“Sustainability is a journey”, with Boca’s Omar Shihab

Co-host Tiffany Eslick sits down with Omar Shihab, Chief Sustainability Officer at Boca. In addition to numerous sustainability initiatives from how they source their ingredients to running on 100% renewable energy, Boca is now investing in a halophyte farm in the UAE, in partnership with Emirates Nature WWF and the International Centre for Biosaline Agriculture (ICBA).

Omar shares more about the work being done at the Umm Al Quwain reserve, and his advice to companies starting their sustainability journey.

Boca has been a pioneer for sustainability in Dubai, and is a Gold Winner at the Gulf Sustainabilty Awards, a recipient of the Gault & Millau Sustainable Kitchen award since 2022, and a Michelin Green Star last year.
