30 percent of ABC electricity from alternative energy ABC, retail and mall developer, announced the positive results of its photovoltaic power plant ABC, retail and mall developer, announced the positive results of its photovoltaic power plant at ABC Achrafieh and its waste management program implementation. The retailer succeeded in 2015 in generating 31 percent of the needed electricity at ABC Achrafieh, which is enough power supply for 300 households. The waste management program was implemented during the last six months of 2015 in collaboration with Zero Waste Act, part of Contra International. The numbers and statistics from that period have shown that ABC has recycled more than 100,000 kilograms of recyclable materials, which is equivalent to eight times those recycled in a municipality of 800 people if taken within that same time frame. Nadine Labaki, ABC Corporate Social Responsibility Ambassador said that these numbers and encouraging results serve as a catalyst for ABC to continue its efforts to provide effective environmental solutions. Launching both the photovoltaic power plant and the waste management program is in fact part of a comprehensive plan to support and provide solutions for humanitarian, social and environmental issues. Labaki said that both projects are real paradigms, which should spread across the country so that each individual works towards the restoration of a greener Lebanon. The company has succeeded in involving all shops and restaurants at ABC malls as well as its administration, executive team, employees and customers in the program. ABC has scheduled a series of awareness workshops within its branches in Achrafieh and Dbayeh during the month of March. This has been done in collaboration with Zero Waste ACT, Cedars Environment, Terre Liban, and Arcenciel. These workshops will target school students and customers from all age groups as part of ABC efforts to spread environmental awareness and a culture of waste sorting and recycling.
