EnviroServ Prioritises SHEQ and Environmental Stewardship with Over 45 Years of Expertise

With over 45 years of experience in managing hazardous and non-hazardous waste streams, EnviroServ remains a leader in mitigating environmental risks and ensuring a sustainable future. With a legacy of positive impact, EnviroServ is dedicated to sustainable practices and ensuring the planet’s safety for future generations. The company’s strong focus on safety, health, environmental quality (SHEQ), and environmental stewardship underscores its dedication to protecting the planet, its people, and the communities it serves.

The environmental risks associated with poor waste management practices are severe, with potential consequences including contamination of water sources, harm to wildlife, and damage to ecosystems. EnviroServ recognises the importance of effective waste management in minimising these risks and maintaining a safe and healthy environment.

“Protecting the environment is at the core of everything we do,” says Dean Thompson, Chief Executive Officer. “Whether it's managing hazardous waste, addressing water challenges, or adopting innovative recycling solutions, we are committed to ensuring a safe and sustainable future for all.”

EnviroServ’s structured approach to waste management includes ensuring the safety of personnel and minimising environmental impact. As part of its ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship, EnviroServ is tackling major challenges such as lack of recycling at the source by promoting recycling at the source and working with customers in various industries to transform waste into valuable resources. The company partners with local stakeholders and international leaders like SUEZ to adopt cutting-edge solutions that drive sustainability across Africa.

EnviroServ goes beyond basic waste management, focusing on long-term solutions, including green landfill approaches. “We believe that sustainability begins with innovative solutions,” says Thompson. “From circular economy initiatives, including waste diversion programmes, we’re setting the standard for the future of waste management.”

The recent acquisition of EnviroServ by SUEZ, a global leader in water and waste management, along with local partners such as Royal Bafokeng Holdings and African Infrastructure Investment Managers, has strengthened the company’s capabilities to deliver sustainable solutions across the continent. Thompson states that he is excited about the future of the environmental services sector, especially as EnviroServ now has the capability to offer water and wastewater management due to SUEZ’s expertise in this area.

Different industries can benefit from the expertise of an entity that can tailor solutions to meet specific needs. As part of SUEZ, EnviroServ is able to leverage global resources to help customers achieve their sustainability and circular economy goals. The company customises solutions that speak directly to the needs of its customers, regardless of industry. The team assesses long-term objectives and implements the best solutions through tailored approaches.

EnviroServ’s operations are guided by the company’s tagline, "Environmental Peace of Mind," a promise to provide value to stakeholders through legal compliance, safety, and sustainable practices. With its experienced on-site teams, EnviroServ continues to handle significant waste volumes daily, safely managing materials while diverting tons from landfills and minimising environmental impact.
