They also separately verified that the emissions avoided by the use of AESSEAL’s Water Management Systems, totalled 64,200 tonnes of CO2e in 2020, which is a net benefit to the environment. Group Managing Director Chris Rea said, “We need to continue the journey beyond Net Zero, not just at AESSEAL but at every company that has an interest in the future of this planet”, he added. ## [![bw-evcar](https://betterworld.solutions/hubfs/Betterworld/news/bw-evcar.jpg)](https://betterworld.solutions/articles/electric-vehicles-are-critical.html)   ![](https://betterworld.solutions/hubfs/Betterworld/chris-rea-thumb.jpeg) Written by Chris Rea, Group Managing Director, CBE, DL, BSc, CEng, HonFIMechE.
