ESG Planet Positivity - A global perspective
Here on Earth, we're all connected. A thriving planet is the foundation for a prosperous society. Protecting the planet isn't just a responsibility but a fundamental necessity for our collective well-being. In an era where environmental consciousness is paramount, the “Planet Positive” initiative by Mahindra Susten stands as a beacon of hope.
It isn’t only about powering the world with sustainable green energy solutions but also about making this planet a better place for all.Together, we can create a planet that blossoms—a place where ecological balance and human progress coexist. Here's how we're taking action:
Turning water positivity into reality
Water, the elixir of life, holds
paramount importance in our industry. In an industry where water is
essential for solar module cleaning, we’ve made it our priority to
conserve this precious resource. Through thoughtful decisions, we
currently save 67 million litres annually. Our portfolio proudly
boasts a 100% water-positive certification, validated by TUV Nord. By
optimising water usage, we contribute to a healthier planet.
Preserving biodiversity and increasing green cover
Being a trusted renewable energy solutions company,
Susten understands the importance of biodiversity. To preserve the
natural ecosystems around our projects, we actively map the local flora and
fauna. Our operational sites are not just about energy
production; they’re also havens for biodiversity. We’ve planted
over 98,000 trees, creating lush green spaces that support local
ecosystems. These trees absorb carbon dioxide, enhance air quality, and provide
habitats for countless species.
Waste management: Upcycling for a circular economy
Waste isn’t a
burden; it’s an opportunity. Sustainable waste management is another
pillar of our 'Planet Positive' initiative. Through robust
mechanisms and a commitment to the principles of a circular
economy, we're diverting landfill-bound waste and promoting recycling
on a massive scale.
To date, we've refurbished
over 4,000 modules and upcycled more than 25 tons of
scrap, further reducing our environmental footprint and contributing
to a cleaner, greener future.
Transition towards net zero - Reducing our GHG footprints
But perhaps our most ambitious
goal yet is our transition towards Net Zero emissions. With energy saving
initiatives yielding a 20-30% year-on-year reduction in greenhouse gas
emissions, we’re making significant strides towards this target. Aligned with
our group’s commitment to reach Net Zero by 2040, we’re not just reducing our
carbon footprint, we’re setting a precedent for sustainable business practices
in the renewable power solutions
sector.
Conclusion
The “Planet
Positive” initiative isn’t just a corporate endeavour; it’s a
shared mission. It's about recognizing our responsibility to protect
the environment, not just for ourselves, but for future generations.
We believe that a thriving planet is the foundation for a thriving future.
That’s why we’re not just in the business of renewable power solutions, we’re in the business of building a
sustainable tomorrow.
