Describe the strategy adopted by your company to reduce usage of hazardous and toxic chemicals in your products and processes and the practices adopted to manage such wastes. [GRI 306-2, GRI 3-3] • The Company has a robust waste management process and aims to be Zero Waste to Landfill for all its sites by 2030. • The Company’s approach to waste management is that of a circular economy aimed at eliminating waste and the continual use of resources. In a circular economy, waste materials and energy become input for other processes or as regenerative resources for nature. • The Company is committed to responsible disposal as per all applicable norms, leading to better ecosystems. When the waste diversion rate for any company is 99% or more then it can be declared as “Zero Waste to Landfill”. • Landfill diversion can occur through recycling which can include glass, paper, metal, plastic, textile, or electronics (E-Waste), lead batteries etc. • Organic Waste can be diverted to biological treatment through which the waste is reused. Another method is the thermal treatment (incineration) with the generation of power. • Hazardous waste such as paint sludge, oily cotton waste can be diverted to coprocessing operation, which can be reused as a resource (fuel) for cement industries. It can be also recycled as raw material. • Food waste generated at manufacturing plants are moved to the biogas plant for biogas generation. All the non-hazardous waste, which is generated inside the plant like metal, non-metal parts are being recycled. • Implementing “Zero Waste to Landfill” program resulted in not only environmental benefit but also in business benefit. The Company started looking at all the Company’s waste as a valuable resource and started converting it into wealth. This is also called Waste Circular Economy in which the Company’s waste is used as a resource for someone.
