MAHINDRA & MAHINDRA LTD. | Integrated Annual Report 2021-22

CONSERVATION OF ENERGY Energy conservation helps Mahindra gain more control over the energy costs, reduces the demand for the earth's natural resources, and contributes to our effort to reach the carbon neutrality target. We follow a holistic approach to consistently enhance energy productivity. Enhancing Energy Productivity Mahindra recognises that we cannot manage what we can't measure. Therefore, we continue to monitor Energy Productivity (EP) by coming up with energy efficiency initiatives. We record Energy Productivity data separately for AS (Auto Sector) as well as FES (Farm Equipment Sector). Following is the EP data trend w.r.t. baseline year (2008-09). AS FES 70% 60% 55% 59% 45% 61% F20 F21 F22 F20 F21 F22 WATER CONSERVATION Water conservation is important to combat business risks as well as societal risks. Even a slight imbalance between the demand and supply of water can disturb the environment, social and financial ecosystems. Mahindra maintains the crucial balance for operations as well as for the community that uses it for various purposes. Key Water Conservation Measures Ÿ At Auto Division - Chakan, infrastruc- ture is created wherein a softener and filtration system is installed to reuse the harvested rainwater for processes in the paint shop. Ÿ In Farm Division Nagpur plant, infrastructure is created to recycle the treated ETP water for toilet flushing in washrooms. 44% water recycled and reused in F22. Total groundwater recharge at M&M Ltd. increased from 7,91,249 KL in F21 to 8,53,971KL in F22. Waste reduction leads to multiple benefits. It reduces GHG emissions that contribute to climate change, saves the amount of waste that needs to be recycled, incinerated, or sent to landfills, cuts down energy costs, and the requirement of natural resources for making new products. REDUCTION OF WASTE GENERATED We follow a holistic water conservation approach. This includes optimising consumption, recycling as much water as possible, and capturing and recapturing to rejuvenate the water sources. 34 COMPANY OVERVIEW REIGNITED VALUE CREATION OUTPERFORM FINANCIALLY FUTURE-READY ESG LEADERSHIP GLOBALLY INPUT-OUTPUT MODEL CORPORATE INFORMATION STATUTORY REPORTS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
