We closed 2024 with a strong commitment to sustainability and giving back to our community. As part of our environmental initiatives, OP, in collaboration with the Environmental Emergencies Centre at the Oman Environment Authority and the Oman Beaches Protection Volunteer Team, organized a beach cleanup at Azaiba Beach, Muscat.

The cleanup saw enthusiastic participation from volunteer teams and community members, focusing on removing plastic waste and other pollutants that threaten marine ecosystems. Healthy beaches and coastal areas are essential habitats for diverse plant and animal species. By keeping them clean, we help protect marine and terrestrial wildlife, birds, and native species, fostering a healthier environment for future generations.

At OP, we remain committed to our social and environmental responsibilities. We will continue working alongside our partners to promote sustainability, protect marine life, and make a lasting impact on our community. We hope this initiative inspires more environmental action and community participation in the coming year.
