OUR CULTURE AND DIVERSITY

The Emirates Group has a lot in common with Dubai. The languages, cultures and
ethnic backgrounds that make up our group help us innovate and grow our
business in exciting ways. For example, Emirates was the first to introduce
onboard showers. We also believe that the customer experience we offer is
really different. And of course, safety is paramount - it's there in
everything we do. In the Middle East, dnata was one of the earliest adopters
of electric ramp vehicles and 'smart' battery charging. We have also
introduced Vaculex loading aids in Dubai, which are safer for staff and more
cost effective for customers.

OUR INITIATIVES

Our whole industry is committed to reducing aviation's carbon footprint. As a
group, we want to go further than that - and make sustainability and eco-
efficiency the cornerstones of all group operations in the air, and on the
ground. We go further than making a difference within the industry. At
dnata4good , we come together to reach out and support children in need
and endangered wildlife all around the world. The Emirates Airline Foundation
is another way we are actively working towards creating a better world for
children. We provide life-changing medical treatment, clean water and
educational opportunities.
