Our ‘water responsible’ role is evident from the following strategies on sustainable water management: • Water Conservation
through audits, benchmarking and use of ‘next’ practices to achieve the lowest specific water consumption (water per unit of production)
• Zero Wastewater Discharge
treating and recycling all wastewater, thereby not only reducing fresh water intake but also preventing pollution of fresh water resources.
• Creating a Positive Footprint
through rainwater harvesting, both on the Company’s premises and socially relevant watershed projects. |
In India, conservation, optimal utilisation and management of water are extremely important - not only for economic development but for sheer survival. Many parts of the country face acute water scarcity. This is not surprising given that India accounts for only 4% of the world’s water resources, utilised by a population estimated to be around 18% of the world’s total.
