Climate change is one of the most pressing global challenges of our time. At Mankind Pharma, we understand the urgency of this crisis and our responsibility to minimize environmental impact. As a forward-thinking organization, we are committed to taking bold steps to build a decarbonized society. Through innovation, collaboration, and sustainable practices, we aim to lead the way in addressing climate change and setting benchmarks for the industry.
Our Climate Commitments
Our commitment to sustainability is deeply rooted in our mission to create a better tomorrow. We are working tirelessly to align with India’s climate goals while positioning ourselves as a leader in the global transition toward sustainability. Here’s how we’re turning our ambitions into action:
- 100% Renewable Power by 2030: We are dedicated to sourcing all our operations through renewable power by 2030.
- Carbon Neutrality by 2030: By adopting cutting-edge technologies and sustainable practices, we aim to achieve carbon neutrality within the same timeframe.
These commitments underscore our determination to drive meaningful change and make a tangible impact on the environment.
Achievements So Far
Our journey toward decarbonization is well underway. In the financial year 2024, we achieved a remarkable milestone:
- 52% of our total energy consumption was sourced from renewable power.
- Reduction in total energy consumption by 13%, thanks to investments in energy efficiency and green technologies.
- 55% reduction in carbon emissions (Scope 1 & 2) compared to the previous year.
These achievements highlight our steadfast dedication to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and shifting from non-renewable to renewable energy sources.
Steps We’re Taking to Build a Decarbonized Future
To achieve our ambitious goals by 2030, we have implemented a range of initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions and energy consumption:
- Solar Power Adoption:
- Installation of rooftop solar panels across our manufacturing units and corporate offices to harness clean energy.
- Transition to Agro-Briquette Boilers:
- Replacing conventional coal-based boilers with 100% agro-briquette-based boilers, a cleaner and more sustainable alternative.
- Renewable Power Procurement:
- Purchasing 89% and 100% GRID renewable power (hydro) from the Himachal Pradesh and Sikkim State Electricity Boards, respectively.
- Energy Efficiency Enhancements:
- Leveraging advanced technologies like AI-based chillers, air handling unit (AHU) optimization, and energy-efficient motor replacements.
- Installation of variable frequency drives (VFDs) to improve energy usage.
Driving Change, Together
Sustainability is a shared responsibility. Beyond implementing green practices, we collaborate closely with stakeholders to amplify our impact. Transparency and accountability are integral to our approach, as evidenced by our public reporting on emissions and sustainability initiatives.
A Vision for the Future
At Mankind Pharma, our vision extends beyond achieving renewable energy and carbon neutrality goals. We aim to inspire change across the pharmaceutical sector and beyond, demonstrating that sustainable practices are not only necessary but achievable. Our efforts contribute to a healthier planet while aligning with India’s climate goals, creating a legacy of responsibility and innovation.
As we move forward, we remain committed to investing in energy-efficient technologies and sustainable practices that will accelerate our journey toward a decarbonized society. Together, we can create a sustainable future for generations to come.
