Celebrating DEWA’s Remarkable Success in the IBPC Best Practice Certification Programme

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) recently participated in the IBPC Best Practice Certification Programme, with 11 best practices achieving a 5-Star rating or higher and being recognised as international best practices.

The IBPC Best Practice Certification Programme uses the same 7-Star Rating System as the International Best Practice Competition, but operates in a more flexible and in-depth format. While the competition is held once a year, organisations can participate in the certification programme at a time that suits them, typically with around 10 best practices assessed per programme.

Celebrating Excellence: Department of Finance Honoured for Six International Best Practices

Congratulations to His Excellency Abdulrahman Saleh Al Saleh, Director General of the Department of Finance, and to the six teams that successfully completed the IBPC Best Practice Certification Programme.

Capturing Excellence: IBPC 2025 Highlights and IBPC 2026 Ahead

While compiling the latest video montage for the International Best Practice Competition (IBPC), I had the privilege of revisiting many of the outstanding best practices shared at IBPC 2025. Bringing these presentation highlights together into one seamless showcase was a powerful reminder of the exceptional calibre of the organisations we have the opportunity to work with.
It is always inspiring to witness and celebrate the dedication of organisations and the pride of teams whose work delivers real benefits for their customers, communities, and citizens. Seeing such a diverse range of success stories presented across more than 20 IBPC webinars was a wonderful reminder that a commitment to excellence truly brings the world together.
