Enbat Holdings, a family of vegan and sustainable companies based in Qatar, began its journey in 2016 with the founder’s mission to create a global ecosystem where plant-based businesses can flourish. Today, their growth spans the food, wellness, and service industries through ethical investments in eight unique companies writes Ghanim Al Sulaiti**.
Enbat Holdings’ core philosophy hinges on consistently avoiding ventures that contribute to animal suffering, environmental destruction, and climate change.
At Enbat, we have adopted numerous sustainability standards to ensure we effectively manage our emissions and environmental impact. We have calculated our carbon emissions for Scope 1, 2, and 3, and set ambitious goals to achieve net zero. Through our restaurants, we have integrated a zero-waste policy, composting fruit and vegetable leftovers, customer leftovers, and juice pulps, which we then donate to local farms. At our PaperCut factory, we use 100 percent recycled paper for packaging and recycle all paper waste produced, ensuring circularity is achieved. Our factory will soon operate in a solar-powered facility, ensuring a fully regenerative manufacturing process. In collaboration with Lulu Qatar, we launched a campaign in 2022 to promote compostable and biodegradable packaging, positioning us as industry pioneers in Qatar.
We designed and manufactured the packaging, helping customers switch to a greener option. In Botany – The Vegan Alchemist (our organic skincare line), we use only glass packaging and have implemented a refill programme with a reward system to encourage customers to return their glass containers. This initiative reduces plastic waste and enforces a culture of reuse. In 2025, we are relocating our manufacturing from Australia to Qatar, which will significantly reduce our carbon emissions.
Public transportation
Across all our branches, we require staff to use the metro, significantly reducing our emissions. This policy promotes public transportation and reduces urban air pollution
In 2022, we started our partnership with Forest Smoothie to plant trees for every smoothie sold in our restaurants. Visit any of our shops and help us offset our emissions. Enbat’s approach to sustainability shows our dedication to creating a positive impact on our society and the environment. We strive to lead by example, setting innovative standards for ethical and sustainable business practices in Qatar and beyond and we are happy to have been recognised with awards such as the Most Sustainable Business in Qatar, by Qatar Development Bank and the Greenest Restaurant in Qatar by the Qatar Green Building Council.
