PRINCIPLE 6
We maintain a strong commitment towards reducing our energy footprint by focusing on various energy sources such as fossil fuels, alternate fuels, renewable energy, and Waste Heat Recovery Systems (WHRS). Water conservation is integral to our sustainable development strategy, with minimal water use for cooling, dust suppression, and human consumption. Furthermore, we focus on effective water stewardship through continuous monitoring of water consumption and management practices.
