We recognise that water is a shared resource that is critical for our operations as well as our communities. The challenge of water scarcity is only going to increase and as a socially responsible company, we have been partnering with our communities to improve the availability of water in the ecosystem near our plants by increasing the infrastructure to harvest rainwater. We implement integrated watershed development in villages nearby to our factories to improve their water security. We undertake initiatives like pond cleaning, desilting, check-dams, irrigation canal lining, training farmers on micro-irrigation systems, and integrated pest and soil health management. Our projects begin with a need assessment to form a baseline and conclude with an impact analysis to measure the outcome. This has ensured the strengthening of ecosystem services for water supplementation for indoor use, water supplementation for food production, and groundwater recharge.
