We harvest rainwater, maintain clean water sources, provide hand sanitizers campus-wide, and ensure hygienic washroom facilities at all our locations.

We're installing solar power plants at all locations to make our energy consumption self-reliant. Our warehouses use partly transparent roof sheets to reduce electrical consumption with natural light.
Sustainable Cities & Communities
We promote sustainable living with guest houses and staff quarters at all locations, designed using a sustainable approach. This helps minimize resource waste and reduce our carbon footprint.

We're IGBC Accredited with solar power, rainwater harvesting, and groundwater recharge. We regulate garbage disposal, avoid refrigeration to reduce GHG emissions, and use LED lighting. Our green procurement policy guides all purchases, and we've planted 35,000+ trees to control greenhouse gas emissions.
Economic Growth
We play a crucial role in supporting the largest contributor to the country's GDP—Agricultural Output.
