   As an ESG-focused company, our operations align with SDG 7 and SDG 13, which are dedicated to ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all and the urgent need to combat climate change and its impacts. This we achieve through our cooking gas advocacy campaigns aimed to promote the adoption of cooking gas in underserved communities across the nation by reducing their over-dependence on other solid fuels such as charcoal, kerosene, and firewood.This was why in collaboration with our sponsors, we pioneered the penetration of cooking gas at the grassroot level across the nation by donating free pre-filled gas cylinders within these communities. Through innovative collaborations, we conduct these giveaways largely through our trash for gas campaign or our palliative events. Our Trash For Gas campaign allows us tackle two environmental challenges at once because recipients are required to exchange a stipulated amount of trash for pre-filled cylinder units. Through our palliative events, recipients are not required to pick up trash, rather, gas cylinders are donated to them as a way of alleviating the economic hardships.
