Our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint

In today’s world, sustainability is no longer an option, it’s a business priority. Majority of industries across the globe are taking increased measures to reduce their carbon footprint, and Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) service providers are no exception.

We know how important our planet is to us and we believe that every company has the responsibility to contribute towards a greener future. As a reflection of our commitment to sustainability and our determination to create a positive impact, we have taken important steps to reduce our carbon footprint by installing solar panels and Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations on our operational facilities.

Hear from our leadership: Allan Gechie on Entec International’s sustainability journey

To gain deeper insight into our sustainability efforts and how we are tackling the challenge of reducing our environmental impact, watch the video below. Allan Gechie, our Managing Director, shares the vision and initiatives driving our commitment to a greener future. Allan highlights how Entec is leading by example in the MRO industry.

Adopting Renewable Energy Sources

One of the most significant ways we are reducing our carbon footprint and aligning with the global shift towards more sustainable energy sources is by installing 124 solar panels and two 20kw inverters to power our operations. By installing solar panels, we’re not only reducing our operational costs but also saving an estimated 8.89 tonnes of CO2 emissions a year, which in turn reduces emissions across our supply chains. This initiative will provide almost 50% of our consumption and will export around 39% of electricity generated back into the grid.

'In 2020, global solar energy production avoided 710 million metric tons of CO2 emissions. This figure is projected to rise as more countries adopt solar technologies and transition to renewable energy sources.'

Championing the Shift to Electric Vehicles

In addition to solar panels, Entec International has installed six 22kw EV charging stations in our parking facilities as we understand that the adoption of electric vehicles and the necessary infrastructure is essential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. By installing EV charging stations, we are preparing for the future of sustainable transportation and encourage both our employees and visitors to make environmentally conscious transportation choices.

Why these initiatives matter

According to the Worlds Resources institute, globally, the industrial sector, which includes manufacturing, accounts for an estimated 24% of all greenhouse gas emissions. Industries are under increasing pressure to improve sustainability practices and consumers and businesses alike are demanding more sustainable products whilst regulations on emissions are tightening.

Our commitment extends beyond our internal practices. As an MRO service provider, we are part of an industry that is increasingly adopting greener practices. We are taking strides towards greater sustainability which indirectly impacts and contributes to the sustainability goals of the industries we serve. By embracing more responsible operations, we help our customers become more eco-friendly in their own processes

We are proud to be leading by example. By installing solar panels and EV charging stations, we are demonstrating that it’s possible to reduce our carbon footprint while maintaining operational efficiency. These changes are just the beginning of our plans as we look for ways to incorporate sustainability into every aspect of our business.

We are committed to doing our part, and we invite others in the industry to join us on this journey towards a greener, more sustainable planet. Together, we can all contribute to a more sustainable future for generations to come.
