sustainability_report p.59
Boiler fuel substitution from conventional furnace oil and high-speed diesel to renewable biomass briquettes for steam generation across most sites. This is the primary driver of Scope 1 decline from 75,970 tCO2e (FY22) to 38,729 tCO2e (FY25) — a ~49% reduction.
sustainability_report p.59
Largest Scope 3 category. Reported 115,140 tCO2e in FY 2024-25 (down from 236,932 tCO2e in FY 2023-24). Suppliers required to abide by Supplier & Third Party Code of Conduct including ESG requirements; 64 suppliers assessed via desk-based ESG audits in FY 2024-25.
sustainability_report p.84
Scope 3 transport categories total ~44,000 tCO2e in FY 2024-25. Mitigation includes shifting from air to sea shipments where feasible, local sourcing to reduce long-haul logistics emissions, and eco-friendly reusable multi-layered cold storage packaging for one main product to reduce CO2 emissions in distribution.
sustainability_report p.86
Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) systems implemented at 18 manufacturing sites. 25% reduction in water consumption vs 2020 baseline; transitioning from groundwater to surface water at multiple sites; rainwater harvesting to recharge local aquifers. Target: water-positive by 2030.
