Green Energy

Our pursuit of renewable energy and emission reduction forms the backbone of our energy initiatives.

Solar Energy Integration

  • With reliance on solar installations, our facilities reduce fossil fuel use, cutting carbon emissions significantly.
  • All of our owned manufacturing facilities are equipped with solar installations which meet 50%-60% of the energy requirements of the facility, with the aim to be completely fueled by green energy by 2030.

Electric Vehicle Transport

  • Material movement between our units is powered by electric vehicles, decreasing transport-related emissions across operations.
  • We are expanding to include 2 more EVs to include all local transport through Electric Vehicles.

Rainwater Harvesting Systems

  • On-site solutions replenish groundwater reserves, reducing dependency on municipal water sources, especially during high-demand production cycles.
  • This initiative not only supports long-term water conservation but also ensures responsible resource usage.

Energy-Efficient Infrastructure

  • Equipped with LED lighting and low-energy systems, all our offices and factories prioritize reduced power consumption.
  • An energy monitoring system ensures continuous optimization, helping us align with sustainability objectives.

Water-Conserving Fixtures

  • Across all facilities, we’ve installed low-flow taps and water-saving systems, significantly cutting down daily water usage.
  • Coupled with water monitoring systems, these measures strengthen our commitment to responsible water management.

Zero Harmful Discharge

  • Our production processes are engineered to prevent the release of harmful emissions into air or water systems.
  • This ensures a clean, safe environment while upholding our commitment to sustainable manufacturing practices.

Environmental Certifications that Matter

Norquest’s dedication to sustainability is verified through globally recognized certifications, ensuring compliance with environmentally friendly manufacturing standards.

Higg Facility Environmental Module (FEM)
