At Electra Mining Africa and within the broader Montgomery Group, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact and embedding sustainable practices across our organisation and the events we deliver. This policy outlines our focus on lowering greenhouse gas emissions, reducing waste and encouraging responsible operations both internally and with our partners.
Environmental sustainability is one part of our wider Corporate Social Responsibility commitment, which also includes business ethics, legal compliance and human rights principles such as equity, diversity and inclusion.
Our PurposeMontgomery Group exists to serve our world, nurture relationships and create opportunities. Our full purpose statement is available at www.montgomerygroup.com/our-purpose-and-history/.
Our ValuesOur sustainability approach is guided by the Montgomery Group values:
-
Ethically Commercial – We make responsible decisions that positively impact our community and the environment.
-
Growth Mindset – We seek better ways of working and continuously improve our sustainability practices.
-
Embrace Collaboration – We work closely with clients, suppliers and partners to deliver sustainable outcomes.
-
Empowerment – We encourage our teams to take ownership of sustainable change.
We acknowledge our responsibility to minimise our impact on climate change and proudly support the global Net Zero Carbon Events initiative. Through this commitment we aim to:
-
Support the events industry’s shared goal of achieving net zero by 2050
-
Contribute to common methods for measuring greenhouse gas emissions
-
Help develop the industry roadmap to net zero and reductions by 2030
-
Collaborate with suppliers and customers on aligned sustainability practices
-
Share progress transparently and adopt industry best practice
Because most emissions linked to events occur through contracted services, we are committed to working with all third-party suppliers to measure, monitor and reduce emissions from event-related activities.
Our CommitmentWe are committed to responsible event planning and operational delivery. This includes:
-
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions across our business
-
Minimising waste and promoting recycling and reuse
-
Encouraging responsible sourcing and sustainable materials
-
Supporting low-impact travel and logistics
-
Working with venues and suppliers who share our sustainability goals
-
Continuously reviewing and improving our environmental performance
Sustainability is a shared responsibility. Every team member plays an important role in embedding environmental best practice into daily operations and event planning.
To support this, we will:
-
Provide appropriate training and resources
-
Integrate sustainability objectives into internal processes
-
Encourage collaboration and idea sharing across teams
-
Engage staff in shaping future sustainability goals
-
Monitor progress and regularly assess performance
Our long-term success relies on a culture where sustainability is understood, embraced and consistently practiced across all levels of the organisation.
