CARBON FOOTPRINT

You've probably heard about the environmental trend of companies reducing their carbon footprint. What is it and why is it important to everyone? Let's figure it out.

A carbon footprint is the sum of all greenhouse gas emissions produced directly or indirectly by a person, organization, product, city or government. It is measured in metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2). Greenhouse gases are the main cause of global climate change. Carbon footprint is part of the global ecological footprint. Human activity has already led to an increase in the temperature of the Earth, as a result of which the weather has become changeable, droughts, floods, and fires have become more frequent. With climate change and increasing weather instability ranked ninth on the list of top business risks, business analysts say it is in companies' interests to reduce their impact on the climate.

A company's carbon footprint is usually divided into three main groups:

  1. direct emissions from own factories, offices and vehicles.

  2. emissions from electricity use, heating and cooling.

  3. all other indirect emissions from supply chains and the life cycle of products manufactured by the company.

Since September last year, a waste management educational program has been implemented at Kh. Dosmukhamedov University. West Dala actively participated in the development of this program.

West Dala sponsored the regional openboxing tournament among boys born in 2009–2010 and 2011–2012, dedicated to the memory of public figure Zhalau Mynbaiuly.

West Dala volunteers took part in an environmental campaign organized by the public foundation “Atameken Eco” in the “Otbasy” park.

On January 31, 2025, West Dala successfully completed its work on the FGP Project at Tengiz. Our Partner, TengizchevroilLLP, organized a formal gathering to mark the project’s completion and honored outstanding contractors. Among the top performers was the West Dala Team at Tengiz, which was awarded a silver medal. In the Certificate of Appreciation signed by Richard Morgan, FGP/WPMP Talent Manager, it was noted that this award was given for significant impact and impeccable service.

This year, West Dala facilities once again participated in the international environmental initiative, «Earth Hour.» To support the event, external and internal lighting at WMF, Integrated landfill, Tengiz, Uzen, and Koshanai was turned off for one hour, from 20:30 to 21:30, as a reminder of the importance of environmental conservation and responsible resource use.
