Over 5,100 kilograms of e-waste and recyclable materials were gathered, and over 300 trees were planted.

According to Dr. Belaid Rettab, Senior Director of the Economic Research and Sustainable Business Development Sector at Dubai Chamber of Commerce, this year's campaign saw a strong turnout from the business community in Dubai, with participants demonstrating a stronger interest and commitment among businesses to engage in corporate volunteering efforts.
