Sustainability Policy

Afrigen Energy Ltd has always believed in the value of innovating and adding value to the built environment. We are committed to bringing our experience and knowledge to achieve sustainable solutions for our clients. 

We have strive to engage positively with governments to help develop the policies and measures that are needed internationally and nationally for the business sector to contribute effectively to building a low carbon economy. We recognise that the adoption of a low-carbon economy will serve to mitigate environmental impacts of potential future emissions whilst creating significant business opportunities. 

We have an internal environmental policy, which has the active commitment of our Board of Directors.

We consider sustainability to signify maximisation of the lifetime of a development. Energy efficiency, CO2 minimisation, material re-use, social stability, environmental balance, healthy environments and financial performance are integral to our approach. 

Our goals as a Company are achieved through design solutions and working practices that contribute positively to these areas, through: 

• Integrated design optimisation for sustainability 

• Renewable energy and energy efficiency optimisation 

• Carbon foot printing 

• Emissions Profiling 

• Environmental Impact Assessments and environmental Audit services

• Energy Efficiency audits and training 

• Complying with relevant legislation, regulation, and other requirements as applicable. 

• Encouraging involvement and support of all stakeholders in sustainability initiatives. 

We address each of these areas internally, as well as within our sphere of influence: clients, collaborators and other contacts. 

We recognise that measures may vary according to local conditions and constraints, and seek to pursue those which will have the most impact, in an appropriate balance with the resources involved. 

We have implemented a collaborative web-based document management system to share news, articles and project experience, covering the international scale of our operations. Central to its design was promotion of awareness of sustainability and collaboration between departments and teams, to enable resources to be managed and operated efficiently. 

Our distributed network of Sustainability Champions collaborates regularly to ensure projects meet the highest standards in terms of sustainability. They provide expert insight into carbon foot printing, environmental assessments, energy efficiency, renewable energy and other sustainability issues. The network is an ideal way to manage cross-disciplinary optimisation between domain experts. 

Finally, we endeavour to set and review specific objectives and targets annually, to drive continuous improvement throughout the Company.
