CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY - CONSERVATION |
As a corporation deeply connected with India’s soil, the Merino group stands firm by its value of Environment First through its conscious efforts. The 'Nirmal’ program propels Merino’s action on Sustainability and positive outcomes by creating long-term stakeholder value by achieving a balance between economic, environmental, and social performances. The sustainability initiatives are driven with an integrated, holistic and multi-dimensional transformation approach covering Energy, Air, Water, Soil, & Waste. It is this value that inspires Merino to not only adhere strictly to all prescribed environmental norms but go a step beyond compliances and bring about a positive change in the environment through ecological improvement. We strive for responsible competitiveness through our three-pronged approach that puts environmental sustainability factors at the heart of all our processes and decision making. MERINO: ENERGY MANAGEMENT - Merino always strives to reduce the ecological and carbon footprints by increasing its dependence on clean, renewable energy sources at its various manufacturing facilities. i.e., solar energy, biomass and biogas. The Group fulfils over 72% of its energy requirement through clean energy sources such as solar power and renewable sources like Biomass & process waste. MERINO: WATER MANAGEMENT - Merino follows the 5R approach for water management, i.e., Reduce, Recycle, Reuse, Replenish and Restore. By consciously bringing in technological improvement Merino has been able to save 63815 KL of water annually. Also, by adopting reservoirs and by installing ground water recharge systems across all its locations, Merino has been able to replenish & restore nearly 5,53,815 KL of water, thereby moving towards its twin goal of Zero Discharge and Double recharge. Merino GROUP & ENVIRONMENT - Merino Group, with its focus on building a healthy environment, has taken various initiatives to conserve natural resources. It is actively working towards reducing pressure on natural resources by adopting an effective pro-environment stance alongside adhering to eco-conservationist standards. Merino has undertaken the following environmentally friendly practices in its various manufacturing facilities.
To ensure that we are not affecting the fragile ozone layer, Chlorinated Fluorocarbon (CFC) refrigerants have been replaced by technologically advanced hydrofluorocarbons (e.g., R-410A) refrigerant in over 400 tons of refrigeration (TR) systems annually. This has helped to mitigate an equivalent amount of Ozon Depleting Gases (ODG) from the environment. |
