At Selected Energy (Pty) Ltd we strive for excellence in all we do, and recognise the impact that our activities can have on people and the environment. Safety, health and protection of the environment form an integral part of our planning and decision making. We will manage our company, wherever we do business, in an ethical way that strikes an appropriate and well-reasoned balance between economic, social and environmental needs.
We are fully committed to improving environmental performance across all our business activities, and will encourage our business partners and members of the wider community to join us in this effort. We are especially concerned about the unnecessary use of electricity to heat water in Southern Africa and believe we are contributing to raising the standard by promoting and distributing Solahart solar water systems. Selected Energy recognises our responsibility in energy use, waste generation, emissions to air and water etc. As a consequence we will strive to:
- Adopt the highest environmental standards in all areas of operation;
- Minimise waste through careful and efficient use of all materials and energy;
- Purchase sustainable products wherever feasible;
- Train employees in good environmental practice and encourage employee involvement in environmental action;
- Reduce risks from environmental, health or safety hazards for employees and others in the vicinity of our operations;
- Aim to include environmental and ethical considerations in investment decisions where appropriate;
- Assist in developing solutions to environmental problems.
