Ansell proudly joins Climate Group’s RE100 and EP100
We previously announced our alignment with the Climate Group’s RE100 and EP100 initiatives and the fact that we are working towards NetZero operations by 2040. We kept our promise, and we will implement highly efficient Energy Management Systems (ISO 50001) at all our plants over the next 5 years and gradually achieve 100% renewable electricity across our operations over the next 18 years, with an interim target to achieve 60% by 2030.
Ansell has been recognized with a 2022 “Best Product/Service” award in the Sustainability Category by World of Safety & Health Asia. This win recognizes the technology innovation of the Surgical SMART Pack™ and the role its innovative design plays in reducing the carbon footprint of the packaging.
Driven by passion and ambition, we have developed a comprehensive strategy to change our business and build a more sustainable future. Together, we can achieve Net Zero operations by 2040.
