MEGA contributes to the achievement of the 17 UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development, continuously monitors its performance, and analyzes its progress in the Annual Sustainable Development Report.
Energy Consumption
At MEGA, we make every possible effort to reduce the consumption of energy (electricity for production) and fuel (vehicles transporting personnel, raw materials and merchandise), thus contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the reduction of global average temperature increase rate and the avoidance of the dramatic effects caused by climate change.
MEGA holds Green Energy Certificates certifying that the electricity consumed at its factory, facilities and offices comes from 100% renewable energy sources. At the same time, the company has set a target to maximize the share of energy self-generation from renewable energy sources by 2050.
Production Waste Management
As part of our environmental policy, we remain faithful to our commitment for correct collection and management of our production waste. We apply, on a large scale, environmentally optimum management, and disposal practices, diverting the vast majority of our production waste, from the landfill. Waste from the production processes of our industrial unit, is separated in its source of production, in order to achieve a high level of recycling and recovery of materials, converting the produced waste into useful materials or energy.
The following table presents the categories into which materials are separated, as well as the way we manage them:
Certifications
Demonstrating its commitment to the principles of the Circular Economy, MEGA has been certified under the international Zero Waste to Landfill standard for the period 2020–2025, achieving Platinum level (in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025), as it annually achieves a recycling and energy recovery rate of more than 99% for its production waste.
MEGA continues its dynamic investments in circular economy:
- by reducing over time the quantities of production waste resulting from the production process per product unit
- by increasing the recycling of materials in closed loops, reintroducing them into production
- by maintaining and developing new contracts for responsible waste management (recycling, energy recovery, etc.)
- by applying a strict separation at source system, while providing training on its employees on regular basis.
As a result, MEGA contributes actively on the achievement of Sustainable Goal 12 regarding the Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12).
In more detail, the company, proving in practice its dedication to the principles of circular economy, has received the following certifications:
