Visualisation of the future and taking bold commitments have been our core strength and the Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Limited has been leading the sustainability dialogue since over two decades, said Dalmia MD and CEO Mahendra Singhi during observation of the World Environment Day.
Singhi said, “On the day, we further commit ourselves to realise our vision to become five-times water positive by 2020 and carbon negative by 2040.”
The company is planning to build green energy projects of 40 MW, under fossil free electricity initiative. DBG is also a signatory to the WBCSD WASH at the workplace pledge which ensures that all our employees have access to high standards of safe water, sanitation and hygiene at the workplace, he added.
The climate group estimates that if 100 companies double their energy productivity by 2030, such as what Dalmia Bharat Cement has committed to do over 170 MMT of emissions could be avoided cumulatively, equivalent to taking 37 million cars off the road for a year.
