Environmental responsibility is key to maintaining ongoing business sustainability.
At Dobbie we embrace environmentally sound technologies.
We have a strong environmental conscience.
At Dobbie we are proud of our environmental achievements and believe in leading by example by demonstrating that our industry can not only be environmentally sustainable but remain commercially viable whilst still positively contributing to the planet.
We generate our own solar energy, utilise recycled inputs, repurpose waste and manufacture 100% recyclable products. We have undertaken several programs aimed at increasing our environmental responsibility whilst decreasing our carbon footprint. These programs are often not cheap (e.g., Solar panels, Sand reclamation equipment, & LED conversions) but nevertheless there are solid business cases for these investments. Beyond the bottom line though, we seek to act as a responsible corporate citizen and reflect the attitudes and actions that our community expects of us.
At Dobbie we strive for Environmental Circularity
