As
part of its efforts in tackling environmental problems bedeviling the country,
the Dangote Group is collaborating with the Federal Ministry of the Environment
by sponsoring the 9th National Council on Environment.
A
statement from the conglomerate said the group decided to sponsor the NCE given
its penchant and track record for environmental issues.
“We
are an environment friendly group. Our factories are run with the global
acceptable standard. The Dangote Cement’s emission level of 30mg is far below
that of the EU, which is 50mg,” the statement said.
The
group noted that last year, it donated N2.5bn to help mitigate the impact of
flooding across the country.
The statement said “Dangote Cement, for instance,
has uncompromising investments in state-of-the-art bag filters at all its
plants to ensure minimal dust emissions, making Dangote one of the industry’s
greenest cement companies not only in Nigeria, but across Africa.
“Pollution
control is accorded to priority with regular monitoring with action plans put
in place to reduce emissions in tune with national and international statutory
control guidelines.”
