Under the esteemed patronage of the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment, the 24th edition of the Clean UAE Campaign reached its 4th stop in the Emirate of Ajman on 11th December. Organised by the Emirates Environmental Group (EEG) in collaboration with the Municipality & Planning Department – Ajman and Ajman Police, this station forms part of a nationwide initiative spanning all seven Emirates from 6–16 December 2025. The Clean UAE campaign continues to be the nation’s most significant community-driven environmental movement, reinforcing the UAE’s ongoing commitment to sustainability.
At the Ajman location, an impressive turnout of 1,025 participants, gathered early in the morning, adorning specially designed cotton T-shirts and caps and equipped with cotton gloves & biodegradable garbage bags, ready to make a meaningful environmental impact. Covering a 10 km area, participants demonstrated remarkable dedication to environmental stewardship and civic responsibility. By the end of the clean-up, volunteers had successfully collected 2,763 kg of waste in addition to 35 kg of paper, 60 kg of plastic, 15kg of aluminium cans, 50 kg of glass and 20 kg of scrap metal, all carefully segregated for delivery to local recycling facilities. With this effort, and since the campaign’s inception in 2002, we have cumulatively collected 1,725,313 kilograms of waste, cleaned an expansive 1,225 square kilometres of land, and mobilised an extraordinary 1,076,557 volunteers from across the Emirates. These milestones reflect not only our collective strength, but also the profound sense of responsibility and unity that defines our society.
Dr. Habiba Al Mar’ashi, Co-Founder and Chairperson of EEG, highlighted the significance of the campaign: “Clean UAE continues to demonstrate the true spirit of our nation — a spirit rooted in collaboration, awareness, and environmental responsibility. What we witness here today in Ajman is not merely a participation in a campaign, but a community choosing to safeguard its natural heritage. Each volunteer, each kilogram of waste collected, and each action taken brings us closer to a more sustainable, resilient, and environmentally conscious UAE.”
She further emphasised that EEG designs its programmes in alignment with global environmental frameworks, guided by the principle of “Think globally, act locally.” The Clean UAE campaign directly contributes to several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), promoting good health and well-being, sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and production, climate action, life on land and partnerships for the goals.
H.E. Abdulrahman Mohammed Al Nuaimi, the Director General of Municipality & Planning Department – Ajman expressed the Municipality’s strong support for the campaign, recognising it as a vital platform for fostering civic engagement, environmental awareness and sustainable practices across the Emirate.
The Director General of Municipality and Planning Department – Ajman, further affirmed the department’s support for all pioneering national initiatives in the field of environmental sustainability, foremost among them the “Clean UAE” campaign. He emphasized the department’s pride in participating as a strategic partner in this positive initiative, which reflects the spirit of environmental responsibility and community engagement in the United Arab Emirates. He added that this participation aligns with the goals of Ajman Vision 2030, which aims to strengthen environmental sustainability.
His Excellency further noted that the campaign represents an important opportunity to promote a culture of volunteerism and community involvement. He expressed pride in the number of volunteers taking part with great positivity and responsibility. The department will continue its ongoing efforts to support such national initiatives that contribute to building a more sustainable future for generations to come.
Dr. Al Mar’ashi extended her heartfelt appreciation to the Main Sponsors — McDonald’s UAE and Salik — as well as the Support Sponsors — CANPACK Middle East, Dubai Investments and Farnek — and the Technical Partner, ADNOC, whose contributions ensured the success and smooth execution of the campaign in the Emirate of Ajman.
Further gratitude was extended to the CSR Partner, the Arabia CSR Network, and the Supporting Entities, including Almarai, Aster Group, Del Monte, Fujairah Plastic Factories, Intercat Hospitality, Oasis Water Company and Ajman University for their valuable support.

In her closing remarks, Dr. Al Mar’ashi shared: “At EEG, we strongly believe that fostering a culture of environmental responsibility across all sectors of society will advance the UAE’s transition towards a circular economy and accelerate progress towards climate neutrality. Through collective action and sustained commitment, we can deliver meaningful environmental impact for future generations.”

CASAGRAND UNVEILS DEBUT INTERNATIONAL PROJECT CASAGRAND HERMINA AT DUBAI ISLANDS, VALUED AT AED 420M Where the serenity of the coast meets the rhythm of the city
Dubai, UAE: December 2025: India’s leading real estate developer, Casagrand, has officially unveiled Casagrand HERMINA, a premium residential development located on the rapidly transforming Dubai Islands.
Valued at AED 420M, Casagrand HERMINA marks Casagrand’s expansion into the Middle East with a project that blends coastal serenity and city living. Inspired by Hermes, the mythological messenger who moved effortlessly between worlds, Casagrand HERMINA is conceived as a place where the calm of the sea meets the dynamism of Dubai, providing residents a lifestyle that balances retreat, tranquility, and connection.
Arun Mn, Founder and Managing Director, Casagrand, said: “At Casagrand, we have spent more than 22 years creating high-quality developments grounded in precision, timely delivery, and an unwavering focus on customer satisfaction. Bringing this ethos to the UAE is an important milestone for us, and Casagrand HERMINA encapsulates what we value most, a place where the sea brings calm, the city stays close, and life feels restorative, joyful, and connected.
“Our experience in thoughtful design and meaningful community living shapes every detail, and we’re excited to introduce this approach to one of the world’s most dynamic real estate markets. Ultimately, our goal is to continue to be the developer people trust with one of the most important decisions of their life – of buying a home.”
Casagrand HERMINA offers 131 residences ranging from one- to four-bedroom apartments, each crafted for privacy, openness, and elevated everyday living. Residences on every floor are thoughtfully spaced to ensure enhanced privacy, quieter corridors, and a boutique sense of exclusivity. With a starting price of AED 1.92M, a 60/40 payment plan, and completion scheduled for Q2 2028, Casagrand HERMINA brings carefully considered living to the heart of the city.
Strategically located within Dubai Islands, a major coastal district backed by government vision and investment, supported by the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan. The area features 21 km of Blue Flag-certified beaches, major infrastructure upgrades including an eight-lane bridge to Downtown Dubai by 2026, and a planned Metro link. With extremely high demand showcased by almost 50% rise in transactions last year, and limited supply of prime waterfront locations as well as future-ready connectivity, Dubai Islands is positioned as one of the emirate’s strongest long-term real estate investment corridors.
Luthfullah K, Director, Dubai, Casagrand, said:“Dubai Islands represents one of our city’s most exciting long-term growth corridors, and it was essential for our first UAE development to be rooted in a location that reflects both our ambition and our values. With Casagrand HERMINA, we wanted to create a community that captures the balance people increasingly seek, spaces that feel calming and restorative, yet remain closely connected to everything Dubai offers. This development is a statement of our commitment to the market and Casagrand HERMINA is only the beginning of what we aim to contribute to the city’s evolving residential landscape.”
Casagrand HERMINA integrates advanced smart technology and eco-conscious design to create a healthier and more efficient living environment with smart home controls, eco-friendly materials, and a locally landscaped podium that naturally helps regulate temperatures.
The development is envisioned as a place where everyday life feels elevated, where wellness, leisure, and community are seamlessly woven into routine. Beyond its impressive range of amenities, from serene swimming pools and spa retreats to vibrant play areas, an immersive sky cinema, and tranquil meditation zones, every space invites you to slow down, connect, and experience a richer way of living while staying connected to the city. Fully furnished layouts, walk-in closets, and entry foyers in all units further enhance the sense of comfort and everyday ease.
Designed by the Casagrand in-house architectural team who have the experience of curating homes for more than 55,000 families, Casagrand HERMINA stands at the crossroads of tradition and transformation, where the vibrancy of the city meets the serenity of the shore. Each space was thoughtfully shaped to carry meaning for every family that buys a home at Casagrand HERMINA. From rooftop views to wellness zones, the Casagrand team were committed to creating a lifestyle that makes coming home feel restorative.
Casagrand remains deeply committed to long-term growth in the UAE and is currently exploring land parcels across major masterplans and emerging communities, with plans to develop over 6 million sq. ft. of premium residential and mixed-use spaces in the next three years. Casagrand HERMINA marks the first milestone in this strategy in one of the most prime waterfront addresses of Dubai, showcasing Casagrand’s design intelligence, build quality, and modern approach to lifestyle-driven living.
