Altron has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions to near zero by 2025. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance sustainability and reduce reliance on non-renewable energy sources. Specifically, the company plans to invest in a solar photovoltaic (PV) system at its Midrand facility, which is expected to cut non-renewable energy consumption by about 50% and lessen dependence on diesel generators during loadshedding. The emissions data is sourced directly from Altron Limited, with no cascading from a parent or related organization. Altron's commitment to reducing its carbon footprint aligns with industry standards and reflects a proactive approach to climate change mitigation.
