The company has taken various initiatives to reduce the energy consumption by optimising and enhancing energy efficiency in operations. They have adopted rooftop solar and wind energy to increase renewable energy consumption.
| Initiative Undertaken | Details | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Solar energy adoption | Installed 1.6 MW Solar rooftop power plant and it is operational at SL02 & SL03 facilities | It generates 12.4 Lacs kWh units annually, contributing to 6% of total energy consumption |
| Wind energy adoption | At Maharashtra, 3 Windmills of total 3.75 MW capacity generated 51 Lakh kWh units. A 600 kW windmill in Gujarat produced 7 lakh kW of electricity. | Contributing to 29% of total energy consumption of Solapur plant. Contributes roughly 6% of the Panoli plant's overall energy usage. |
| The company's steam generator/accumulator system and thermopack both use bio-briquettes. | By using briquettes, the (SL02) Solapur Unit saved using 1177 MT of furnace oil annually and 8.3 lakhs SCM of natural gas annually. (Panoli 3.19 lakhs and Ank -5.11 lakhs). | With a projected annual carbon offset of almost 3,700 tons CO2e, this change benefited GRP's 2030 decarbonization target. |

For three of the five plants, zero liquid discharge was implemented. Wastewater is managed by their in-house sewage and effluent treatment systems and is either reused within the company or transferred to a nearby treatment facility. The company's current goal is to achieve 100% zero discharge.
| Initiative Undertaken | Detail | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Wastewater treatment | An effective water treatment plant with a Multiple Effect Evaporator has been installed by the business at the Ankleshwar factory. | This enabled them to recover 90% of the effluent through on-site treatment and reuse. |

GRP’s various products have a core promise of enhancing sustainability of natural resources. Lower C02 emissions, more recycling of end of life tyres and other rubbers results in a cleaner environment.
| Initiative Undertaken | Detail | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon footprint | The business has switched to green energy, replaced one traditional diesel forklift to electric Forklift. | This helped them to reduce around 4570 KgCO2 emission per annum |
| Bio-briquette fired Thermopacks and STGs | Bio-briquette fired Thermopacks and STGs represent a significant advancement in sustainable energy solutions, offering an eco-friendly alternative to conventional fossil fuel-based systems. | This transition resulted in a calculated annual carbon offset of ~3,700 tonnes CO2e/year, supporting GRP’s 2030 decarbonization roadmap. |
