As part of our ongoing response to environmental and sustainability issues we started looking for a solution from the traditional suppliers of energy and we concluded that the solution was in the natural resources that are readily available. Econet Energy was launched during 2010 and 2011 as a representation of our commitment to take leadership in encouraging the use of renewable and eco-friendly energies, securing a sustainable future for business and our environment. As a proactive response to environmental issues and we have started installing ‘green’ base stations.
In addition to powering the core network infrastructure, we are also distributing solar chargers, solar lanterns, solar powered mobile handsets, solar panels, and will assist in the ongoing changeover to solar powered traffic lights nationally.
