Integrated Annual Report 2024-2025

Mitigating climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions We are aware of the growing risks of climate change and recognise the need to mitigate its challenges by reducing greenhouse emissions, adopting sustainable practices across the operations and remaining committed to reducing the carbon footprint through ongoing initiatives. Achieved a 25% reduction in steam usage by optimising unit operations and a 29% reduction in power consumption by enhancing utility and operational efficiency in a plant thus reducing the carbon footprint. Reduced PNG consumption in a plant by 64%. Used 70 TPD steam generated from process heat in a plant and recovered 100 TPD of steam from distillation operations, reducing the use of carbon fuel in production. SDGs impacted Managing pollutants We effectively managed pollutants through reduction, recycling and reuse, ensuring compliance with sustainability standards and promoting a circular economy. Achieved a 20% reduction in solid waste disposal by eliminating the use of Hyflow in filtration process during the manufacturing of a product. Introduced process improvement in a few products to decrease generation of pollutants and recovered a product for reuse. Optimised raw material usage in a few products, resulting in reduced liquid effluent generation. SDG impacted Conserving water through responsible water management We are committed to managing water responsibly through efficient usage, recycling and various conservation initiatives. Achieved a reduction of 10.74 kL/MT in freshwater consumption during the manufacturing of a product by recycling wastewater. Attained a 23% reduction in water consumption in a plant by recycling multi-effect evaporator condensate and vacuum belt filter wash water in process. Optimised water consumption by improving the washing process in the manufacturing of select products and recycling condensate water in others. SDG impacted 34 Integrated Annual Report 2024-25
