PT Mowilex Indonesia (Mowilex), a producer of premium paints and wood coatings, receives its fifth consecutive CarbonNeutral® certification from Climate Impact Partners.
Mowilex continues expanding its commitment to support Indonesia’s targets of using renewable energy for at least 34% of all power generation by 2030 and the country’s goal of reaching net zero carbon by 2060.
Carbon Emissions Reduction Strategy
To earn CarbonNeutral® company certification, Mowilex commissioned SCS Global Services to calculate its Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions according to The CarbonNeutral Protocol. In addition to cutting emissions through major technology and renewable energy investments, Mowilex supports offset projects that follow verified standards and advance several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
In March 2023, Mowilex inaugurated a state-of-the-art production plant designed to reduce carbon emissions by up to 7%. Automated power meters and cooling system technologies in the green plant decrease electricity usage by 15%. The plant’s zero-waste water system processes and cleans sewage water, which is then reused to irrigate green space that covers 37% of the plant grounds.
Additionally, new solar panels at the Mowilex headquarters are expected to cut that facility’s carbon emissions by up to 30%.
Mowilex offsets its unavoidable emissions by supporting renewable energy, biodiversity and responsible community development projects. For example, the company is advancing Indonesia’s clean energy transition by procuring renewable energy credits from the PLN Lahendong Geothermal Project. Mowilex supports the National Solar Power Development Program, which accelerates grid-connected solar projects in India.
Commitment to Sustainability
“
By investing in carbon reduction efforts, supporting offset programs aligned with our company values and sharing information with stakeholders and industry peers, Mowilex models how other companies can be environmentally responsible. We are committed to sustainability and quality and we’re incredibly proud to earn our fifth consecutive CarbonNeutral® company certification from Climate Impact Partners,” said Niko Safavi, chief executive officer of PT Mowilex Indonesia.
“
We are thrilled to celebrate Mowilex’s milestone five years of carbon neutrality,” said Carolyn Bacchus, vice president of Client Solutions Climate Impact Partners.
“
Through our longstanding partnership, Mowilex became the first manufacturer in Indonesia to be certified as a CarbonNeutral® company. Mowilex continues delivering significant climate and sustainable development impacts through emissions reduction projects,” added Bacchus.
