Sustainability is at the heart of Tembo Steels’ operations, as it drives green steel practices in Uganda. The company has achieved a carbon emissions matrix close to 70%, far exceeding global averages. Awasthi emphasized the need for collective action in reducing CO2 emissions, especially as Uganda steel manufacturers strive to align with international sustainability standards.
In addition to its industrial achievements, Tembo Steels is deeply committed to corporate social responsibility in Uganda, contributing to healthcare and environmental initiatives. From producing oxygen during the COVID-19 crisis to conducting extensive plantation projects, the company underscores its dedication to community well-being.
