Corporate social responsibility

Building responsibly, for the long term.

How we look after our people, our clients, our community and the environment, in every project we deliver and every building we maintain.

Our commitment

We believe a contractor's responsibility goes beyond the building itself. It extends to the people who build it, the people who use it and the city it becomes part of.

These are the commitments that guide how Projects Island works. They are standards we hold ourselves to on every project, and we review them as our company grows.

01

Health & safety

Nothing we build is worth an injury. Safety is planned into every job before work begins, and everyone on our sites, whether our own team, subcontractors or visitors, has the right and the duty to stop unsafe work.

We commit to

  • Work in line with UAE and Abu Dhabi occupational health and safety requirements on every site.
  • Assess risks and agree safe methods of work before each task starts.
  • Provide the right protective equipment, tools and training for every role.
  • Hold regular toolbox talks and site inspections, and learn from every near miss.
  • Protect our people from summer heat, including observing the UAE midday work break.
02

Environmental responsibility & sustainable building

The most sustainable building is one that is built well and kept in good condition. We aim to reduce the environmental impact of our work and help our clients run more efficient properties.

We commit to

  • Reduce, separate and responsibly dispose of construction waste, and reuse and recycle materials where possible.
  • Recommend energy-efficient HVAC, lighting and insulation, and water-saving fixtures and irrigation.
  • Choose durable materials and finishes that extend the life of a building.
  • Use planned and preventive maintenance to keep systems efficient and avoid premature replacement.
  • Keep dust, noise and disruption to a minimum for neighbours and the community.
03

Community & local workforce development

Our business is built by people. We are committed to treating every worker fairly, developing skills within our team and contributing positively to the communities where we work.

We commit to

  • Treat every member of our workforce with dignity, fairness and respect.
  • Pay wages correctly and on time, and provide decent working and living conditions.
  • Invest in on-the-job training and skills development across our trades.
  • Support local suppliers and businesses in Abu Dhabi wherever we can.
  • Be a considerate neighbour on every site.
04

Ethical sourcing

What goes into a building matters. We aim to source materials and services responsibly, from suppliers who share our standards.

We commit to

  • Work with reputable suppliers and subcontractors who meet legal, safety and labour standards.
  • Choose quality, compliant materials, and be transparent with clients about what we use.
  • Reject bribery, corruption and unfair practices in all our dealings.
  • Pay our suppliers and subcontractors fairly and on agreed terms.
