In celebration of World Clean-Up Day 2025, JMG Limited, a leading provider of integrated electromechanical solutions in Nigeria, took its sustainability message to the streets of Gbagada, Lagos. Top executives and staff traded their suits for gloves and waste bags, clearing plastics and solid waste from the community where the company’s largest workforce operates.
The exercise went beyond sanitation—it encouraged residents and staff to embrace recycling, properly separate their waste, and take shared responsibility for building a cleaner, healthier environment in the community they call home.
This year’s World Clean-Up Day, held annually on September 20th, carried the theme *‘Textile and Fashion Waste.’* The focus was on addressing one of the world’s fastest-growing environmental issues, with textile waste generating over 92 million tons annually—overwhelming waste systems, polluting waterways, and exacerbating the climate crisis.
In light of this, the Group General Manager of JMG Limited, Rabi Jammal, reaffirmed the company’s strong commitment to environmental sustainability and expressed his satisfaction in actively participating in the clean-up effort to raise awareness about the importance of maintaining a cleaner environment.
He stated that JMG is committed to environmental preservation and has embraced the responsibility of waste management within its host community as a core value, aligned with the global principles of World Clean-Up Day.
The JMG boss further affirmed that sustainability is embedded in the company’s ISO certifications and reflected in its adoption of clean energy solutions. Notably, the installation of solar power at its headquarters is a strategic move to reduce carbon emissions, which pose serious risks to both human health and the environment.
Also speaking, JMG Limited’s Quality, Health, Safety and Environment Manager, Benedict Odamah, highlighted that the initiative would positively influence the company’s staff by encouraging active participation in environmental sanitation, proper waste disposal, and recycling practices.
He added that the exercise also aims to educate the host community on sustainable living and position JMG as a responsible corporate leader in environmental conservation.
Highlighting some of JMG’s clean energy practices, Odamah noted that the company’s installation of solar power at its headquarters and other operational sites is aimed at reducing its carbon footprint. He added that JMG also operates a sourcing hub where waste is immediately segregated at the point of generation for proper recycling.
Similarly, the Company’s Marketing Executive, Goke Atiba, stated that JMG takes pride in giving back to its host community, citing the donation of solar panels and inverters to power Primary Healthcare Centres across Lagos State as a key example.
A community resident, Kayode Adebayo, remarked: “Seeing JMG roll up its sleeves to clean the environment where they operate shows they genuinely care about our surroundings and our well-being. It gives us hope that together, we can make a real difference.”
JMG, with expertise in power generation, electrical infrastructure, vertical transportation, cooling systems, and air compressors, also offers clean energy solutions. Since 2018, the company has provided solar and hybrid power options through its Lithion inverters and batteries, followed by the launch of Livfast inverters and batteries in 2022.
In 2024, JMG expanded its solar portfolio with the introduction of LONGi solar panels, Deye lithium batteries, and Must solar inverters, further enhancing alternative power solutions for customers.
