Optimizing our water management
ST’s Kirkop site recently commissioned the first module of the deionized water plant modernization initiative, enhancing production efficiency and minimizing water wastage. This technology ensures a consistent supply of high-quality water. Upon full modernization, we expect increased water recycling, reduced chemical and energy usage, and a more efficient water treatment infrastructure.
Preserving biodiversity
ST’s Kirkop site spans over 60,000 m² and features endemic and indigenous trees in dedicated habitats. Over the years, more than 12,000 plants and trees have been planted across Malta, including 950 plants ST gave to visitors during its Open Day back in 2019. In 2024, we established a 'Bird Park' within our garden, providing shelter for birds to further our commitment to biodiversity.
