Epta’s approach towards environmental responsibility
Refrigeration is a high energy-consuming business. In the average-size supermarket, approximately 40% of energy is used by cold chain equipment. This is mainly what prompted us to adopt and promote a green approach towards environmental corporate responsibility and environmental management.
We have long since embarked on a path that drives us to combat climate change; one that encourages the rational use of water resources and protects the environment so as not to damage the ecosystem around us, thus preserving it for future generations. However, we don’t want to appear virtuous only on paper. We care about being valued for what we actually do, which is why we are structuring ourselves with systems that enable us to turn our projects into concrete, measurable actions. That way, our long-term success will increasingly depend on a responsible approach in the interest of all our stakeholders.
