At CSCI, we strive to be a knowledge leader and a sustainable organization, committed to reducing our environmental footprint. We recognize that our operations impact the planet, and we view it as both a responsibility and a moral obligation to minimize this impact. Environmental consciousness is embedded in every aspect of our work, from product development to daily operations.

We are dedicated to accountability and making significant progress towards our sustainability goals. Our efforts focus on enhancing the environmental performance of our processes and reducing the carbon footprint of our products. We achieve this by implementing sustainable business practices and supporting sustainability initiatives across our entire value chain.

Our production processes are designed to be environmentally friendly, incorporating Environment Impact Assessments (EIA) for new projects. These assessments help us develop mitigation plans to address potential environmental impacts. By selecting the right technology at the design stage, we ensure minimal impact on the environment and surrounding communities.

For existing projects, we have established Environmental Management Systems (EMS). Compliance with these systems is regularly assessed through Monthly Environment Evaluations, ensuring continuous improvement and adherence to our environmental standards. We conducts trainings on EHS Management System amongst all employees from time to time. In addition, an annual audit is conducted at our plant location. Audit observation and recommendation are implemented without bias and on a priority basis.

We utilize water for various purposes such as heating, cooling, steam production, and washing in our product processing operations. Given the water-intensive nature of our processes, long-term water availability is a significant challenge we foresee. Our goal is to become self-sufficient in water consumption and mitigate associated risks by mapping various factors and considerations. Water conservation and management are of utmost importance to us. Our manufacturing location monitors water-related data daily and keeps a record of it. This approach helps us prioritize our objective of achieving water positivity in the future. Our major focus is on recycling water back into operations to reduce dependency on fresh water supply. Towards this objective, we are strategizing to achieve zero-liquid discharge (ZLD) for our Dahej Facility.

We have adopted the 4R approach of ‘Reduce, Reuse, and Recover and Recycle’ to minimize water wastage. The total water recycled during FY 2023-24 was 126,877.60 KL, compared to 115,526.15 KL in FY 2022-23. Our various measures, such as ZLD facilities, STP-treated water recycling, and RO permeate recycling, have helped in recycling 65.61% of the total water consumption.
