Melita became carbon neutral in 2022: the carbon emissions from our daily operations such as direct emissions from company vehicles and indirect emissions from the electricity used to provide services are balanced by carbon reduction and offset activities.
Melita has committed to join the United Nations’ Science-Based Targets initiative. This aims to achieve the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement by reducing greenhouse gasses to a level which is predicted to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
We have invested in a custom photo voltaic plant utilising all our facility’s roof space to reduce our carbon foot print through clean green energy.
We plan to build additional solar farms in Malta to generate green power for our operations.
We started rolling out a fleet of electric vehicles early in 2020.
Our target is to have 90% of the fleet electrically powered by 2025, with almost 40% of company vehicles being switched to electric during 2022.
To reduce emissions throughout our supply chain, we apply environmentally friendly purchasing policies and use Malta-based suppliers whenever feasible.
We will prioritise suppliers that have similar carbon neutrality targets and work with our other suppliers to reduce emissions.
