AVOID. REDUCE. OFFSET.
Net zero carbon emissions for the 5th consecutive year
PT Mowilex has announced the company’s fifth consecutive year of CarbonNeutral® certification. This year, Mowilex took a step further by purchasing a Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) to certify the use of renewable energy for the entire company’s electricity needs, which is the most significant contribution to Mowilex's emissions in this reporting year.
100% Carbon Neutral
As of 2019
Our journey to become carbon neutral started during our strategic planning process in February 2018. The impetus for this initiative was our desire, as an ethical, contemporary market leader, to expand the scope of our CSR activities to address sustainability. Indonesia faces critical climate change challenges. As of October 2019, we have become 100% carbon neutral. We became certified following a rigid process required by advisors who are among the global leaders in environmental advisory and certification.

Protecting 1500 KM²
of Ocean In Sumbawa, for 5 Years
As a large archipelago, Indonesia is largely reliant on its coastal waters for its food sources, and for its tourism industry. With the help of our shareholders, we have financially committed to a five-year effort by Conservation International (CI) to protect a sensitive marine area in Sumbawa that is home to the endangered whale shark. With our help, CI will continue to work with local governments and communities to maintain and protect Saleh Bay, and to develop environmentally sustainable tourism in the area.
80% Plastic Reduction
Within 8 Years
We are pledging to reduce our new plastics consumed in our packaging by 80% measured in tonnage, by 2027. We want to change consumer and shop-owner mindsets about plastics being the ideal packaging material. And, we hope to see consumer indifference, if not preference for packaging with recycled content which will have color imperfections. To succeed we will need the help of others in the industry, including logistics companies, as well as policy support for recycling. In our own consumption, we have already converted nearly all our offices and factory to use filtration to avoid plastic water bottles.

Committed to planting 50,000 trees
Upon reaching its 50th anniversary in 2020, Mowilex has committed itself to planting as many as 50,000 trees. This tree planting campaign is to express Mowilex's care towards the environment, as trees are a natural instrument that absorbs carbon from the air and turns it into oxygen. Trees are sources of life and are homes to thousands of species that seek shelter in them. In this 50,000 trees campaign, Mowilex calls upon the wider community to participate in planting "Pohon Asuh" ("Adopted Trees") and to receive a certificate of proof from Mowilex.
