Carbon Neutral

CIMC Liquid Process Technology (CLPT), which includes the brands: Ziemann Holvrieka, Briggs of Burton, and DME Process Systems is committed to achieving climate neutrality by 2030 for its own operations.

Sustainability touches all our sectors and operations. Reducing water, energy, and process losses have always been something our group companies have done as part of engineering mindset towards Turnkey process projects.

It's great to develop other initiatives targeted our business conduct and future workforce to further expand our commitment to a more sustainable future for our customers and ourselves.

Understanding our environmental impact & act where it matters most

While we are committed to carbon neutrality for our own operations (Scope 1 and 2), we are aware that we can make the biggest impact in our value chain.
Our customers and suppliers play a key role to make the potential impacts reality. These facilities we jointly realise, are built to last for decades resulting in major impacts if run on fossil fuels.
In our upstream activities the use of steel and other raw materials combined with transport activities are focus areas, accounting for the majority of embodied carbon in our products.
We are continuously developing and improving our methodologies to calculate carbon emissions across our value chain (Scope 3), and further shaping reduction initiatives accordingly.
