Our responsibility
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) standards
We put the planet and its people first. At our manufacturing sites, 78% of our energy needs are already met by renewable sources like solar and wind power. But we’re not stopping there. We have targets in place to achieve:
- 90% renewable energy by 2026
- 100% renewable energy by 2030
To further reduce our environmental footprint, we’re using LPG in our boiler systems to lower carbon emissions, and we’ve adopted water recycling and desilication processes to maximize water recovery and minimize raw water usage.
But sustainability isn’t just about the environment. We’re deeply invested in uplifting the communities where we operate, such as in Doddaballapur, India. From installing water plants to improving local schools, we take action to support and develop these communities. It’s not just our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) – it’s our commitment to creating lasting positive impact.
