Our Sustainability approach.
Welcome to an update on HWR's most recent sustainability efforts. Alongside supporting many community endeavours and reinvesting in our founding place of Invercargill, HWR is working towards achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. This is a significant body of work to transform our business, but one we are committed to and recognise the urgent change that is needed within the transport industry to reach this goal. As a large company, we aim to lead by example when it comes to corporate sustainability. Not only for our natural environment, but for our people, our customers and our communities. Given we rely on diesel and petroleum products to operate our heavy plant and equipment across our brands, one of our key opportunities is to reduce our carbon emissions through reduced fuel consumption.
Reducing carbon emissions helps us play our part by contributing efforts towards helping ensure our future generations can thrive. This challenge and change to an environmentally sustainable way of business, is just one of the many challenges HWR faces in the current changing landscape. We have committed to reducing our fuel consumption by 8% by 2027. To get there, and beyond, we need to make meaningful change. Armed and inspired by this responsibility, we have spent much of the past 12 months exploring and implementing the groundwork for what will become a hydrogen-powered heavy transport industry. HWR Hydrogen is a project to implement clean, future fuels into our businesses to secure the transport industry’s future.
Great People, Great Gear, Great Mates.
This is what our customers know and expect of us. And at the heart of HWR are Great People; we’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone across the Group for their hard work, their passion in their roles, and their commitment to finding a better way to do business.
