ALL's management allotted a certain percentage of land on its campuses
for greening purposes. Of the total 53.41 hectares ground area of the
Ennore Unit, around 10% was used for planting trees, landscaping and
maintaining lawns. In order to increase awareness about housekeeping and
environmental activities among employees, the 'Ezhil Migu' (full beauty)

Reaping the Benefits
Replacement of chemical fertilizers with the manure extracted from sludge
resulted in savings of Rs 1,65,000 per annum for the Ennore plant. According
to company sources, on an average, around 250,000 litres of recycled water
was pumped into the garden and other greening initiatives, saving the
company Rs 15 million per annum. The company's energy conservation efforts
resulted in reduction in energy required for heat treatment by 70%. As a
result of all these initiatives, ALL reportedly saved around Rs 70 million
per year. (Refer Table V for process improvements benefits)... |
