Amerex reinforces its commitment to sustainability through the acquisition of solar panels and a 100% electric car
At Amerex, we are committed to sustainability and environmental protection. In line with this commitment, solar panels were acquired in 2022 to supply electricity to our facilities, as well as the incorporation of a 100% electric car into our vehicle fleet.
The installed solar panels have allowed our offices, pilot plant, and manufacturing plant to operate with clean and renewable energy, with 90% of Amerex’s electricity expenditure being generated by these panels (according to statistics from the last two years of use). This has significantly reduced our carbon footprint, promoting responsible use of natural resources. This investment not only underscores our commitment to sustainability but also contributes to energy efficiency and long-term cost reduction.
Additionally, the acquisition of an electric car strengthens our commitment to sustainable mobility. Amerex currently has a fleet of hybrid vehicles, and with the acquisition of this 100% electric vehicle, we can make more ecological trips, reducing CO2 emissions and promoting a healthier environment for everyone. This car is used by some employees for their daily commute to the office, reducing the use of personal gasoline or diesel vehicles, as well as for other necessary trips during the workday.
At Amerex, we understand that sustainability is not just a trend but a responsibility that we must assume to protect our planet. These actions are part of a broader strategy that includes the implementation of sustainable practices in all aspects of our activity.
We will continue to work to integrate sustainable solutions into our daily operations, demonstrating that it is possible to grow responsibly and in harmony with the environment.
