In line with our “Energy and Environmental Management Strategy (EEMS)”, IPT built the First Sustainable Station in Lebanon. It is located in Amchit few meters away from IPT Headquarters. The sustainable station features advanced solutions and innovations in the field of energy and water conservation and pollution reduction. It is also fully automated and technologically advanced with health and safety measures and a green landscape.
The station was inaugurated in May 2019 in the presence of His Excellency Minister of Environment Mr. Fadi Jreissati and Member of Parliament Mr. Simon Abi Ramia in addition to 30 leading names in the fields of energy sustainability, social responsibility and the oil and gas sector.
His Excellency pointed out the role of the private sector in supporting public sector initiatives for a greener and cleaner future. He added: “This role model station is a challenge to us as Ministry of Environment, since 30% of the pollution comes from the transportation sector. We stand today in front of a solution that proves that the investment in environmental conservation does not contradict economic development and financial returns.”
Dr. Toni Issa, IPT Vice Chairman, explained the importance of similar projects for the future of the oil and gas sector and the Lebanese economy. He also assured that IPT will always put CSR at the core of its activities to guarantee a sustainable future.
