World Nature Conservation Day 2025: Maximum Group Powers Conservation with Smart Lighting at Dan Tloome
World Nature Conservation Day, observed on 28 July, highlights the global need to protect natural resources and promote sustainable development. In 2025, the theme “Restoration, Resilience & Responsibility” resonates strongly with Maximum Group’s commitment to climate-smart infrastructure and green innovation.
Smart Lighting for a Greener Future
As part of its ongoing sustainability efforts, Maximum Group has overseen the installation of energy-saving lighting systems at the Dan Tloome Mega Project, a smart city development in Gauteng. These high-efficiency LED lights are designed to reduce electricity consumption by up to 70%, contributing to lower carbon emissions and improved energy management across the precinct.
This upgrade supports the Municipal Energy Efficiency and Demand Side Management (EEDSM) programme, which encourages municipalities to adopt technologies that reduce energy usage in public infrastructure.
Dan Tloome: A Model for Climate-Smart Urban Development
The Dan Tloome Mega City, spanning over 538,000 hectares, is built around principles of sustainable urban planning, featuring renewable energy, grey water treatment, urban farming, and now, smart public lighting. The integration of Maximum Group Digital’s technologies, including MaxiAI, MyLED, and blockchain-based systems, ensures that environmental data is monitored, energy use is optimized, and procurement remains transparent.
Economic Growth Meets Environmental Responsibility
As part of the 100 Million Jobs campaign, Maximum Group is creating employment opportunities in green sectors such as clean energy, smart infrastructure, and eco-entrepreneurship. The installation of energy-saving lights is part of a broader strategy to build climate-resilient communities while reducing operational costs and environmental impact.
Aligned with Global Sustainability Goals
Maximum Group’s initiatives support key UN Sustainable Development Goals, including:
- SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy
- SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
- SDG 13: Climate Action
By combining AI innovation with practical conservation measures, Maximum Group is helping shape a future where technology and sustainability go hand in hand.
