Building a Greener Future: Discover our Journey towards Sustainable Practices

Sustainability is not just a concept for us; it is integral to our vision and values. We firmly believe that environmentally-friendly growth is the only path toward meaningful progress. Cement production, known for its resource-intensive and energy-demanding nature, drives us to prioritize

resource conservation, responsible consumption, and resource rejuvenation across all our operations. 

Year after year, we ardently advance on the path of environmental stewardship, implementing strategies more resolute than ever before, as we strive to mitigate our impact on the climate.

In my message, I am pleased to highlight JK Lakshmi Cement Ltd.'s unwavering commitment to sustainability, a fundamental pillar of our business ethos. Our notable achievements in this realm include the promotion of LNG trucks to reduce CO emissions, achieving a water positivity level of 4X with a target of 5X by 2025, and striving for a Thermal Substitution Rate (TSR) of 20% by 2030. Additionally, we have achieved a commendable 37% renewable energy usage in FY 2022-23, marked by the installation of floating solar panels—a pioneering initiative in the Indian Cement Industry.

Our dedication to sustainability extends further, with a firm commitment to achieving net-zero targets by 2047.
