APEX ETG’s Sustainability Strategy

Sustainability is at the heart of our business and our purpose in creating lasting value for our clients and society. To this end, it is about integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations into our decision making, every day. As a solutions and services provider, our focus is on contributing to better outcomes for our clients, people, partners, suppliers, and the environment. APEX ETG is uniquely placed as a trusted partner to help facilitate sustainable, responsible and efficient operating procedures. By working together, we collectively contribute to a low carbon future.

In the battle against global warming, APEX ETG supports companies in heavy industries reach their carbon neutrality targets by offering sustainable alternatives to wear part replacement and R&D collaboration opportunities to pursue green energy innovations. Refurbishing, reinforcing and repairing wear parts damaged by friction, impact, corrosion with refined hard-facing processes minimising waste, reduces downtime, costs and is a sustainable approach for businesses.

Mining, one of our focus markets, has a crucial role in supporting rising living standards and the transition to a low carbon economy. As an extractive industry, mining faces scrutiny. In response, mining companies are increasingly setting climate change targets, including committing to ‘Net Zero’ emissions by 2050. But to get there will require innovation in a traditionally conservative industry. APEX ETG is actively working with mining equipment OEM’s to research, develop, test and analyse real world innovations in the field. Advanced and sustainable laser cladding hard-facing processes improve onsite extraction efficiencies by reducing weight with streamlined design with less moving parts, reducing consumption of fuel, and increasing excavator heaped capacity.

APEX ETG’s collaborative R&D efforts with OEM’s and service providers is aiding the mining, mineral processing and a range of industries move towards sustainable practices with laser clad hard-facing on excavators, screens, crushing, wear parts and many more applications. We’re excited to be working on new lines of business services that we hope will further support our clients, contribute to the community, and enable a just and fair transition to a cleaner global economy.

According to The United Nations, actions need to be taken to limit global warming to 1.5C “as called for in the Paris Agreement, greenhouse gas emissions must begin falling by 7.6 % each year starting in 2020”. We all need to do our part as individuals, businesses, industries, communities and as a society to make a better future for the world by finding ways to reduce, reuse, repair and recycle.
