JMG Calls For Clean Energy, Proper Waste Management As World Marks Cleanup Day

As the world marks World Cleanup Day 2025, JMG Limited, Nigeria’s leading electro-mechanical solutions provider, has restated its commitment to environmental sustainability through clean energy adoption and effective waste management.

World Cleanup Day, observed globally every 20th of September, is aimed at tackling the global waste crisis and promoting sustainable environmental practices. This year’s edition themed “From Clean Plates to Clean Cities” focuses on food waste, responsible consumption, circular economy and sustainable urban waste management.

According to the company, the theme aligns perfectly with its sustainability blueprint which goes beyond physical cleanup to promoting cleaner and more efficient energy systems for homes, businesses and public institutions.

JMG Limited said environmental conservation should not be seen as a one-day activity but as a lifestyle that combines community participation, responsible consumption and smart energy choices for a healthier and more habitable society.

The company had demonstrated its community-driven approach to environmental responsibility last year when its management and staff joined residents of Gbagada, Lagos State, for a large-scale cleanup exercise. The exercise focused on evacuation of refuse, sensitization on proper waste separation and encouraging collective responsibility for keeping the environment clean.

But beyond community cleanup, JMG said its major contribution to environmental protection is helping organisations transition from conventional power sources to cleaner, reliable alternatives.

One of its flagship sustainability interventions is the solar hybrid power installation at the Agboyi-Ketu Primary Health Care Centre, Lagos. The project provides uninterrupted electricity for critical healthcare services including emergency care, maternity, immunisation and diagnostics, thereby improving service delivery while reducing carbon emissions.

Speaking on the company’s sustainability strategy, the Chief Commercial Officer of JMG Limited, Rabi Jammal, said the company’s approach is human-centred and technology driven.

“At JMG, our approach to sustainability is deeply human-centred, with a responsibility to apply innovation and technology to improve lives and protect the environment,” Jammal said.

He noted that JMG’s commitment to sustainability reflects its broader vision to use innovation to support communities, empower businesses and drive Nigeria’s industrial growth in an environmentally responsible manner.

As World Cleanup Day is marked across the world, JMG is urging businesses, communities and individuals to look beyond the visible waste on the streets and address the habits and systems that generate waste.

The company also called for more private sector involvement in environmental sustainability through adoption of renewable energy, proper waste disposal and promotion of circular economy.

JMG Limited adds value to consumers with professional services delivered by experts in mechanical, electrical/electronic, computer and chemical engineering. Its offerings span power generation, electrical infrastructure, vertical transportation, cooling systems and air compressors.

Through its solar and hybrid energy solutions, the company remains committed to driving sustainable development, empowering communities and supporting Nigeria’s economic growth.
