How MES Reduced Its Carbon Footprint by 69% in 2024!

Committed to a Greener Future

At MES, sustainability is more than just a corporate responsibility—it’s a core commitment to the planet and future generations. As part of our ongoing mission to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, we have taken decisive action to decarbonize our global operations.

One significant step in this journey has been our partnership with a global industrial technology leader through their Zero Carbon Project. As one of their top 1,000 suppliers, we embraced the opportunity to contribute to a net-zero future.

After four years of dedicated efforts and with a target to reduce C02e by 50% by 2025, we are proud to announce that MES has achieved a 69.3% reduction in carbon emissions, earning a CO2 reduction certificate as recognition of our progress.

The MES Carbon Reduction Project: A Four-Year Journey

Our path to decarbonization has involved a multi-pronged strategy focused on energy efficiency, operational optimizations, and sustainable partnerships. By aligning our carbon reduction efforts with those of our customers, suppliers, and vendors, we have created a ripple effect across our industry.

Carbon Reduction Achievements (2020-2024)

By the Numbers

• 69.3% – Overall reduction in CO2 emissions intensity per unit of sale
• 84 metric tons – Scope 1 (direct GHG emissions) in 2024, compared to 58 metric tons in 2020
• 2.4 metric tons – Scope 2 (indirect GHG emissions) in 2024, compared to 181 metric tons in 2020

Sustainability Initiatives: How We Achieved It

To make meaningful progress in reducing our carbon footprint, MES implemented a range of sustainability initiatives, including:

• Energy surveys and audits – Conducting comprehensive assessments to identify areas for energy conservation.
