WORKING HARD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

MEMS is at the forefront of reducing environmental impact within the industry. All MEMS Power Generation equipment adheres to stringent compliance standards, and we are dedicated to conducting our operations in an environmentally responsible manner. Continuously exploring innovative methods, MEMS actively reduces its carbon footprint and contributes to combating climate change through effective in-house environmental impact offsetting.

Achilles Carbon Reduce Certification
MEMS is the only power generation company in our sector to hold Achilles Carbon Reduce certification, now awarded for the second consecutive year. This independently verifies our carbon footprint and demonstrates year-on-year reductions, reinforcing our commitment to measurable accountability and transparent progress.

Initiating offsetting practices was merely the beginning. We are vigorously engaged in incorporating new technologies and adopting novel initiatives aimed at diminishing our environmental impact even further. The ISO14001 certification we hold is a testament to our serious commitment to environmental responsibilities. Furthermore, our eco-conscious waste management policy ensures that all used oil and coolant from our rental generators are disposed of in a manner that prioritises environmental protection.

Tomorrow is not guaranteed; we at MEMS understand the gravity of this commitment.
