The company - the official waste management partner for Expo 2020 Dubai - was given the honour in recognition of its significant contributions towards securing the UAE Government Accelerators objectives in Emiratisation.

In presenting the award, His Excellency Nasser bin Thani Juma Al Hamli, Minister of Human Resources and Emiratisation, listed Dulsco as a Best Employers in the retail sector for its outstanding efforts in hiring 3,390 UAE nationals.
