International Breweries has expressed its commitment to drive sustainability through the commenced use of gas-powered trucks to distribute its products across the country.
A statement said while speaking at the unveiling of the International Breweries’ first instalment delivery of 540 gas-powered trucks at its Gateway Plant in Ogun State, the Commissioner for Industry, Trade and Investment, Mrs Kikelomo Longe, who represented the Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, emphasised the importance of International Breweries to Ogun State and commended the giant brewer for yet another pioneering initiative.
She said, “The commissioning of 40 new eco-friendly gas-powered trucks is raising the bar and setting a standard that others must seek to follow. The positive effect on the environment is a major milestone which affects health, making the air cleaner.
“International Breweries has always been keen on eco-practices such as bio-gas converted from your bi-products, and using LNG to power your machines.”
Longe said that IBPLC should be a case study for industries operating in Ogun State.
During the launch, the Supply Director of International Breweries Plc, Tony Agah, explained that the company had been consistently exploring ways to improve its operations and reduce the environmental impact of brewing activities.
