Committed to sustainability
One of the core areas where Vianet is making a difference is in its commitment to achieving net-zero carbon consumption by 2030. From an internal perspective, the initial focus has been in its head office and reduction in carbon consumption, and it has set ambitious targets and is making remarkable progress.
Through its sustainability project, Vianet has implemented initiatives such as installing solar panels, switching to LED lighting, and optimising energy consumption, aiming for an 86% reduction in annual carbon consumption by the end of 2023. This will reduce carbon consumption from approximately 78 tonnes to just 11 tonnes per year.
What Vianet is able to do for its customers is as important if not more so. Beyond its internal operations, Vianet's SmartVend vending management system empowers customers to reduce their own carbon footprint.
By utilising data insights, based on the software and services Vianet provides, businesses can minimise waste, optimise stock management, and reduce unnecessary trips – this, in turn, reduces operational cost, fleet size, and number of journeys to vending outlets.
Vianet's telemetry technology also plays a crucial role in sustainability initiatives by enabling real-time monitoring and event-based alarms, reducing unnecessary callouts and fuel consumption.
With its dedication to sustainability and environmental responsibility, Vianet continues to carve a solid reputation as a leader in the corporate world. Through its efforts to achieve net-zero carbon consumption and empower customers to do the same, Vianet proves that businesses can thrive while making a positive impact on the planet.
