SUSTAINABILITY IS WOVEN INTO EVERY STEP OF OUR PROCESS
Environment
Welspun is making sustained efforts through positive action to restore ecological balance in the domains of Air, Water and Land. “Restoring Ecosystems” is the goal of all ESG efforts of the Welspun team. The theme aligns with the Groups' philosophy of inclusive growth. Through this campaign we are focused on bringing a positive Change in the state of the environment across the three elements – Air, Water & Land. As a global leader in home textiles with a large customer footprint, aligning with the best global practices to deliver beyond regulatory compliance is a cornerstone of our ESG efforts.
Air
Clean Air for All is a very strategic goal and Welspun accords high importance to taking steps in mitigating air pollution including impacts due to climate change. Climate change: Over the years, Welspun India has worked tirelessly to reduce its energy & carbon footprint through dedicated efforts towards energy efficiency, cleaner fuels and replacement of virgin raw materials with recycled raw materials. With a definitive plan of reducing its environmental footprint, Welspun is looking at renewable energy sources & plans to reach an energy mix having 20% from RE sources by 2025 & 100% from RE and becoming Carbon Neutral by 2030.
Water
Water is a precious and scarce resource and its limited availability is one of the key challenges of today's industry.
Welspun has implemented a unique project in the area of water management at Anjar through the establishment of a 30 MLD Sewage treatment plant to meet its water requirement. The project helps recycle nearly 7 billion litres of sewage water annually.
Rainwater harvesting: At Anjar, the company has established a large Rainwater Harvesting pond enabling freshwater availability for the company as well as the neighbouring communities. The project has also helped in reviving the biodiversity of the region by attracting the migratory bird species in the area.
Land
As a fast-growing home textiles major, the company emphasises on achieving high product quality while creating a positive environmental & social impact. With a view to replace conventional raw materials with Organic & Sustainable raw materials, Welspun India is consistently increasing its sourcing of BCI (Better Cotton Initiative) & Organic Cotton. The company aims to achieve 100% sustainable cotton including organic, BCI by 2030. A major program is underway through training of over 14,000 farmers on Good Agricultural Practices that reinforces the sustainable cotton program of Welspun.
The company is also preventing land pollution by reducing the waste being sent to landfill by adopting circularity - conversion of waste fabric to cotton fibre which can be repurposed back in the process. We are also focussed on replacing the use of virgin polyester used in manufacturing with recycled polyester made from post-consumer PET bottles preventing them from reaching landfills.
