Environmental Targets and Performance
Our FY 2011 environmental performance against targets is given below:
18 19
Environmental Performance Objective Target Achieved
Reduce Electricity Consumption (kWh/FTE/month) 2% 7.75%
Reduce Water Consumption (liters/FTE/month) 2% 11.85%
Reduce Paper Consumption (Reams/1000 FTE/month) 10% 17.40%
20
Increase Recycling of Sewage water (as % of total water consumed) 10% 8.36%
Increase solar water capacity (litres/day) 10% 99%
21
Reduce waste generated (Kg/FTE/annum) 5% -35.61%
Amount of compost generated (Kg/month) 10% 57.81%
Reduce Carbon footprint (tonnes CO2/FTE/annum) 5% 6.77%
Increase Rainwater Harvesting Potential (Cum) 10% 10.43%
*FTE = Full Time Equivalent
Going forward, we are doing away with year on year targets in key areas and setting ambitious
longer-term targets against which we will report annual progress. Given below is a summary of
our environmental targets for the future:
Environmental Parameter Target Timeline
Electricity 5% YoY reduction in per capita
electricity consumption FY 2012
Scope 2 Carbon Emissions 8% reduction in per capita
Scope 2 emissions over baseline FY 2011 FY 2015
50% reduction in per capita Scope
2 emissions over baseline year 2007-08 FY 2020
Freshwater consumption 12% reduction per capita over FY 2011
and 20% over baseline FY 2008 FY 2015
Rainwater harvesting Zero groundwater depletion FY 2015
(i.e. become groundwater neutral)
by replenishing water drawn from
borewells through rainwater harvesting
Paper consumption 10% YoY reduction in per capita paper
consumption FY 2012
Wastewater management 100% zero-discharge facilities FY 2015
Solid waste management To ensure that less than 5% of solid waste
generated goes into landfill FY 2015
18 Reductions / Increases over FY 2010 numbers
19 Number in red signifies missing the target
20 Attributed, amongst other reasons, to a Sewage Treatment Plant at one of the larger locations being non-operational for a significant period.
21 The increase in per capita waste generation is due to improved measuring, tracking and reporting practices and not necessarily due to
more wastes generated.
