Renewable Energy

We have committed to over 85% renewable energy use by 2030. To achieve the set goal, we are consistently increasing the use of RE for our operations. As on date, LTIMindtree has 1,093.5 kW capacity of solar panels installed within its facilities. In addition to this, various steps have been taken to procure renewable resources through various scheme like green tariff scheme, Energy Attribute Certificate (EAC) scheme and Physical PPA scheme. We have opted for green tariff for our facilities Hyderabad-Raheja & Skyview and purchased REC certificates for Bengaluru-East campus and Mumbai-Mahape.

Water Management

Conserving freshwater resources is a key facet of our sustainability mission. We have adopted the 3R principle – Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle – throughout our operations to minimize freshwater consumption. In most of our facilities, we utilize recycled water for purposes such as flushing, landscaping, and HVAC cooling towers, cutting down on the use of freshwater. In our owned properties, we have introduced rainwater harvesting systems and constructed recharge pits to bolster groundwater levels.

These efforts are supported by a constant focus on curbing water usage with the installation of water-saving fixtures and routine maintenance to prevent leaks. We continuously monitor and report our water usage to identify opportunities for further conservation.

Key Initiatives in FY25

Installation of Digital Water Meter

The installation of digital water meter at our facility in Warangal enables us to accurately maintain records of freshwater consumption, monitor water usage digitally, identify areas for water conservation, and detect leaks or flow issues. This initiative has significantly improved our ability to manage water resources sustainably.

Installation of Water Aerators

We replaced existing aerators with efficient aerators in health faucets at our Bengaluru Gopalan facility to reduce freshwater consumption. The new aerators are designed to reduce the water flow rate from 6 liters per minute (LPM) to 3 LPM, effectively halving the water usage without compromising on functionality. This enables us to save 5,250 KL of water per annum and save INR 315,000 per annum.

 

In our Kolkata -DLF2 facility, water flow at taps were reduced from 5.4 LPM to 1.2 LPM which helped us save 2043.36 KL of water and INR 122,601 per annum.

In Mumbai-Mensa facility, the flow rate of the taps was reduced from 3 LPM to 2 LPM, saving 450 KL of water and INR 27,000 per annum.

In Noida facility, the flow rate of taps was reduced from 5 LPM to 1.5 LPM, thus saving 1,129 KL of water and INR 67,740 per annum.

In Pune Embassy facility, the flow rate of taps was reduced from 2 LPM to 1.5 LPM, which helped us to save 453 KL of water and INR 27,180 per annum.

Installation of Waterless Urinal

We have replaced conventional urinals with waterless urinals at our facilities, reducing water wastage and thus reducing the overall environmental footprint of restrooms. Apart from saving water, waterless urinals also improve the overall hygiene of the restrooms. In Kolkata, this initiative helped us to save 185 KL per annum and in Mumbai-Mensa facility, the step has helped save 864 KL per annum.

Waste Management

Our waste management strategy is anchored to three key principles: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. We are committed to achieving our ambitious goal of achieving ‘zero waste to landfill by 2030’ through a combination of proactive waste minimization efforts, strategic technology investments in recycling techniques, and optimizing our systems and processes. We have initiated Zero Waste to Landfill audit, which has been completed for all our Bengaluru and Mumbai facilities, where we have achieved a recycling percentage of 99.33%.

Key Initiatives in FY25

PadCare System to Recycle Sanitary Waste

During the year, we upgraded the sanitary waste management process pan India and installed PadCare, which employs a patented 5D technology (Deactivation, Decolorization, Deodorization, Disinfection, and Disintegration) to recycle sanitary waste. The waste is processed and segregated to cellulose and paper and the materials are then converted into useful products like granules and paper. The method ensures 100% recycling of sanitary pads, thus significantly reducing waste to landfills and incineration without energy recovery. The sustainability benefits include a 58% reduction in carbon emissions compared to landfilling, and a 68% reduction compared to incineration.

Health & Safety

Key Initiatives in FY25

Emergency Pull Chords for PWD Restrooms

To enhance safety and accessibility for persons with disabilities (PWD), we have installed a special toilet alarm system in our facilities. The system includes a ceiling pull cord, which triggers an audible and visual signal outside the restroom, alerting safety teams of the need for assistance. The ceiling pull cord is positioned for easy access from the WC or bath and so is the cancel button. The system ensures that help can be quickly dispatched, providing reassurance to users.

Installation of PUF Roofing

The temperature in the cafeteria in our Bengaluru- Global City facility sometimes exceeds 45°C during summer. We have installed PUF (Polyurethane Foam) roofing sheets, which consist of a layer of polyurethane foam sandwiched between two metal layers and provide excellent insulation. The PUF panels effectively reduce the internal temperature by 10-15°C while improving energy efficiency and offering all-time weatherproofing. They are environmentally friendly, easy to install, and low maintenance.

Installation of Fire Suppression System

We upgraded fire safety for our electrical panels at our Hyderabad-Raheja facility by replacing traditional floor-mounted fire extinguishers with an aerosol fire suppression system. Installed within the panel, the system comes equipped with detection control and capability to instantly extinguish a fire without human intervention. This system is also non-toxic and non-oxygen depleting, with zero global warming and ozone depletion potential.

First Aid Center & Pan India Ambulance Services

To provide immediate medical assistance to employees and improve our emergency response, we have established first aid centers and ambulance services pan India. Our First Aid centers have essential medical supplies and trained professionals, ensuring prompt treatment for minor injuries and health issues. Ambulance services ensure rapid transportation to medical facilities in case of severe injuries or emergencies, reducing response time and saving lives.

Usage of Green Chemicals across India

By utilizing environmentally friendly chemicals across our operations, we aim to minimize our ecological footprint and promote a healthier environment. Green chemicals are designed to reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances, ensuring safer working conditions and compliance.

Green Buildings

To reduce our environmental impact, we have elevated the standards of our buildings by transforming them into green buildings. The aim is to conserve resources and also enhance employee health and well-being. Our greener buildings help protect and enhance the local ecosystem and biodiversity. We are committed to ensuring that all our facilities achieve green building certification in a phased manner.
