Sustainability in infrastructure projects is essential to ensure that the project not only meets the immediate needs but also has minimal negative impact on the environment and society in the long term. With sustainability as the core of our business at Welspun Enterprises, critical considerations are planned and to be implemented in our projects:
The environment is essential for human survival, providing us with resources such as food, water, and energy, as well as essential ecosystem services like carbon sequestration and climate regulation. Protecting the environment is essential for maintaining the health and well-being of both humans and natural world. This involves taking steps to reduce our environmental impact, using renewable energy sources, reducing wastes and pollution, and conserving natural resources.
The most critical aspect is to shift mind set and behaviour to recognize the interconnectedness of all living things and the importance of living in harmony with the natural world.
Managing greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory in projects is critical for following reasons:
One of the critical strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, primarily to improve upon following aspects:
Carbon footprint provides valuable information for new opportunities and sustainable finance:
The Solar rooftop system of 1 MW capacity installed on Nizamuddin bridge in New Delhi offsets electricity consumption of LED Streetlight on the stretch and supplies additional energy generated to the grid (through net metering system).
At our UP Jal Jeevan Mission project, a total of 27 MW capacity of solar panels are to be installed, in order to offset the energy required by pump houses to distribute water.
Extensive use of Pond Ash at our road projects enable us to reduce burrows for earth / soil on road embankments. This initiative significantly reduces dependency on burrows and minimizes the impact on biodiversity and soil.
All road projects with streetlights are developed using LEDs, including lights required for vertical landscaping.
As part of the beautification process of roads, 285 units of 8 sq.m. Vertical Gardens / Green Walls are installed on Nizamuddin Bridge at Delhi Meerut Expressway project.
