ABB IEC Low Voltage Motors – IE6 Synchronous Reluctance (SynRM) motor range
Electric motor-driven systems today use 60% of industrial electricity demand. For decades, improving efficiency meant accepting trade-offs: rare-earth magnets, volatile supply chains, and compromised reliability. ABB’s IE6 Synchronous Reluctance (SynRM) safe area motor range changes that.
As the first manufacturer to achieve the anticipated IE6 efficiency in a magnet-free design, ABB has redefined what industrial motors can deliver. Available from 110 to 450 kW, IE6 SynRM motors reach efficiency levels previously considered unattainable.
Upgrading a 110 kW application from IE4 to IE6 saves €2,560 and 4,610 kg of CO₂ annually, with payback in around eight months – compounding to 92,200 kg of CO₂ avoided and €51,200 saved over two decades. Proven across global installations and scalable across industries, IE6 SynRM technology is the new baseline for industrial efficiency – available today.
* Assuming 8760 hours running time at 75% power and an energy cost of €0.2 per kWh

Solgen – Solar Hybrid Power for Off Grid Sites
SolGen is a UK designed and manufactured solar hybrid generator created to replace traditional diesel generators on off grid sites with cleaner, quieter and more intelligent power. Developed in house since the first prototype in 2023, SolGen combines solar harvesting, lithium battery storage, smart energy management and an HVO compatible backup generator in one mobile road towable unit. Its unique tracking solar panel array follows the sun to maximise solar gain, while remote monitoring records power use, solar production, fuel levels, battery status and CO2 savings. On customer sites, SolGen has delivered major reductions in fuel use, emissions, generator runtime and noise. At Anglian Water, one unit achieved 91 percent solar use, 45 fully solar powered days and 23,378 kg CO2 saved over 62 days. At Skanska, SolGen reduced fuel use by 93 percent and saved 22,174 kg CO2 over 52 days.

Jangro – Cleaning that’s genuinely good; for people, planet and purpose
Cleaning that’s genuinely good; for people, planet and purpose.
The professional cleaning industry has long run on petrochemicals; fossil fuel-derived actives that persist in the environment and expose cleaning operatives to unnecessary chemical hazards every working day. Jangro ntrl was built to change that. By replacing petrochemical actives entirely with biotechnology and naturally derived ingredients, the range delivers independently verified environmental savings, safer working conditions and a certified sustainability portfolio spanning Global GreenTag, Vegan Society and EU Ecolabel – with every social impact commitment funded from Jangro’s own budget, never passed on to customers. The results speak for themselves: 37.9% average CO₂e saving across 30 products; 4,044kg of ocean-bound plastic recovered; 4,029 UK trees planted; and 24% year-on-year commercial growth – with 16 new lines added and the most sustainable formats growing fastest. This is responsible procurement without compromise, delivered at scale.
