Sustainability
Serco sustainability initiatives include:
Solar power
A total of 1029 solar power panels have been installed on the roof of Serco’s Durban factory and offices allowing the premises to be largely off the grid during the day. The R5m solar installation is part of Serco’s drive to reduce its impact on the environment.
Recycling of paper and plastic
We have collection points for paper and plastic to ensure we recycle all packaging materials
Rainwater harvesting
We have water storage tanks for rainwater runoff from our factories. This is used for washing trucks and trailers to minimize use of this scarce resource.
Products
The Serco Protec Frostliner refrigerated vehicles have been recognised for thermal performance which contribute to a reduction in diesel and carbon emissions from cooling units.
Manufacturing
We strive to minimize energy consumption during our manufacturing processes. We adopt an ethical approach to the disposal of any waste products generated. We consider recyclability of materials used during the design process.
