Our focus on the environment
Renewable Energy
The transition of the Bowers Morrinsville Masonry Plant to solar power since January 2022 is a remarkable step toward sustainability and reducing the company’s carbon footprint. This strategic decision marks a pivotal moment in Bowers Brothers Concrete’s commitment to environmental stewardship and aligns seamlessly with Concrete New Zealand’s sustainability vision.
Harnessing the power of solar energy, the Bowers Morrinsville Masonry Plant has undergone a transformation, utilising cutting-edge solar panel technology to generate clean and renewable electricity. The installation of solar panels across the plant’s facilities enables the generation of sustainable energy on-site, significantly reducing reliance on traditional fossil fuels and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions.
The adoption of solar power at the Morrinsville Masonry Plant represents more than just a shift in energy sourcing; it embodies Bowers Brothers Concrete’s dedication to sustainable practices and corporate responsibility. By investing in solar infrastructure, the company not only mitigates its environmental impact but also sets a precedent for other businesses within the masonry manufacturing sector to follow suit. Bowers Brothers Concrete’s position as a trailblazer in sustainable manufacturing practices, showcasing a steadfast dedication to reducing carbon emissions and fostering a greener future.
By embracing solar power, Bowers Brothers Concrete demonstrates leadership in environmental sustainability within the industry, setting a high standard for operational efficiency and environmental consciousness. This transition not only enhances the company’s reputation as an eco-conscious leader but also underscores its role in driving positive change toward a more sustainable future for New Zealand and beyond.
