The company said, as a leading business organisation, it was educating the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) on driving positive change and fostering more ways of sustainable production and consumption to drive a better society conducive to economic development.

Group managing director of Dangote Cement Plc, Arvind Pathak made these remarks while speaking during Sustainable Living Fair, a discussion and exhibition programme held on Tuesday in Lagos, as part of activities marking this year’s Sustainability Week themed ‘Sustainable Production and Consumption – The Dangote Way.’

He said the Dangote Cement Sustainability Week is a yearly tradition of positively impacting its host communities, through employee volunteering, across our Nigerian and Pan African plants, as well as all Dangote business units.

Pathak explained that, “the journey to sustainability at Dangote Cement officially commenced in 2017 with the adoption of a Dangote Group wide seven Sustainability Pillars; cultural, economic, operational, social, environmental, financial and institutional, in every aspect of our business operations.”

According to him, “since the inauguration of the Dangote Cement Sustainability Week in 2018, employee volunteers have increased by 73 per cent, a testament to our vibrant Sustainability culture. This year, one of the activities earmarked for the commemoration of our sustainability week this year is the flagship Dangote Sustainable Living Fair which is aimed at showcasing the various components of a sustainable lifestyle.

“At the fair, members of our host communities, visitors as well as employees can learn to prioritise the use of natural and renewable resources. Exhibitors are provided with an avenue to exhibit their goods, educate, and proffer alternatives to consumers thereby creating a win-win situation.”

In his own remark, head, Learning & Development, Dangote Cement, Nurudeen Yusuf stated that, “in a world faced with pressing environmental challenges, it is imperative that we come together to address the urgent need for sustainable production and consumption.”

He said: “Today, we have a unique opportunity to witness the innovative solutions, groundbreaking technologies, and inspiring initiatives that are paving the way towards a more sustainable and equitable world.

“This exhibition serves as a powerful platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and inspiration. Here, we have the privilege of engaging with passionate individuals, organisations, and businesses that are leading the way in sustainable practices.”

Lagos State Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, who was represented by the deputy director, Climate Change and Environmental Planning in the Ministry, Mr. Bankole Michael urged the public to be self-discipline in waste disposal, saying,  “if we do not dispose our waste properly, it will find its way back into the environment and cause havoc on habitants.”

He noted that government spend so much money on cleaning the environment due to the unwholesome practices by some people and that such resources could have been spent on health and education, if the environment is not debased while emphasising that all we need to do is to make sure that we all live responsibly and sustainably.

Select members of the management of the Company as well as other stakeholders from host communities including the Nigeria Police Force dissected issues of climate change, global warming and the Circular economy which is technically referred to as Dangcircular in Dangote Group and efforts in place by the company to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
