Reducing Demand For New Gold Mines
The Mega Group satisfies demand for gold by recovering scrap gold from willing sellers, thereby reducing the need for new mines that cause massive environmental destruction to supply the market with more gold.
Reducing Energy Usage
Excessive energy usage, especially of energy generated using fossil fuels, is a huge contributor to climate change. To meet global emissions reduction targets, we are cutting down on energy usage in general, in addition to gradually transitioning towards renewable energy sources. The measures we have taken include: Applying 4R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Reclaim) principles to our procurement and waste management practices.
- Switching to LED lights, which are 80% more energy-effificient compared to conventional light bulbs, whenever possible.
- Servicing air conditioners regularly to prevent the excessive energy consumption associated with old, poorly-maintained air conditioning units.
- Unplugging and switching off machinery when not in use.
- Redesigning workflflows to be more energy-efficient.
- Investing in energy-efficient production machinery.
- Installing solar panels at the Le Grand production facility.
