Commitment to climate action
Powering low-carbon operations
Our Peenya and Sompura facilities have been designed as green factories. Aligned with the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) guidelines and certified as IGBC Platinum-rated buildings, they ensure minimal carbon footprint. Their key features include:
- Over 50% green space coverage
- Infrastructure optimised for natural lighting and ventilation through translucent roofing, large windows, turbo ventilators, and open-plan workspaces, reducing energy consumption
- 1,300 kW rooftop solar plant, meeting a majority of our energy requirements with surplus supplied to the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM)
- Energy-efficient net-metered system
Product stewardship
Our R&D efforts are dedicated to pioneering high-efficiency and energy transition solutions for sustainable power generation across industries. Key efforts include:
- Established a robust portfolio of thermal renewable products like waste heat recovery, biomass, and waste-to-energy, including refuse-derived fuel and municipal solid waste
- Advancing innovative heat and power solutions for energy transition
- Developing technologies that convert low-grade heat, thermal or gaseous form, into power
