Overview
Through The Amara Raja Way®, the Company strengthened its commitment to people's safety and environmental protection. The management believes that an incident-free workplace boosts employee morale and confidence in the corporation. The resultant peace of mind pushes every team member to strive harder towards uplifting the organization to the next growth orbit. The Company's protection cover extends to the workplace and beyond - striving for a cleaner workplace and a green environment - leading to a healthy mind and body.
As a part of its commitment towards ecological sustainability, the Company is closely associated with multiple environmental protection programs within its business ecosystem and in the civic and social sectors beyond its operational boundaries.
The four pillars of Amara Raja's ecological sustainability program are:
Ecological sustainability is a cornerstone of the company's charter on natural capital stewardship. The storage battery industry is built on the pillars of energy efficiency, greenhouse gases mitigation, responsible water management, pollution control and waste management. At Amara Raja, we use different tools to look for the reduction in natural resource usage. During this year, the company initiated the inventorization of greenhouse gas emissions and targeted its reduction. The Company follows good manufacturing practices in waste management.
To enhance green cover, the Company planted trees that survive in tropical, dry and shale-type soil by following necessary soil, and micro-irrigation management techniques and using treated effluents fit for gardening.

We ensure the workplace air quality and ventilation systems are periodically checked to provide a safe working place
Women's Health is given paramount importance. We periodically conduct awareness and screening programs such as cervical and breast cancer awareness across all plant locations.
The Company installed additional roof solar systems during the year taking the total generating capacity of 6.30 MW thereby reducing the dependence on fossil fuels.
We conduct regular inspections of the cafeteria by internal teams at periodic intervals to ensure a high level of hygiene is maintained
The Company has aligned its business operations and manufacturing process to the globally accepted guidelines of the ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 framework for more than two decades now. All the manufacturing locations are certified to ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018 and ISO 50001: 2018 standards.
Through sustainability reporting, we communicate our performance and impacts on a wide range of sustainability topics, spanning environmental, social and governance parameters. It enables us to be more transparent about the risks and opportunities we face, giving stakeholders greater insight into performance beyond the bottom line.
Building and maintaining trust in businesses and governments is fundamental to creating a sustainable global economy and a thriving world. Every day, decisions are made by businesses and governments that have direct impacts on their stakeholders, such as decisions relating to financial institutions, labor organizations, civil society, citizens and the level of trust they have in them. These decisions are rarely based on financial information alone and often consider risks and opportunities related to a variety of short and long-term factors. Sustainability topics are increasingly integrated into these decision-making processes.
