Sterlite Technologies Ltd. (STL) said it has already achieved part of its sustainability goals for 2030.

“We have already achieved 100% Zero Waste-to-Landfill certification for our manufacturing units, demonstrating our strong commitment to sustainability,” said Akanksha Sharma, Global Head ESG & Digital Sustainability Practise, STL.

“We have made progress in water positivity, with our Indian units being zero liquid discharge certified. Collaborating with the World Bank in water-deficit regions like Aurangabad, we aim to enhance water security and promote sustainability in villages,” she said.

The company’s 2030 sustainable goals include achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, 100% Zero Waste to Landfill certification for its manufacturing facilities, becoming water-positive, implementing sustainable sourcing, and conducting life cycle assessments for all its products.

STL announced in March that it had adopted the Science-based Targets initiative (SBTi) for more transparent and detailed carbon monitoring, control, and disclosure.

To achieve its net-zero vision, the company has focused on reducing energy consumption and transitioning to green energy sources.

Through efforts across its value chain, it has already avoided 15,000 tons of CO2 equivalent in carbon emissions, Ms Sharma said.
