Metalube Aims to be Carbon Neutral by 2020
As part of its commitment to environmental management, Metalube has made a pledge to
be carbon neutral by 2020. To support this responsibility, Metalube has joined forces with
Climate Partner, an organisation which provides companies climate protection solutions: from
carbon footprints and climate protection strategies all the way to climate neutral products
with the support of international carbon offset projects.
Commenting on this green ethos and its
recent partnership with Climate Partner,
Robert Brown, Managing Director says:
“Our company philosophy has always been
to support sustainability and has long been
concerned with the environmental impact
of our products and how the emissions
they produce can be reduced. Since 2015,
Metalube has been ISO 14001 registered,
which formally acknowledges our ongoing
commitment to operational sustainability.”
He adds: “In addition, the Metalube technology
centre is actively developing future lubricants
which are both safer for the environment and
to the end user. Today, we are very proud that
those products are now being used in industrial
applications around the globe. In production,
Metalube is currently making further eco
commitments by transitioning our packaging
practices away from plastics, and instead using
environmentally friendly and recyclable materials.”
Climate Partner provides a next step towards
increasing the sustainable management of
Metalube by offsetting all CO2 emissions that
cannot currently be avoided. The aim is to support
economic, ecological and social development in
regions with Metalube offices, such as clean ocean
initiatives in India, forest conservation in Brazil,
and geothermal energy development in Indonesia.
Robert Brown concludes: “As a relatively
small industrial business we are making BIG
environmental commitments that aim to protect
our employees, customers and most importantly
the environment that we all live and work in. The
efforts we are making in-house combined with our
partnership with Climate Partner will, we hope,
ensure our long-term sustainability.
