Enable the energy transition through sustainable mining

Taking steps towards ESG compliance will enhance community and regulatory relationships and help improve profitability. According to a 2021 PwC report, firms with superior environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ratings have a distinct competitive advantage. Reliably meeting ESG requirements starts by making intentional operational decisions that reduce energy consumption. From the initial feasibility study to the detailed design, execution, and operation stages, Danfoss Drives application and engineering experts are with you for the long haul. Installed drives are backed by our local service and support teams of dedicated drive specialists with proven mine site application and installation experience.
