Jubilant views the climate change
challenge as an important issue and is geared towards mitigating and
adapting to risks of climate change. The Company’s Policy on
Climate Change Mitigation was released on June 5, 2009, the World
Environment Day. This is also demonstrated by the disclosure on
emissions reductions through Sustainability Reporting and Carbon
Disclosure Project (CDP), UK. Jubilant has secured 2nd position in
Carbon Disclosure Project 2010 with Carbon Disclosures Leadership Index
(CDLI) Score 77 for integrating climate change initiatives into the
operations of the organization. CDLI assesses companies on the quality
and completeness of their disclosures and includes factors such as ;
- Clear consideration of business – specific risks and
potential opportunities related to Climate Change
- Good internal data management, practices for understanding
Green House Gas (GHG)
emissions, including energy use
Jubilant is concerned about the climate change mitigation and had
adopted Climate Change Mitigation Policy to address the issues. The
efforts are focused at reducing emissions, energy conservation and
efficiency. Energy conservation facilitates the replacement of
non-renewable resources with renewable energy. Energy conservation
provides the most economical solution to energy shortages and is
environmental friendly.
The company initiated the use of biomass in boiler and hot air
generator. The distillery effluent treatment results in generation of
biogas which is a renewable resource and is used as fuel in the plant.
The company continuously takes initiatives to reduce energy consumption
at its manufacturing locations and corporate office. Few initiatives are
as follows:
- Use of extracted steam in Liquid incinerator
- Reduction in power consumption of ID fan in Liquid Incinerator by
reducing RPM.
- Utilization / recovery of flash steam in Pyridine and ethyl
acetate plant.
- Installation of energy efficient lights in administration
building, Guest House & colony and timer based lighting system
for street lights.
- Increase in condensate recovery
- Installation of Variable Frequency Drive at various locations.
- Modification of the low pressure cooling system in air compressor
The company has installed Waste Heat Recovery Boilers to capture
heat from flue gases from the incinerators. The spray dryers are also
installed to utilize the heat from exhaust gases of the incinerators.
Jubilant’s efforts in mitigating Climate Change are not restricted
for energy conservation at plant level. To inculcate the habit of energy
conservation, we create awareness on wider national & international
scene by commemorating World Environment Day, Earth Day, Earth Hour,
Ozone day, etc. with various stake holders.
