Environment

To be in line with our Mission Statement which is to promote the socio-economic development of the Republic of Mauritius, we target at becoming a Green Company.

We are therefore committed to the sustainable management of all our operations and take the responsibility to minimise our impact on the environment very seriously. We recognise that resource recovery is an important part of this commitment.

Several steps have been taken by Emtel to help protect our environment and more are being taken everyday.

To combat visual pollution, Emtel has stopped the use of traditional billboard networks and therefore uses only few billboards. We take care in not affecting the Mauritian scenery.


Recycle
We take responsibility for the proper recycling and disposal of hardware and paper waste that we generate. All ink cartridges at Emtel, whether inkjet or laser are collected and sent for proper recycling on a monthly basis. Paper waste is also collected and sent to a paper recycling company. Moreover, we are moving towards a paperless office.

All Emtel showrooms will soon be equipped with special boxes designed to collect used phone batteries. Members of the public as well as Emtel customers are most welcome to drop their batteries in those boxes. These will be sent to a recyling company where they will be disposed of in an environment-friendly manner.


Save Energy
The EmtelWorld building has been designed to save on lighting and air conditioning.

Emtel is actually looking into ways and means to use solar-powered cell sites. We have already introduced solar-powered signages to show our commitment.




Protect the Environment
We also have projects in the pipeline in view of beautifying our cell sites. We have already moved in this direction with 20 cell sites in the form of palm trees.

More anti-pollution and energy-saving projects are coming up as we intend to contribute as much as possible to making our country a healthy place to live in.
