Speaking at the unveiling of Sahara Group’s 2021 Sustainability Report titled “Maximising the Present Efficiently; Safeguarding the Future Responsibly”, executive director, Temitope Shonubi, said Sahara had responded positively to its global sustainability targets through continuous review of the company’s operations and impact.
“At Sahara Group, we are more than a business. We inspire a green efficient future for generations by making a difference responsibly through every thought, plan, action, and reaction. The irrepressible spirit of Sahara, as well as our ‘bridge and catalyst’ mindset for creating the extraordinary from the mundane, and providing bespoke services for all markets, was the driving force behind the significant sustainability gains we achieved in 2021,” he said.
Shonubi said Sahara had taken purposeful actions to better control its sources of greenhouse gas emissions, enhanced the efficiency of the group’s power consumption and managed its environmental footprint in accordance with globally accepted best practices through the activities. According to him, in 2021, Sahara effectively managed its impact within host communities establishing acceptable and consistent standards to initiate and implement sustainable community development programs.
“Further, through our employee volunteer program, we also give our employees the opportunity to be fully engaged and contribute meaningfully to community development.”
