Our pledge: Net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2025

We commit to targeting net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2025 at the latest, in our production of the fully electric bin lift system - the BAS E-LIFTER.

The vision

Our owner GGI Innovations believes in “investing today for a more sustainable tomorrow”. This is now more important than ever as the whole economy transitions to a net zero and climate-resilient future. Climate is a financial risk; it is far-reaching, systemic and foreseeable. As investors and manufacurers, we have a really important role to shape the system going forward – to steward this whole economy transition.

How?

To achieve our goals of zero emissions we have initiated the following:

1. source parts & components locally
2. manufacture with Green Energy
3. serviceability over replacement

Local sourcing

For most parts and tasks the materials and components are sourced regionally, at suppliers that also care about the environment. Much of our plate steel and metal work is even being done on the Heuning Industrial Park. This minimises costs of transport and unnecessary emissions.

Green Energy

The BAS E-LIFTERS' manufacturing facility runs on a Green Energy contract. As well, we encourage employees to travel to/from work via bike, public transport and some drive fully electric vehicles. The idea is to use the roof of the premises to place solar panels that will supply electricity to run machinery.

Serviceability

The BAS E-LIFTER is engineered to be very serviceable. Not only can we read out logs and manage settings & software updates remotely which saves travel time & emissions; we also offer a modular build which allows engineers and service partners to quickly replace units or modules with minimal emissions.

Needless to say we'll continue our work to become a net zero producer.
