BUSINESSES SHOULD RESPECT AND MAKE EFFORTS TO PROTECT AND RESTORE THE ENVIRONMENT

We view climate action as a business imperative and a moral responsibility. Recognizing the far-reaching impacts of climate change, we are accelerating our transition toward a net-zero future. We are decarbonizing our operations through renewable energy, improving energy efficiency, and reducing carbon emissions by reimagining our materials and supply chains. Our efforts on water conservation and waste recycling are note worthy and our journey towards sustainable development is resolute.

The Company adheres to the principles of sustainable consumption of resources while reducing waste generation and complying with the tenets of circular economy. The Company minimises waste disposal through maximising recycling and reusing efforts. The Company also ensures proper disposal of E-waste, biomedical waste, scrap, etc. through authorised recyclers registered with the regulatory agencies.

Our waste management initiatives include:

  • Plastic waste is mainly disposed of through co-processing, with a minimal amount of burst bags disposed of through authorised scrap dealers.
  • Biomedical waste is incinerated at authorised Common Biomedical Waste Treatment Facilities.
  • E-waste is recycled through authorised recyclers.
  • Hazardous waste (used oil, discarded drums) is either reused in plants or co-processed in cement kilns, with non-co-processable quantities sent to a common authorised facility for recycling.
  • Scraps are sold to authorised vendors for recycling.
  • Mining overburden is repurposed for backfilling within the mines.

Geoclean helps ACC 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..
