DASHA PHARMA DECARBONISATION STRATEGY
At Dash Pharma we recognise that the Pharmaceutical Industry has a mayor role to play to decarbonise our planet and we wish to play a large part in tackling global warming.
We are taking action now because we recognise the correlation between healthy people and a healthy planet.
We therefore pride ourselves in reducing our science-based targets in Scope 1 and 2 by substituting fossil fuels as a source of fuel to green fuels such as bagasse and woodchip. These products are grown locally and will provide a larger part of our fuel source in the future. Our target is to produce 80% of our energy requirements using green sources by 2028 .
Not only are we reducing this dependency on fossil fuels, but we are also increasing our dependency on Solar energy using PV panels to generate electrical power.
