Environmental Sustainability
With decades of experience in electrical integration we have honed our expertise in designing, manufacturing and integrating energy management services into existing infrastructure and the grid. This experience has enabled us to successfully develop and deliver diverse renewables projects including wind farms, solar arrays, hydrogen and bio-gas management.
Complementing this, we have taken steps to reduce our own carbon footprint by:
- Installation of a solar array of 2,140 360W panels at Brisbane Head Office
- Utilising recycled paper-based packaging for enclosures
- On-site aluminium can recycling programme
- Going paperless where possible
- Upgrading air-conditioning compressors for reduced power consumption
- Advanced nitrogen management system.
These initiatives are only the beginning of B&R's global sustainability journey. Our agile approach enables us to deliver proven solutions to our customers, leveraging our experience to mitigate risks in this rapidly evolving industry.
