Water Stewardship
Practicing water neutral operations and empowering communities
We are prioritizing water neutrality in our operations and water stewardship in our value chain. All our manufacturing facilities practice Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD). We are monitoring water stress in the areas adjacent to the manufacturing facilities and investing in water efficient systems in operations. We practice rainwater harvesting and rainwater usage for process cooling purposes and deploying zero liquid discharge (ZLD) principles to reduce freshwater consumption in our manufacturing units. We are taking actions to offset our water consumption by creating water storage capacity for communities. Our ‘Jalashay’ program facilitates dam desiltation, rejuvenation of water bodies, and construction of farm ponds.
The key business imperatives under this area include:
Water neutral manufacturing units
Product water intensity
Replenishment of water consumed in operations through rain-water conservation potential creation
Fresh water (Ground water & third-party water) withdrawal intensity
KRAs
Water Neutral Operations through Rainwater Harvesting & Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD)
Create water capacity for communities equivalent to XX times of Marico’s water consumption in operations
