Climate change
Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges and is expected to have a detrimental impact on food security and agriculture. We have identified this as an important factor forming part of our Risk Management Framework. With climate change there is increasing pest and
disease pressures and our Research and Development (R&D) team is working to develop appropriate solutions. To reduce the impact of our operations on climate change, we have set an ambitious target of achieving 30% absolute reduction in carbon emissions by 2030.
Circular economy
We are on the path of instituting the
circular economy principles by focussing on reducing water usage and recycling it, minimising waste generation and
converting waste into useful products. There is continuous evaluation to reduce and reuse packaging items with an
emphasis on bulk packaging. We also
maximise the usage of renewable energy sources such as biomass for fuel and rooftop solar for power generation.
Water stress
Water is a critical input not only for plant operations, but is also used in our agricultural activities of seed production and research. Our manufacturing
operations are working towards zero
liquid discharge by reusing and optimising water usage. Jal Dhan is one of our key initiatives under the larger CSR programme and remains focussed on rainwater harvesting, recharging groundwater and soil conservation. Our research activities are focussed on developing drought-tolerant and shorter duration seed varieties in relevant crops to address water stress in agriculture.
Digitalisation
In the post pandemic world, Digital
Technologies are bringing in
transformative changes in the industry. Our digital strategy is focussed on
increasing efficiency, reducing costs,
building customer loyalty, simplifying
connect with stakeholders and mitigating climate change risk. One of our key
initiatives is Drishti, which harnesses Remote Sensing & Artificial Intelligence to provide pest and weather forecast. Drishti helps the Company to improve its resilience towards climate change. Various social media and e-commerce platforms are being leveraged to serve the customers more effectively. We have identified Cyber security as one of the key risks and the required technology, systems and processes are put in place to ensure a fully secured digital environment.
