ENVIROMENTAL PERFORMANCE
 
MATERIALS FLOW IN ITC BUSINESSES
 

The diagram above representing principal raw materials, that constitute more than 5% of total raw materials in our businesses, clearly demonstrates that our raw materials, significantly, are agri-based.

We also use very substantial quantities of wastepaper in our paper business and this is sourced locally as well as internationally.

Our initiatives in large-scale development of social and farm forestry plantations, watershed projects, empowerment of marginal farmers through e-Choupals provide us significant advantage in raw material sustainability.

Vertical and horizontal integration of our businesses provides us significant opportunity and synergy in eliminating/reducing our environmental footprint through optimal utilisation of materials, opportunity to recycle/reuse wastes and optimising logistics and transportation.

The above measures coupled with technology upgradation, extensive R&D and waste minimisation through product and process improvements help us improving long-term availability of necessary raw materials at optimum and competitive prices.
