GDI is dedicated to generating long-term value for the State of Qatar by empowering its people, strengthening local communities, and boosting the economy.
Together with our clients, we also ensure environmental concerns are incorporated into our day-to-day operations.
From this perspective, GDI’s philosophy is engraved in its vision as follows:
SUPPORTING LOCAL ECONOMY: STRENGTHENING OUR SOCIETY
As a National Company, GDI is obliged to promote local suppliers/vendors in order to contribute to the growth and development of the local economy. We recognize that the development of local suppliers leads to the mutual and sustained growth of both the supplier and GDI.
ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
At GDI, we are committed to responsible environmental stewardship and to preventing pollution arising from our operations and facilities. GDI maintains international certification to ISO 14001:2015 – Environmental Management System (EMS), demonstrating our commitment to effective environmental management and continual improvement. GDI’s environmental management also supports our broader ESG commitments by promoting responsible resource use, pollution prevention, regulatory compliance, and sustainable business practices.
Our Environmental Management System (EMS) forms an integral part of GDI’s overall Integrated Management System (IMS). It establishes the policies, processes, procedures, and controls required to manage environmental risks and ensure that our operations are conducted in accordance with applicable environmental requirements and GDI’s environmental priorities.
The key elements of GDI’s Environmental Management System include:
- Waste Management – Minimizing waste generation, promoting segregation, reuse and recycling, and ensuring responsible disposal.
- Chemical Management – Controlling the storage, handling, transportation, and disposal of chemicals to prevent environmental harm.
- Environmental Monitoring – Monitoring relevant environmental parameters to assess performance, identify potential impacts, and ensure compliance.
- Noise Management – Identifying and controlling noise sources to minimize impacts on personnel and surrounding environments.
- Oil Spill Prevention and Response Planning – Implementing preventive controls and preparedness measures to minimize the likelihood and potential impact of oil spills.
Through effective implementation of our EMS, GDI continues to strengthen environmental performance, prevent pollution, meet regulatory and other applicable requirements, and promote a culture of environmental responsibility across all our operations.
DEVELOPING NATIONAL TALENT
At GDI, developing national talent is more than a duty—it is our commitment to the future of Qatar. Accordingly, GDI actively embraces every opportunity to attract Qatari nationals from diverse backgrounds, experience levels, and educational sectors. By training and nurturing them within a highly supportive environment, we provide clear, promising career paths for them.
Our primary focus is placing national talent into key Rig Crew roles. By equipping citizens with specialized skills, we are building a strong workforce towards realizing ‘Qatar National Vision 2030’.
