While matters of sustainability and carbon emissions have been in the media spotlight more than ever recently – especially in relation to the recent COP26 United Nations Climate Change Conference – the team at MB Solutions Australia, MB Solutions New Zealand and Bluey Technologies have spent much of the past year working to develop and implement the sustainability strategies which will guide all aspects of their business operations from 2021 well into the future.
In line with this commitment, the companies have established a Sustainability Council to help drive, develop and monitor the processes for sustainable development across their Australian and New Zealand operations, including amongst other things, implementing strategies that will enable them to achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2030.
Speaking about the sustainability goals, Jason Bolt, Executive Director with MB Solutions, commented:
“From our products and services, through to our manufacturing operations and day-to-day business activities, our goal is to lead responsibly – driving business growth in tandem with a genuine commitment to the four key pillars of Social, Environmental, Cultural and Economic Sustainability.”
In keeping with the global MBCC Group’s ESD goals and initiatives, the companies’ sustainability targets and initiatives are focused squarely on delivering tangible results and benefits. They address all aspects of the companies’ operations, focussing on a range of key areas including reducing consumption of electricity, gas, water and natural resources; minimising waste; maximising recycling and resource recovery; developing compostable packaging solutions, utilising secondary raw materials and other by-products to benefit the circular economy; and changing their fleet to electric-powered or hybrid vehicles.
“Importantly, our commitment to world’s best practice sustainable operations isn’t just empty words or clever marketing – it is a genuine commitment to minimising the environmental impact of our products and operations,” Jason Bolt said.
“It’s a genuine commitment to working in tandem with our customers, business partners and other stakeholders to understand their sustainability needs and ESD goals and helping them to achieve those goals,” he added.
“It’s also about us being open to emerging technologies and discovering ways in which these can be implemented to benefit our day-to-day business operations as well as those of our customers.”
“The road to sustainability and Net Zero 2030 is a complex journey, and it is not without its challenges. And while some of our planned projects will no doubt take some time to implement, we’re already well on the way to achieving some of our sustainability goals, with a number of the first raft of projects nearing completion,” Jason concluded.
