Promoting sustainable supply chain

We are dedicated to developing cleaner and greener supply chains.

Adapting to policy transitions and climate change risks

Our strategy involves managing policy changes and climate transition risks to enhance business resilience.

Driving decarbonisation

We are committed to achieving carbon neutrality by promoting low-carbon operations and transitioning to renewable energy sources.

Decreasing environmental footprint

Efforts to reduce our environmental footprint include water conservation, practising circular economy principles, and minimising impacts on natural capital.

Environmental goals

We are dedicated to minimising our environmental impact through the careful management of natural resources. Our environmental practices focus on improving existing processes and systems while implementing more efficient methods for new operations. In line with our organisation's objectives and targets, we are developing a comprehensive strategy to fulfil our environmental commitment.

Focus area for Environment

Water conservation and reuse

Uno Minda’s water management strategy emphasizes meticulous collection and innovative utilisation methods to optimise available and sourced water. We implement several conservation initiatives in our plants, including reusing treated water to minimise wastewater, utilising treated water for flushing and gardening, installing aerators to reduce water usage, installation of rainwater harvesting structures for replenishing groundwater sources and introduction of waterless urinals as a pilot project to further decrease daily water consumption.

We are committed to reducing water consumption across all our plants and continuously improving our efficiencies implementing several conservation measures at our manufacturing

Uno Minda has implemented other conservation initiatives such as a BIN washing machine, cooling tower fin replacement, float valve setting, a float arrangement and installing water sensor taps on all hand washing and drinking` water taps. At Uno Minda, 100% of the discharged water is treated.

Reduction, reuse and recycling of waste

At Uno Minda, our vision for waste management revolves around minimizing environmental impact by adhering to the 3R principle: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. We are committed to reducing waste generation, reusing materials wherever possible, and recycling efficiently to promote sustainability.

To achieve this, we implement robust waste management initiatives across all operations. Hazardous waste is meticulously handled and disposed of through government-approved vendors, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and safe disposal practices. Non-hazardous waste, on the other hand, is sent to certified recyclers to maximize resource recovery and minimize landfill impact.

Carbon footprint reduction and transition to renewable energy

Uno Minda has adopted the use of renewable energy resources, reducing reliance on non-renewable energy sources over consecutive financial years. We have achieved a notable reduction in energy consumption from nonrenewable sources relative to sales. Concurrently, our use of renewable electricity has increased from FY 2021-22, now (FY 2023-24) accounting for 18% of our total electricity consumption for business and related activities. 

We have developed robust methods to optimize our energy portfolio and incorporate multiple sources of clean energy. This transition from non-renewable to renewable energy sources is guided by a detailed plan aimed at achieving carbon neutrality. By improving energy management systems and adopting efficient technologies, we are actively working to mitigate emissions.

Key resources such as biodiesel and electricity wheeled from renewable energy plants are instrumental in helping the Group reduce its carbon footprint.
