How Adani Group is helping the society?

 Environment:

Mundra, once a coastal hamlet in the state of Gujarat in India is where the Adani Group’s journey of growth with goodness started Footprints of this change are widely visible as the sleepy town has become a bustling industrial hub housing India’s largest port, power plants, solar manufacturing facility, edible oil refinery and a plethora of ancillary industries.

While the transformation is remarkable in itself what makes, Mundra, a rare case study where infrastructural transformation coexists with the region’s rich biodiversity. From multi-fold augmentation in mangrove cover to turning a highly saline and arid land green through tech-led horticulture techniques, the Adani Group’s vision of building sustainable value creations are not just propelling India’s economic development but catering to the nation’s climate goals.

Water management:

Water management has been one of the most strategic conservation measures across businesses at the Adani Group. Emphasis is made to ensure that dependence on freshwater sources is minimal, which in mutual interest of business operations, communities and the environment.

Safety:

In the upliftment of people lies the growth of the country and in their happiness, thrives our impetus to do good. The Adani Group has established an Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) Policy and a Safety Manual that incorporates the legal and operational discipline to ensure that concerns of health and safety steer clear of our journey towards realising dreams.

There is a Corporate Safety Group under every CEO's guidance, monitoring safety at all sites. In a nutshell, all possible safety precautions are being observed and taken into consideration to meet the global standards in safety management systems. Our sites go beyond statutory requirements to achieve continual improvement year after year. This effort has been recognised in the form of awards and accolades from many organisations and safety forums.

Waste management:

Zero Waste is our ultimate group-wide goal. We ensure that food and organic waste across business sites is converted into compost which is then used as a natural fertilizer in gardening and farming. In fact, our ports have cut down hazardous wastes to zilch. Across our coal-based power plants, systems and infrastructure are in place so that the fly ash generated is reused by cement manufacturing units and available free of cost for construction of roads, buildings and other infrastructure in the local areas.

operational efficiency:

Tech-led innovations have not just propelled operational efficiency but played a vital role in improving carbon footprints. We introduced super-critical technology at the Mundra thermal power plant, which won the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Project’ certification from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

Similarly, we pioneered using surface mining technology clubbed with water sprinkling which helped in regulating dust pollution. Likewise RTG cranes at our ports were converted from diesel to electricity. Using power to operate running tugs also contributed in reducing our carbon footprints. Currently, 2% of captive power requirement is catered by renewables, a ratio expected to improve significantly in the future.

Communities:

they believe in a growth narrative that contributes to the social welfare of the communities in which we live and work. The Adani Group invests about 2% of its total profit in various CSR initiatives through Adani Foundation. By responding to the emerging needs at grassroots level, its teams are focused on aligning all activities with the global Sustainable Development Goals, striving to secure a hopeful future for millions.
