3. ESG Data Monitoring
ESG:- Water Saving & Zero Waste to landfill
Overview:-
• Implemented water recycling systems to reuse treated wastewater for non-potable applications
(e.g., cooling, cleaning).
• Achieved Zero Waste to Landfill by enhancing segregation, composting organic waste, and
sending recyclable materials to authorized vendors.
• Identified water leakages in the pipeline and installed a digital water flow meter.
• Installed drip pipeline system in the garden to ensure efficient water usage and reduce wastage.

Key Outcomes:
• Saved approx. 12,70,000 litters of water in FY 2024-25.
• Diverted 100% of waste from landfills through recycling and responsible disposal.
• Contributed to corporate ESG goals and reduced environmental footprint.

ESG:- Water Saving & Zero Waste to landfill
Benefits after installing Push Taps :-
• Automatic Shut-Off: Push taps stop water flow after a set time, preventing
wastage from being left on.
• Reduces Overuse: Limits the amount of water used per use, especially in
public or high-traffic areas.
• Prevents Leaks: Less prone to being left dripping compared to traditional
taps.
• Supports Hygiene Without Waste: Allows handwashing without needing to
touch the tap again to turn it off.

Benefits Installing water softener machine :-

• Saves Money: Cuts down on energy costs and maintenance expenses over
time.
• Improves Recycling Potential: Treated soft water is easier to reclaim and
reuse within industrial processes.
• Reduces Water Waste Due to Leaks and Clogs: Less scale buildup means
fewer blockages and leaks in plumbing systems, preventing unnecessary
water loss.

ESG:- Future Plan for Water Saving

ESG Initiative: Future Plan for Water Conservation

Proposed Solution:
Implementing a drip irrigation pipeline system in garden areas.
Key Benefits:
• Water Efficiency: Delivers water directly to the roots, minimizing
evaporation and runoff.
• Cost-Effective: Reduces water bills by using significantly less water
compared to traditional sprinklers.
• Time Saving: Automating the system saves manual watering time.
• Supports Recycled Water Use: Compatible with graywater or
harvested rainwater systems.
