Environmental sustainability is deeply embedded into our Company’s culture. As a purpose-driven Company, we strive to improve the lives of our people and the communities residing in areas where we operate by manufacturing more eco-friendly products.
We are making conscious efforts to limit our environmental impact by committing to low resource utilisation and producing innovative products. Our environmental initiatives are aimed at optimising resource utilisation and reducing climate-related threats by developing an energy-efficient portfolio. Our efforts in energy management, waste management, water conservation and emissions reduction help us operate sustainably.
As a manufacturing enterprise, energy consumption accounts for a significant portion of our Company’s carbon emission. Therefore, improving energy efficiency is vital. We have devised a performance-based energy management plan to limit our energy consumption, integrate renewable energy sources and embrace energy-efficient practices.
We leverage our innovation to design products that serve the needs of our consumers. With rising customer awareness and the government’s emphasis on energy regulation, our innovation is focused on producing energy-efficient products. We have undertaken several initiatives to improve energy efficiency, decrease emissions and optimise the use of natural resources. As members of the BEE star ratings, we try to develop energy-saving products that allow our consumers to live more sustainably. We are always working towards minimising GHG emissions across our operations.
The KAVACH initiative is a comprehensive EHS strategy implemented across all our product lines. It includes policies, procedures and work instructions. We are cognisant of our responsibilities in terms of health, safety and environmental management and we fully abide by all relevant and applicable laws that have been established by the government.
As the cornerstone of Crompton’s EHS system, we created a single IMS (Integrated Management System). We have established a thorough EHS scorecard across all of the units. This scorecard is evaluated periodically to assess performance and corrective and preventive actions are made whenever necessary.
We also adhered to and exceeded the EMS 14001 criteria, which were integrated throughout all our product lines. To reduce the environmental effect of our operations and enhance safety even further, the heads of our manufacturing sites meet on a monthly basis to discus EHS concern, solution and share best practices to enhance the health and safety at workplace. They also discuss on topics including reducing hazardous waste with 3R approach, while optimising water and energy use.
At Crompton, we recognise the importance of conserving energy through the use of clean technologies. Over time, we have increased the percentage of renewable and clean energy in our energy mix. Across all our manufacturing plants, we strive for operational excellence. The use of renewable energy infrastructure not only allows us to decrease our carbon footprint, but also helps in reducing our power costs per unit.
We are mitigating the impacts of climate change by implementing various carbon-neutral measures across our facilities. Given the nature of our business, greenhouse gas emissions from our offices and industrial units form the biggest environmental footprint we generate. We intend to minimise our emissions through a multi-pronged approach that includes green innovation, improved operational efficiency and waste reduction.

At Crompton, we are dedicated to water conservation, because it is a scarce and an important natural resource. We are improving our water management methods in our operations and expanding our community outreach. Apart from that, we have implemented various steps to reduce our water consumption and have converted all of our units to the zero liquid discharge system.
At Crompton, we also go beyond the design process to assess the environmental impact of our goods over their entire life cycle. This involves everything from raw material selection to the end-of-life phase. We use a wide range of raw materials in the development of our products. We are always focusing on improving the efficiency of our material use, eco-friendly packaging and waste recycling.
Also, our increased material efficiency, has resulted in less industrial waste, less raw material use, waste segregation and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
We make substantial efforts to manage and limit the use of hazardous substances and we believe that resource optimisation improves the environment, decreases the cost of our products and increases consumer acceptability. We ensure that all hazardous waste generated at units is transferred to a State Pollution Control Board-approved operator. E-waste is disposed of by a licenced recycler who has been approved by the CPCB and has received green certificates.
We are committed to upholding Extended Producer Responsibility (“EPR”) principles with a responsible approach towards environmental stewardship and sustainable waste management practices. EPR focuses on shifting responsibility to producers and considering incentives while designing products.
We have obtained EPR Authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board (“CPCB”) for plastic waste and e-waste management. We have also successfully achieved CPCB targets for plastic waste collection and channelization, as well as for electrical and electronic equipment recycling.
