Why HVO Matters

HVO is a sustainable alternative to traditional diesel, offering up to 90% lower greenhouse gas emissions. By incorporating HVO-compatible machinery into our fleet, we are actively contributing to:

Lowering our operational carbon footprint
Reducing air pollutants in local communities
Supporting the transition to cleaner construction practices

Aligned with ISO 14001 Standards

This initiative is fully aligned with our ISO 14001 Environmental Management Certification, reinforcing our commitment to environmental compliance, pollution prevention, and continuous improvement.
