We look forward to a fruitful collaboration that will allow both Bahri and Ertiqa to lead by example on reducing the carbon footprint of businesses and fighting climate change.”

Saleh Ahmed Al-Qome said: “We are pleased to have found a strategic partner to drive our efforts toward promoting the recycling and reusing of used computers and devices across the Kingdom and would like to thank Bahri for extending its generous support to our initiatives and programs.
