Advario the storage industry . If you look at our sustainability report , you ’ ll see that about two-thirds of Advario ’ s yearly carbon footprint derives from our electricity consumption . We ’ re acting to drastically reduce our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by gradually switching to more renewable electricity for our operations . For instance , our Galveston terminal in Texas was the first to operate using 100 percent carbonfree electricity , and our Texas City terminal will operate under a carbon-free electricity contract by mid-2023 . In Antwerp , we are looking at shifting from combustion engine vehicles to electrical vehicles .
What ’ s also very important to Advario is our people , as ‘ People and culture ’ is an integral enabler for our strategic ambitions . That is why we have focus areas for our people . We focus on ‘ Caring about individuals and communities ’ and delivered an excellent improvement on safety performance in 2022 . We also focus on ‘ Fostering talent while being inclusive and diverse ’, as we believe that a diverse workforce is critical for innovation , as it brings unique perspectives to the workplace . We strive to promote equity in our different departments and , as the energy and chemical industries continue to be male dominated , our recruitment process includes special efforts to achieve a gender balance across technical positions .
What would you say is the most rewarding aspect of your job ?
First of all , I find the quality and diversity of the people we work with and our various geographical presence very rewarding . As an international company , we have more than 40 nationalities in our workforce , and we are continuing to diversify our people .
