An international Team for the respect of environmental policies

In the course of the last years and even decades, the protection of the environment has become a matter of increasing awareness and importance. Indeed, our global environment requires more and more exchange, trading, interaction, production and consumption in order to thrive. However, to combine the expansion of human activity and the well being of both, humans within the environment, regulations have to be passed and followed. International laws, protocols and many conferences have enacted regulations that are to bind all countries to a common goal, that is the reduction of the impact of detrimental human behaviour towards the environment, especially in terms of limiting the emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

The world commitment in the protection of the environment would not have been possible without some major conferences, including the Conference on the Human Environment in 1972 or the World Commission on Environment and Development in 1983. Moreover, additional major events in this regard are to be remembered such as The Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer in 1985, that was recognized by many as the most successful environmental agreement of all time; The Montreal Protocol of 1989, which aimed at the Protection of the Ozone Layer; The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in 1992, that lead to the creation of a Climate Change agreement, a convention on Biological Diversity and a convention to combat Desertification. The renowned Kyoto Protocol of 1997, committing Governments to reduce green house gas emissions, and the World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002, for the restoration of the world’s depleted fisheries for 2015, are also to be mentioned.

It was first the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in 1972 which marked the emergence of international environmental laws and set out the principles for many international environmental issues, including human rights, natural resource management and pollution prevention. These regulations, and a great number of others, have lead states, companies and people to a more responsible way to live, work, and consume.

Over the years, The meeco Group has made it a habit of taking part in international events and conferences promoting the use of renewable energies. In 2011 and for the five previous years, the company has been a regular attendant amidst the Intersolar Europe exhibitors, the world’s leading exhibition for the solar industry and its partners. Always looking to commit further in the promotion of clean energy The meeco Group hosted two editions, in 2011 and 2012, of a solar energy open-air event in the Chaco region in Paraguay, which aimed at providing information about the renewable energy sector and connect with local farmers, clients and solar energy partners. Lately in 2014, The meeco Group was part of the ZIMREC conference organised in Harare, Zimbabwe. The conference intends to connect companies to exchange and deliberate about strategic and technical solutions in order to integrate the Zimbabwean economy with an energy system transition.

As an innovative and dynamic provider of clean energy, The meeco Group made it its key goal to support clients and partners in their efforts to reduce their carbon emissions and to support the spur of economic growth by creating reliable, affordable clean energy turnkey solutions. All projects of The meeco Group have contributed to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. Among the numerous projects undertaken and completed by the company, some should be named for their model character: the sun2live off-grid residential system installed in Angola, Africa, that saves over 26 tons of CO2 emissions per year; the building-integrated photovoltaic skylight installation for the fashion store Bershka in Valencia, Spain, which represents a yearly saving of more than 11.31 tons of CO2 emissions; and the sun2roof installation on the Emporium shopping mall in Lahore, Pakistan, for the Nishat Group, representing a saving of 331 tons of CO2 emissions per year.

Sustainable development and the creation of shared values between The meeco Group and the society are two of the most important goals and core values of The meeco Group’s business ethic. By implementing subsidiaries in developed but also emerging countries, The meeco Group makes sure that it provides its innovative and technologically advanced solutions fairly and globally, in populated and remote areas. The first goal of the company is to support people in their strive of increasing their standard of living by using clean and renewable energy. The meeco Group acknowledges the current global situation regarding the environment and the waste made of precious and non-renewable energies as well as raw materials. Consequently, since its foundation, The meeco Group has been committed to work continuously to try to counter-balance the negative side effects of globalisation.

The very first and most important goal of The meeco Group is to make the access to all resources currently available possible for the next generation and the generations thereafter.
