As part of its plans to reduce environmental impacts, Babcock Africa partnered with the National Cleaner Production Centre South Africa (NCPC-SA) to conduct resource-efficient and cleaner production (RECP) assessments across selected priority sites in South Africa, focusing on energy, water and waste management.
