NEW DELHI: In an era where corporate responsibility extends beyond profit margins to encompass the health of our planet, Bisleri International Pvt. Ltd. stands out with its ambitious initiatives under ‘Bisleri’s Greener Promise’.
The partnership with Schneider Electric’s Sustainability Business is a significant stride towards enhancing energy efficiency and advancing the usage of renewable energy across the company’s operations. By integrating innovative energy solutions, Bisleri International is not only acting in its self-interest but also contributing to global environmental sustainability.
At the heart of this collaboration lies the installation of up to 13.6 megawatts (MW) of solar power across six major manufacturing plants situated in the states of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Uttar Pradesh.
The proactive measure is set to elevate the company’s renewable energy usage to nearly 33 per cent, while concurrently improving energy efficiency by approximately 2.5 per cent across its facilities.
Such advancements are expected to lead to a substantial reduction in carbon emissions, estimated to be around 16,000 tonnes annually, thereby reinforcing Bisleri’s commitment to its sustainability goals.
Achieving corporate sustainability
Angelo George, the CEO of Bisleri International, emphasised the significance of this collaboration, stating that it not only aligns with the company’s dedication to sustainable solutions but also highlights the economic benefits associated with renewable energy adoption.
The sentiment is echoed by Deepak Sharma, Zone President and MD & CEO of Schneider Electric India, who reiterated the importance of partnerships in achieving corporate sustainability. The notion of becoming a “Green Yodha for the planet” underscores the responsibility that corporations have in mitigating their environmental footprints through cleaner and smarter energy solutions.
As part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability, Bisleri has already implemented rooftop solar panels that contribute 2.5 per cent of its energy from renewable sources. Additionally, the company’s efforts in the lightweighting of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles have resulted in a significant reduction of its CO2 footprint by an impressive 15,000 tonnes per year. These initiatives reflect a comprehensive approach to sustainability that spans various dimensions of Bisleri’s operations, from energy utilisation to resource conservation.
