Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship (ESG)​

The report details the company's strategic efforts across environmental protection, resource management, and ethical sourcing.

Energy and Climate Action​

The company continues its carbon emission reduction journey and has developed a dedicated ESG roadmap. Significant focus is placed on energy transition and efficiency:

• Renewable Energy: Transition to renewable energy sources, including hybrid wind and solar power at Dahej and Solar for Tarapur facilities, stands at approximately 35% of Operating Power and is in the implementation stage.
• Energy Generation: At the Tarapur facility, agro-based briquettes are used as fuel for boiler operations, which is integrated with a Back Pressure Steam Turbine co-generation system, resulting in power generation of around 100 MW per month and helping reduce the carbon footprint.

Water Management​

Water stewardship remains a key area of focus. The company achieved a significant regulatory milestone by receiving Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) consent from the State pollution control board for the Tarapur facility. This commitment is supported by existing wastewater treatment and recycling systems at the plant, ensuring water reuse in operations. Total water consumption was recorded at 2,82,559 kiloliters during FY 2025-26.

Waste Management​

The company maintains a circular economy approach toward waste management, aiming to eliminate waste and continuously reuse resources. The report notes that hazardous waste is diverted for pre-processing or co-processing in cement industries, while ETP sludge is sent for disposal at a designated waste management plant.

Industry Compliance and Grievance Redressal​

The company’s commitment to responsible operations was demonstrated through adherence to environmental regulations and grievance mechanisms. The Tarapur unit is designated as ZLD by the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board, with systems including Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR), stripper column, pre-treatment facilities, and Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD) in place for concentrated rejects treatment.

The company’s stakeholder engagement involves a comprehensive framework for grievance redressal across all operational aspects, ensuring issues raised by employees, customers, and communities are registered and addressed through internal policies and committees.

Management Oversight​

Mr. Nirmal Momaya, Managing Director, is identified as the highest authority responsible for implementation and oversight of the Business Responsibility policy, operating under the guidance of the Board of Directors and its committees. The company's operations are supported by multiple global subsidiaries across various countries, including locations in Italy, Brazil, Canada, and Mexico.
