Environment • Committed towards cleaner, greener and healthier environment by implementing stringent standards & policies for Environment in our unit • Making steel through Electric Arc Furnace route which is significantly more environment friendly than Blast Furnace route. Most of our competitors are making steel through Blast Furnace route • In 2015, installed Secondary Fume Extraction system with investment of Rs. 12 crores, to capture dust going into air. Its annual operational cost is approximately Rs. 5 crores • On our journey of expanding production capacity from existing 2 lac TPA to 2.80 lac TPA, we are also leaping step forward in tightening our norms towards environment protection. These include development of Greenbelt of over 33% existing land area, emissions below 30 ppm against 150 ppm followed by most of our competitors, zero liquid discharge and reduction of substantial water extraction even after expansion. Apart from this, we are developing forest on 5 acres of land owned by Vardhman Textiles Ltd. situated at middle of Focal Point, Ludhiana with Japanese technique known as “Miyawaki”. This will be unique facility on such large area for benefit of environment and society at large. All this will be done with total capital outlay of over Rs. 30 crores • Aspire to plant 1,000 acres of forest in next 15 years in Punjab • Plan to replace Furnace Oil with Natural Gas (being Greener Fuel), thus reducing load of carbon emissions going into environment • Trees are planted every year to increase green area in and around factory, planted over 52,000 trees till March 2023 and also undertaken parks and other areas for development • Focusing on water conservation by recharging water through 7 rainwater harvesting pits in factory and adopted more than 10 ponds for desilting • Install renewable solar power plants in next 2-3 years to reduce carbon footprint • Target – to bring down carbon footprint below 0.5 by 2030 and 0 by 2050, well ahead of India’s target of net 0 by 2070 • Disposing all types of wastes being generated in factory through agencies duly approved by Pollution Control Board Social Support principles of inclusive growth and equitable development through CSR initiatives for sustainable development in core business activities We have made several contributions towards: (i) Preventive & Promoting Healthcare and Sanitation (ii)Towards Environment sustainability (iii) For Promoting Education (iv) Towards Women Empowerment (v)Towards socially and economically backward groups
