Eskom wins green award for second year in a row
State-owned power provider Eskom received the Green Grand Prix Award at this year’s Sunday Times Top Brands Awards for preserving the environment and harnessing the country’s natural resources, based on spontaneous awareness among consumers.
The award, which Eskom won for the second year in a row, was awarded to companies that have embarked on environment-friendly initiatives.
“We continue to promote a culture that recognises sustainable development in all our activities. Environmental compliance, in terms of air quality, land, biodiversity, water, waste and ash management, impacts operational sustainability.
“It is critical to maintaining our licence to operate, thereby ensuring security of supply. It also underpins our principle of zero harm to the environment, while operating under complex and evolving environmental requirements,” Eskom acting CEO Brian Molefe said.
Eskom was recognised for its work on the 100 MW Sere wind facility, near Vredendal, in the Western Cape; for pilot solar photovoltaic plants at the Kendal and Lethabo power stations; and for developing a diversified energy mix.
In addition to The Green Award, Eskom also came third in the Social Investment category.
