Premium glass bottle maker Saverglass, part of the Orora Group, proudly announces the successful transition of its North American manufacturing site’s shift to a very low carbon electricity source. With this change, Saverglass continues to advance its externally validated SBTi greenhouse gas reduction roadmap and take a step closer to its global target of achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Matt Wilson, Senior Vice President Americas at Saverglass, comments, “We have achieved a milestone in Saverglass’ CSR efforts to reduce our environmental footprint. Our Acatlan, Mexico facility has transitioned from carbon-based electricity to very low-carbon electricity. The change has enabled us to reduce our site’s CO2 emissions by 30%.”
“The majority of glass and decoration production achieved at Saverglass’ Mexico facility is for its North American spirits customers. This change in our site’s carbon emissions means we have reduced our Scope 2 emissions close to zero. To give you an idea, this reduction in CO2 emissions is equivalent to the carbon sequestered by more than 19,000 hectares of forest every year. It represents a considerable impact for our clients’ carbon commitments,” comments Paul Rosado-Rivial, CSR Manager Saverglass Americas.
