In 2014 Wisetek initially donated 1,200 batteries to the community, in co-operation with the Thai Ministry for Energy and the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT) to operate the installed solar panels that create an electricity source for the community. Since 2014, Wisetek has donated up to 9,600 batteries to the Deng Forest Community.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Environmental Week<\/strong> is an annual event within Wisetek that aims to encourage employees to take part in environmental activities.

It is our hope that Earth Day 2023 will again help to raise awareness of the importance of environmental stewardship among Irish and international businesses. I would like to thank all of our employees for their tireless efforts in executing our sustainability initiatives.
