivity. We hope this initiative sets an example for other organizations to follow,” commented Jochen Knecht, CEO at IFZA.
Testing and sanitising have also been conducted throughout IFZA offices, focusing on key air quality indicators like biological pathogens, particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, and humidity.
“Running the Airdog TPA Air Sanitizer in IFZA premises for over one year now has resulted in a significant and permanent improvement in indoor air quality, meeting the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO). Meanwhile, by using the world’s first sustainable air purification technology that requires no filter replacement, IFZA has saved tons of waste and CO², a crucial step towards UAE’s target of achieving carbon neutrality,” added Thomas Schmid, Founder of Airdog Middle East & TPA Air Technology.
