We have always strived to incorporate ecologically sound management into our industrial sites, offer our customers sustainable solutions and reduce the environmental impact of products over the entire product life cycle. Our new initiative, the Numeric Forest, is a step towards creating a greener future.” 

He further added “As a group, sustainability is at the core of what we do. As per our 2021 CSR report, we have avoided 13 million tonnes of CO2 since 2014, through our energy efficient solutions. We have set a target to avoid 12 million tonnes of carbon emissions by 2024. We are working towards achieving carbon neutrality throughout the Group value chain, by 2050”

As per the 2021 Forest survey report, the tree cover in the city has increased by nearly 1200 acres over the past decade. But we still have a long way to go to meet the global standards and plantation initiatives like this will add to the need to create a greener tomorrow.
