Environmental Impact

To reduce our carbon footprint, Tasman Rope Access has installed 132 solar panels onto the roof of the head office building. Electricity bills reduced on average by 68% in electricity consumption and subsequent greenhouse gas emissions. The initiative has resulted in an average monthly reduction of 3,837 kilograms of emissions, or equivalent to:

• the same amount of greenhouse gas emissions generated from driving 15,295kms in a standard sedan vehicle;
• 5 acres of forest required to be planted to offset the Co2; or
• 1,635 litres of fuel.
