Consumers are demanding green solutions. Recent research indicates more than 50 percent of Australian consumers say a sustainable lifestyle is important to them, supported by studies showing that products with ESG (environmental, social and governance) claims are outperforming competing companies. Using environmentally conscious equipment like the PPB can also strengthen the reputation of companies with regulators, suppliers and workers too.
John Stewart, CEO of Makinex, believes the PPB is a huge step towards renewable portable power for the construction industry –
“The Portable Power Box is revolutionary – a noise free, fuel free, emissions free portable solution. Construction companies are facing more environmental challenges than ever before – regulatory bodies are tightening restrictions on carbon emissions, and customers are demanding renewable solutions.
Our future-first tools like the PPB are crucial for businesses, big or small, in the industry – the investment is an accessible and affordable way to lower costs and reduce our environmental impact. It’s a win-win for industry and for the planet.”
