SUSTAINABILITY

To us, sustainability is:
- Integral to our business philosophy
- Providing a safe and healthy work environment
- Use of environment friendly technologies in our businesses
- Conservation of natural resources
- Socio-economic development of our communities
We practice sustainability within the framework of well defined governance structures and policies and with the demonstrated commitment of our management and employees. Our sustainability team comprises over 425 full time resources and over 600 extension workers.
We aim not only to minimise damage to the environment from our projects but to make a net positive impact on the environment wherever we work. We fully recognise the importance of including local communities and other key stakeholders in our development strategy to ensure that our impact is positive.
Rather than simply providing aid, we aim to create sustainable livelihood opportunities – improving the quality of life for society and contributing to the basics of life harmoniously. We believe that the principle of sustainability is a key component of conducting business in a responsible manner and it is a primary aim of Vedanta to operate as a good corporate citizen.
