RISE FOR A MORE EQUAL WORLD 59 Water is one of the key balancers of ecosystems – natural, social, and financial, and any gap between demand and supply of water has major repercussions. Extreme weather events are making water scarcer. At Mahindra, we follow a holistic water conservation approach to balance the water requirement of operations and the community. This includes optimising consumption, recycling at scale, plus capturing and recapturing to rejuvenate the water sources.
