Under Alberto Gambacorta’s leadership, Scatec will hone its focus on expanding its renewable energy portfolio in Southern Africa.
The telco supports a move away from linear consumption patterns to a circular economy, which minimises resource consumption.
The drive towards energy efficient equipment coincides with a broader industry movement to lower operational costs and carbon emissions, says Greg Griffith, senior product manager at Kyocera Document Solutions SA.
