Our Carbon Reduction Strategy
Here at Helapet we are passionate, committed and actively engaging in several initiatives to reduce our carbon footprint.
It is the responsibility of this generation to implement a sustainable framework for the future. On an ongoing basis we assess each area of the business with a view to reducing our carbon footprint now.
We continue to look at all areas of our business with the core values that we have always held close to us. Applying Six Sigma Principles, a set of methodologies and tools used to improve business processes by reducing defects and errors, minimising variation and increasing quality and efficiency.
We continuously review our all areas of our business processes and implement initiatives to further our contribution towards climate control.
“This is the best time to push forward, we continue to push for improvement.”
