2 Environmental Sustainability is the Next Great Challenge in India’s Development Path

3 Environmental Sustainability: Need for Action from Industry

4 Sustainable Living from Natural Capital Natural capital Perpetual – renewed continuously –Solar energy Renewable – hours to decades –Water, Air, Forest Area of Concern Unsustainable resource use

BEL Approach Energy Conservation Water Conservation Go Green Apex Committee Annual Targets Green Power Recycling Sewage Water Rain Water Harvesting Tree Planting Maintain Green Environment Waste Management 6

7 WATER RESOURCES Limited availability of Potable Water Shrinking Ground water table: Bore wells drying up! Recycling Water: Need to use for gardening & horticulture Rain water harvesting to retrieve water BWSSB tertiary treated water WATER RESOURCES

ADOPTION OF NEW TECHNOLOGY BY THE INDUSTRY REQUIRING (LESS WATER PER UNIT OF PRODUCTION ) Replacement of natural draft cooling towers by induced draft cooling towers resulting in water conservation of about 1500M/year. Replacement of conventional air cooling system (water spray) by CELDEK cooling pads resulting in water conservation of about 2500 M/year. Switching over to waterless (Non flushing) urinals in a phased manner. Installation of auto level control switches in sumps and overhead tanks.

9 Water conservation Reduction in potable water consumption 28% in last 9 years Conserving 40% of potable water annually by recycling No waste water is discharged outside. Makes Bangalore Complex a Zero Discharge Unit. Water consumption in million ltrs

10 Electrical Energy consumption Vs Production (Company as a whole) Value of production in crore rupees Electrical energy in lakh KWHrs

11 Specific electrical energy consumption (KWHrs per lakh rupee of production) Company as a whole : 2190 Units : 88 Units Reduction by 95%

12 Electrical Energy Conservation Energy Consumption ( ) : Million units Energy Consumption ( ) : Million units Cumulative Energy savings : Million units (From to ) Reduction in carbon emissions : Equivalent of 16,315 tonnes of CO 2 Emission

Conservation of fresh water by use of treated wastewater BEL has an agreement with M/s Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board to buy one million Litres of water everyday from their sewage treatment plant. As such we are buying the tertiary treated sewage from the BWS&SB, Yelahanka sewage treatment plant. This will in turn save one million Litres of water every day which will be indirectly available to the community at large.

Environmentally sustainable society

22 Environmental Sustainability has become the next great challenge along India ’ s development path. Environmental institutions are trying to cope with increasing pressures of rapid growth. Public demand for cleaner environment has been a challenging task. Impressive initiatives in Environmental Awakening and good practice by various players are being adopted. The priority is to scale up these good practices across the country and reverse environmental degradation. THE WAY AHEAD…
