Long-term use of traditional pesticide can lead to a range of harmful side-effects to the environment, as well as to the individuals who are continuously in contact with it. As bio-organic pesticides have actually been presented to the market, business are no longer restricted to using synthetic solutions. As bio pesticides can successfully target specific insects and specific areas, they are more effective even in small quantities.

In light of this, Imdaad, a leading carrier of integrated facilities, environment and energy management solution in the GCC, has actually just recently announced that it is gradually replacing its chemical pesticides with natural bio-chemical pesticides. The move falls in line with Imdaad's CSR projects and Green Environment effort with the business's Pest Control Division which intends to ensure that a considerable percentage of the total chemical purchase in 2016 will consist of natural bio chemicals.

Jamal Abdullah Lootah, CEO, Imdaad said, "We are excited to pursue this new program as this is an important aspect of our Green Environment initiatives. We stay dedicated to efforts that will promote sustainability, safeguard the environment and make sure the health and wellness of our workers and the general public. We are presently developing a strategy for its progressive execution so that we can make this change across all our projects."

Green pesticides are not yet widely adopted, as most companies within the sector are not aware of the negative and potentially harmful effects of environmental pesticides. As a result, very few companies have integrated this change to their operations. The initiative will be gradually implemented in a strategic manner and falls in line with the companys active efforts to promote environmental sustainability and protect the well-being of the community at large.
