Ooredoo, Qatar’s leading ICT provider, and the Gulf Organisation for Research & Development (GORD), a research group with a strong emphasis on sustainability, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU).

The MoU will involve collaboration on research and assessments aimed at enhancing Ooredoo’s sustainability performance and identifying actionable opportunities for continuous improvement.

GORD, headquartered at Qatar Science and Technology Park, is described as a leading RDI entity within the global sustainability landscape. Its Centres of Excellence engage in research and development, standards setting, green buildings certification, capacity building, advisory work and performance testing.

Its activity covers all areas of environmental and social sustainability, aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Qatar National Vision 2030, which the country calls “a strategic framework aimed at transforming Qatar into an advanced society capable of sustainable development”.

Through this collaboration, GORD says it will support Ooredoo by conducting specialised research, assessments and expert evaluations that will help the organisation progress on its sustainability roadmap.

Dr Yousef Alhorr, Founding Chairman of GORD, explains that this MoU aims to bring together “research-led insight, digital innovation, and globally recognised best practices to strengthen how sustainability is integrated across operations and infrastructure”.

Mohammed Al-Madadi, Executive Director – Administration at Ooredoo Qatar, adds: “By leveraging GORD’s expertise in sustainability research and development, we aim to further enhance our environmental performance and support national efforts to build a more sustainable future.”
