Environment Fair 2005

Bapco held its first ever Company-wide family event: Bapco Environment Fair 2005, at the Heritage Village adjacent to Bahrain National Museum on Thursday, February 3, 2005, to coincide with Bahrain’s National Environment Day celebrations.

The Environment Fair attracted over than 12,000 employees and their families. The event offered a variety of activities aimed at highlighting what Bapco is doing to help protect Bahrain’s Environment, and also offered practical tips on what employees and their families can do to help improve the environment. A number of Bapco stands featured displays and offered booklets, leaflets, give-aways and quizzes on a variety of environmental subjects, including information on Bapco’s efforts to achieve greater environmental protection, like the comprehensive Environmental Compliance Plan, Bapco’s Oil Spill Response Plan, the ongoing Energy Conservation campaign, the Company and Awali’s recycling programmes. Other stalls addressed issues such as power and water conservation, composting, greenery, desertification and marine environment conservation.

A number of government and other organisations also participated in the Fair, including the Public Commission for the Protection of Marine Resources, Environment & Wildlife, Ministry of Water & Electricity, Ministry of Municipalities & Agriculture Affairs, as were other organisations such as Youth & Sports (GOYS), Environment Electronic Friends Society, GLOBE, Mother & Child Welfare Society, and several Bapco contractors.
