Sustainability

Sustainability is a real but complex issue so, while some solutions are simple and straightforward, others require more investigation and testing to be sure that the results are positive across the “Three P’s” of Sustainability: People, Planet and Prosperity.
At Sir Juice, we’re taking the slow and steady approach, looking at what we can change simply, doing that first, then testing the more complicated changes thoroughly. We feel this thoughtful approach to sustainability is more likely to have longer-term meaningful change and will allow us to avoid falling victim to greenwashing and fly-by-night green ‘solutions’ which often cause more harm than good.
We’ve already implemented some great initiatives but know there is a lot more we can do. So keep your eye on this space for details on some of our future endeavours .
Water Usage
- By replacing our toilet cisterns in Joburg we now save about 170 000L's of water each year.
Energy
- We have implemented a distribution system which works towards maximum efficiency of our distribution network. This has seen really great reductions in our fuel consumption.
Waste
- In our Gauteng blending plant we have switched to a supplier of environmentally friendly chemicals. Once our trial of these chemicals has been completed we will roll this out to our Kwazulu-Natal and Western Cape branches.
Social
- In 2008 we launched our basic education project to ensure that all staff are able to drastically improve their literacy level.
