Environment and Social Concerns
Your Company continues its efforts for the betterment of the environment and conservation of scarce natural resources. Your Company continued �Rain water harvesting� initiatives undertaken during the previous year at its Vikhroli Factory and in the staff quarters at Vikhroli. So far 8,500 Sq. Meter of roof area has been covered under the rain water harvesting initiative and 22,500 M3 of water has been collected at the factory and staff quarters in Vikhroli. This process has resulted in saving water and consequently, the costs thereof. Recharging of two bore wells with rain water has also been undertaken, which resulted in improvement of yield and quality.
The Effluent Drainage System for carrying effluents from the chemical plants was upgraded. To prevent pollution to environment, waste from the factories is converted into an environment-friendly product and then disposed off safely.
More Areas of wasteland have been converted into gardens using water from the Effluent Treatment Plant. The Vikhroli factory continues to convert the bio degradable waste into bio compost with the help of an NGO. The process of bio composting has been enhanced with the use of enzymes to reduce the frequency of decomposition.
The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) – Sohrabji Godrej Green
Business Centre has evolved a Code for Ecologically Sustainable Business Growth. The Code comprises of �Ten Natural Capital Commandments�, which include, commitments to reduce specific consumption of Energy and Water, reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emissions and all kinds of waste. Your Company has been an early and enthusiastic adopter of this Code. Electricity produced by your Company�s wind mills have resulted in reduction in emission of CO2 for which your Company was granted CERs (Certified Emission Reduction). Unfortunately in the current year, the windmills have produced less electricity than expected. Your Company has started a concept of �Table For Two� under which the Company will sponsor mid-day meals to students coming from the underprivileged section of the society. Your Company is also in the process of signing an agreement with a logistics service provider for distribution of mid-day meals to a number of schools in Mumbai
