Resource Intensity is about doing far more with far less resources – energy, water and material.
It has been four years since our first Sustainability Report was published, where we had made a public commitment to reduce our ecological footprint. While we continue to grow, we have diligently reduced our per capita electricity and fresh water consumption. Our performance against our stated goals since 2007-08 is as follows:
|
Per capita electricity consumption

India operations |
20% |
