We prioritise efficient energy management to control costs and reduce our carbon footprint, aiming to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2050. This commitment includes increasing renewable energy usage, conserving water, minimising waste, and adopting energy-efficient technologies. Water stewardship is integral to our operations, with Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) implemented across all our plants to safeguard local resources.
We rigorously monitor and report carbon emissions from all operations, focusing on reducing direct CO2 emissions. Our waste management strategy emphasises responsible segregation and co-processing of hazardous and non-hazardous waste to minimise environmental impact. Through innovative co-processing technology, we achieve a 'Zero Landfill' solution, recovering energy and minerals from waste while mitigating additional emissions. Geoclean enhances our waste management practices, supporting sustainable development goals and raising stakeholder awareness.

# For 2022-23, plastic packing bags in ‘plastic waste’ and flyash generation in ‘other non-hazardous waste’ category have been updated which was not considered previous year.
Hazardous and non-hazardous Waste generated at all locations is collected and segregated separately as per its characteristics in line with Waste Management Rules for specific wastes. Plastic waste is mainly disposed through co-processing by the Company and a very small quantity through authorised scrap dealers. Bio-medical waste is disposed through incineration of bio-medical waste at authorised Common Biomedical Waste Treatment Facilities. E-waste and battery waste is recycled through authorised recyclers. Hazardous waste is mainly coprocessed in cement kiln and the quantity which cannot be co-processed is sent to common incinerator
The cement manufacturing process does not generate much hazardous wastes. It mainly consists of waste lubricating oils which are co-processed in cement kilns.
Through the co-processing technology, the Company provides a ‘Zero Landfill’ solution that doesn’t create any additional emission and in addition avoids soil contamination, water and air pollution coming from landfill sites, recovering energy and minerals from the waste materials.
Geoclean helps ACL contribute to safe waste management solutions in industries and municipalities and increase the utilisation of alternative fuels in cement kilns. The Company has been building up stakeholders’ awareness on these issues through its advocacy in appropriate forums
