Renewable Energy Usage
Our Warehouse and Distribution Center has high thermal insulation, a geothermal system to ensure low temperatures during summer months and a solar tube system that provides internal lighting without the use of electricity during daylight in both the warehouse and office spaces.
Electricity consumption and calculation of CO2 emissions through environmental systems are recorded, and ways to reduce them are evaluated. Currently, we have achieved 100% use of electricity from renewable sources in our Warehouse & Distribution Center in Dali, accomplishing zero CO2 emissions from the usage of electricity.
