MAHINDRA & MAHINDRA LTD. Integrated Annual Report 2023-24 268 5. Has the entity implemented a mechanism for Zero Liquid Discharge? If yes, details of its coverage and implementation. [GRI 303-1, GRI 303-2] • Yes, Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) is one of the main focus areas among all environment related initiatives. No water goes out from the Company’s site boundary untreated, except rainwater which passes through dedicated storm water drains. Water is recovered and recycled in the manufacturing process, leaving behind only solid residues that are managed and disposed of safely, thus fulfilling all the process requirements needed for ZLD certification. All the manufacturing plants of the Company are ZLD certified, except one. • Most of the plants have recharging pits for injecting rainwater to deep aquifers. • Though the Company relies more heavily on freshwater, recycled water is, and will continue to be, important for the Company to secure enough water to manufacture vehicles and parts. The Company recycled 39% of fresh water through wastewater recycling plants. • Domestic wastewater is recycled through STP (Sewage Treatment Plant) and process wastewater through ETP (Effluent Treatment Plant). Each STP and ETP has got 3 levels of treatment i.e. Primary, Secondary and Tertiary, followed by advance treatment procedures like Reverse Osmosis (RO). • Treated water is recycled for processing and cooling requirements. 6.
