GREEN AWARDS FOR AECI

The Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries hosted a three-pronged conference, known as the Waste Khoro, under the theme “Good Green Deeds” in September. The emphasis was on the creation of a platform for engagement on waste-related matters, particularly in terms of land remediation and asbestos management among industry leaders, NGOs and government entities.

The SHE team from AECI attended and presented papers related to remediation work completed across the Group. Furthermore, AECI sponsored and provided a 60-seater delegate lounge, with screens showcasing work in the Group, as well bottled water (courtesy of ImproChem). At the gala dinner, AECI received an award for its remediation activities and contribution to sustainable development.
