To achieve these aims, Y.A. Maof collaborates with a wide range of stakeholders including municipal and governmental authorities, private companies and NGOS.

Based on its extensive experience in environmental entrepreneurship, Y.A. Maof is continuously initiating and taking part in a variety of nationwide projects and regulatory processes.
