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.
Our factories, therefore, provision for uninterrupted power supply (UPS) through established methods. However, the #HCCB factory in #Khordha, #Odisha, has recently deployed a UPS system that uses only 30% of the space versus the traditional power backup system.
#Lithium #Ion batteries require much less energy to keep them charged. They charge much quicker, too – almost 1/3rd of the time.

Moreover, these batteries have an extended life of 10-15 years compared to the 3-4 year life of the traditional batteries.
They are lower on #emissions and are less prone to fire due to advanced protection & monitoring. This may have been an expensive proposition to begin with, but it is not just ensuring productivity but is also helping improve our environmental footprint.

#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. Image
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
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.

#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.
To improve their income, #HCCB organized exposure visits and training at the local Krishi Vigyan Kendra for these farmers on

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. Image
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 Image
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, Image
