GDI believes in delivering value for the State of Qatar by developing people, communities and 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:
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
GDI has developed a community engagement program as a part of its corporate social responsibility to support Qatar’s social and cultural development. GDI engages with community through a variety of cultural, social and sports events mainly organized at occasions like Qatar’s National Say, Qatar’s Sports Day and Eid celebrations.
SUPPORTING LOCAL ECONOMY/STRENGTHING 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
We recognize that the development of nationals is our obligation to the State of Qatar and accordingly embrace opportunities to engage and develop nationals. GDI attracts Qatari nationals of different educational levels, backgrounds and experience, trains and develop them in a nurturing and supportive learning environment and offers them a promising career path.
Engagement of nationals in Rig Crew Jobs for developing talent in nationals is the key objective of the company.
The goal of GDI is to build a strong Qatari workforce that can support Qatar’s development towards realizing ‘Qatar National Vision 2030’.
