In the domain of risk mitigation, the Municipality won top honours at the 2025 IIRSM Awards, with its Hair Dye Safety Assessment named Most Impactful Risk Research. The initiative reinforces Dubai Municipality’s commitment to product safety and public health protection.

Recognised for Institutional Excellence
The Municipality’s organisational development efforts were recognised at the International Quality Awards, where it secured first place in the Best Quality Team category for its Integrated Management System (IMS).
