Energy Management
As an energy intensive industry, cement manufacturing demands rigorous energy oversight, and we have implemented robust systems to monitor, optimise, and innovate across its operations. Our facilities are ISO 50001 certified, ensuring that energy management systems meet international standards for continuous improvement in energy performance. Regular energy audits are conducted across all sites to identify optimisation of opportunities, use of clean energy, track progress against targets, and enhance efficiency. By accelerating our shift to greener energy sources and more efficient energy usage, we’re not only reducing our carbon footprint but also strengthening our resilience against energy market fluctuations.Read More
