Ecolab, a global leader in water, hygiene and infection prevention solutions, has formalised its long-standing collaboration with Dubai Municipality through the signing of a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
Under the agreement, Ecolab and Dubai Municipality will work together to enhance the safety of water and food systems across Dubai through technical programmes, specialised training, and expert consultation. The collaboration also extends to strengthening the safety oversight of consumer products, including biocides.
The MoU establishes a broader framework for cooperation on initiatives that promote sustainability, support the development of regulatory systems, and encourage the adoption of innovative approaches such as artificial intelligence and emerging technologies. The partnership reinforces shared priorities around public health protection and environmental stewardship.
“Dubai Municipality continues to advance pioneering, science-based systems for food safety, water quality, and consumer product oversight in line with our strategic vision to safeguard public health and support Dubai’s long-term sustainable development,” said Dr Naseem Mohamed Rafee, acting CEO of the Environment, Health and Safety Agency at Dubai Municipality. “Our collaboration with Ecolab enables the Municipality to benefit from specialised technical expertise and international best practice, strengthening the services and standards that enhance the wellbeing of residents, visitors, and the wider community.”
Nathan Lubbs, country manager for MENA at Ecolab, said: “We value the trust Dubai Municipality has placed in Ecolab through this agreement. This MoU creates new opportunities to support Dubai’s ambitions with our expertise, technology and on-the-ground experience. We look forward to building on our shared progress and contributing to the continued development of Dubai’s safety and quality standards.”
The agreement formalises an established working relationship between the two organisations and provides a platform for continued collaboration in areas critical to Dubai’s public health, environmental protection, and sustainability goals.
