One of the ways to optimise the use of resources is by interconnecting machines. #HCCB’s newer factories are being built that way. However, connecting machines at the legacy factories is a challenging but richly rewarding exercise. 
In legacy factories, most processes are automated but not necessarily connected on a real-time basis. In newer factories like the one in #Sanand, #Gujarat,
end-to-end digital connectivity ensures that machines analyse data from different interfaces on a real-time basis across 5,000 different information sites. This interconnection ensures seamless communication between people, processes, and machines.
#Frugal engineering and value #innovation are serving as a source of #sustainable competitive advantage for our Khordha factory in #Odisha. The electrical team at the factory has developed an in-house centralized information system from scratch.
This system generally requires huge investments and complex third-party surveys to administer.
The Khordha factory sees a demand of 5.8 MW of power at any given point in time. Spread over an area of 37 acres means that the factory has nearly 600 touchpoints capturing the energy
The Khordha factory sees a demand of 5.8 MW of power at any given point in time. Spread over an area of 37 acres means that the factory has nearly 600 touchpoints capturing the energy
readings for different parts of the factory. The maintenance team would traditionally walk the length and breadth of the premises to track the amount of energy being used by different units of the factory.
Power interruptions are more than a minor inconvenience in #factories. It takes conventional generators some time to power up when a blackout occurs. This short but critical ‘change-over-time’ impacts the production process and efficiency.
#HCCB turned #waterpositive, half a decade ago. Simply stated, ‘water positive’ means that HCCB returns more water to the aquifer than it uses in its operations. While a large part of HCCB’s #sustainability efforts is focused on ensuring water positivity,
we also work towards lowering the Water Usage Ration (WUR) in our daily operations. WUR indicates the total quantity of water used to produce one liter of #beverage. With this view, our factory in #Khorda #Odisha introduced a new Ultra Filtration,
Reverse Osmosis (UFRO) system in the Effluent Treatment Plant, wherein the wastewater is treated with the UFRO technology to an extent that it is recycled for multiple purposes such as cleaning, washing during the manufacturing process, and a lot more.
As a responsible user of #water, HCCB’s approach to #waterstewardship incorporates a multitude of initiatives such as the construction of check dams, desilting, and restoration of ponds and natural water bodies, rainwater harvesting,
and building bunds and conservation tanks and so much more. These initiatives help us maintain water positivity which means that we return more water to the aquifer than we use in our operations. An example of this can be seen in #Gujarat,
where our water recharge shafts enabled us to replenish 100% of the water that we consumed in 2021. Going a step further, #HCCB replenished 12.98 L kiloliters of water in #Rajasthan, despite having no operations in the state.
For a long time, #farmers in the #Goblej village in #Gujarat dedicated their time and effort to cultivating #paddy. It was their sole source of income, so they harvested it twice a year.
However, this wasn’t yielding benefits for the farmers since paddy cultivation needs a lot of water and the rainfall has been deficient over the last few years. Moreover, growing the crop during summers,
additional use of fertilisers to maintain the fields, and excessive requirement of water resulting in soil degradation, added to the woes.

As a brand that strives to leave things better than first inherited, the theme of this World Nature Conservation Day, ‘Living sustainably in harmony with nature,' resonates with our ethos.
At HCCB, we believe that every environment-friendly step we take should be sustainable and effective enough to help build a better tomorrow. Promoting harmony between nature and people is the key here.
Through our many initiatives, we make every effort to give back a considerable amount of what we take from Mother Nature every year.
While at it, we ensure to partner with all sections of society and

When our farmers prosper, the nation prospers. With this view, #HCCB has set up 9 Kisan Clubs across different villages in #Gujarat, that help the farmers to adopt sustainable agricultural practices and introduce them to new crop varieties.
Innovative practices such as the SRI (System of Rice Intensification) method for paddy cultivation, crop diversification for tomato farming, and the trellis method for vegetable cultivation have helped these farmers manage seasonal challenges and
ensure a healthy harvest throughout the year. More than 112 families have not only increased their income
from farming but also nurtured healthier crops in the process. The clubs also provide technical training to these farmers on the Ikhedut portal,
