A commitment to decarbonisation
Context
At Seriti Green, our mission transcends the generation of renewable energy; it’s about catalysing a pivotal shift in South Africa’s energy paradigm. As the country stands today, heavily reliant on coal and positioned as the 15th largest emitter of carbon, our commitment to decarbonisation is not just essential, it’s urgent.
Our intention is clear: transition from the dominance of fossil fuels to embrace the abundance of renewable resources. This strategic shift is aimed not only at significantly reducing carbon emissions but also at tackling the broader impacts of climate change that threaten the fabric of our environment and society.
Benefits
Our objectives are multi-fold and deeply interconnected. By decreasing our carbon footprint, we aim to play a decisive role in limiting the global temperature rise, thereby curbing the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events. It’s about safeguarding our rich biodiversity, protecting delicate ecosystems, and mitigating the potential devastation of rising sea levels. Moreover, these efforts have a direct correlation with the well-being of our population, poised to improve public health across the board.
Seriti Green stands as a vanguard in transforming South Africa’s energy economy, not only in response to our current energy crisis but as a forward-looking measure that aligns with the global transition towards sustainable energy sources. Our Just Energy Transition (JET) strategy is inclusive and sensitive to the socio-economic dynamics at play, ensuring that as we strive for environmental progress, we also nurture social advancement. In the complex tapestry that is our national context, Seriti Green’s leadership in the energy sector is a beacon of hope and a testament to our dedication to a cleaner, greener, and more resilient South Africa.
