Sustainability

Zero Waste

We at Welspun Flooring have adopted the principle of
responsible management of all types of process waste
since the inception of the facility. We ensure that our
material management is handled responsibly towards a
circular economy for all process-generated wastes. Our
manufacturing facility operates in a zero waste to landfill
principle, and this is not restricted to processing wastes
alone but is extended across the entire operations.

Zero Emission

We conduct carbon footprint assessments and energy
audits to analyse the existing power consumption
pattern and bring to action the best solution to reduce
carbon emissions. We have initiated the use of Biogenic
fuel resources to avoid fossil fuel dependence. Apart
from the above, activities such as vehicle pooling for
employee commute, use of electrical equipment for all
our internal material movement, flexible packing
material made from recycled content for our final finish
products are some initiatives aimed at reducing
emissions.

Zero Non-Renewable Energy

To streamline our work towards sustainability, we have
shifted a part of our energy dependency from
conventional power generation to renewable energy. At
present, over 15% of our total energy is sourced from
renewable inputs. We aim to increase this dependency to
100% renewable sources by 2030.

Reduce, Reuse, Re-purpose & Recycle

The Indian value systems, ingrained in our cultural roots are implemented in all our operations and supply chains to prevent any
forms of environmental damage from our operations. Our focus on the 4R's is of the order: first to reduce, then to reuse followed
by repurposing and recycling. The adoption of the above principle is not limited to material management alone but is extended
to the utilisation of other resources such as water, electricity, etc. We are a Zero Liquid discharge facility.

ENVIRONMENT, SOCIAL & GOVERNANCE

ESG Compass

ESG data tracking and reporting
with cutting-edge technology

As a part of the commitment to upholding the highest ESG standards, Welspun World has executed a new technological tool for ESG
reporting and data monitoring called the 'ESG Compass'. ESG Compass takes care of performance data collection through all the
Group's business entities and sites/plants. Data is securely gathered and collated throughout 30+ ESG KPIs in the E, S, and G domains.
Vital KPIs include electricity and fuel consumption, waste generation. GHG emissions, environmental emissions, governance
parameters, diversity ratios, and more. ESG Compass streamlines reporting to all stakeholders on the Group's ESG metrics, while using
a maker-checker framework for capturing data with complete traceability. SAP helps automate data collection while providing scope
for individual data entry. And that's not all; there is a helpful dashboard outlining the Group's shift towards de-carbonization in
relation to Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.

Welspun's Commitment

We're already on course towards mainstreaming our ESG blueprint while you're reading this! We have been integrating consumer-driven and
innovation-led ESG initiatives into our operational paradigms for a long time now, inspired by our proactive & committed leadership team. Our
global home textiles presence is just the tip of the iceberg. We are now focusing on syncing with global best practices on ESG, with higher
transparency, better social and community outreach, and environmental protection measures. What better way to spread a few smiles, do some
good, and take our business into the next-gen terrain of social responsibility and commitment?

Environment

Social

Governance

All of us have the pivotal responsibility of passing on a healthy environment to our future generations. We have
concentrated our efforts in crucial areas, segregating them into Water, Air, and Land. Our core motto is the
restoration of the ecosystem and the maintenance of ecological balance. Our ESG strategy neatly aligns with our
core philosophy of inclusivity. Here's taking a look:

Well, we all know the answer to that question is a simple yes. While all is not
lost yet, we have to start taking small but responsible steps toward improving
the current situation and future preservation.

Climate change is inescapable and Welspun understands the importance of
swiftly and pro-actively lowering the energy and carbon footprint, How will we
achieve this? We are working on phasing out our dependence on fossil fuels
for energy generation and adopting renewable energy sources. We track every
ounce of fossil fuel used and electricity consumed in our operations and
report them under the Scope I & 2 emissions. We are also replacing virgin raw
materials with more recycled materials.

WATER

What would you rather imagine:
a world with water scarcity or
a world with clean water for all?

It is this thought that drives us towards increasing our conservation efforts

Here's what we're doing in this regard:

Judicious and careful water use in processing operations.

Innovative water management project at Anjar with 40 MLD sewage treatment plant for recycling purposes.
In a prime example of sustainability, the project is a partnership with the Anjar, Adipur,
and Gandhidham local municipalities.

We collect, transport and treat public sewage at the plant and use the treated water for our operations
thereby recycling close to 7 billion litres of sewage water every year!

We are also focused on lowering our water intensity/kg of processed items, taking it lower
than the average threshold in the Industry.

We've set up a rainwater harvesting pond at Anjar, enhancing availability not only for us,
but the entire local community as well. In fact, the project is steadily attracting migratory birds, turning
into a pleasing biodiversity hub in its own right.

LAND

We're all children of
the soil and owe it to our Earth to
combat land pollution.

This is what our blueprint looks like:

Minimising disposal of wastes to land, Increased use of recycled materials - Focus on circularity

More sustainable and organic raw materials for production.

We've undertaken tree plantation drives throughout our plants and surrounding zones.
Anjar alone has close to 300,000 saplings sown till date.

We've set up a training program for more than 16,400 farmers, teaching them all
about Good Agricultural Practices.

The agronomy team supports and encourages sustainable cotton farming in Telangana, Gujarat,
and Maharashtra, switching to natural pesticides and fertilizers alongside.

And that's not all; we're also looking at cutting down on the waste being dispatched to landfills. We're converting
waste fabrics into cotton fibres and repurposing the same. We are also swapping virgin polyester with its recycled
counterpart that is created from disposed-PET bottles, We're also reusing and recycling high-calorific waste,
deploying it for generating power. We've successfully avoided more than 80% of these wastes from being sent to landfills.

The best part is that we've implemented a responsible procurement policy across the different businesses and
a clear-cut Supplier Code of Conduct. We also evaluate our suppliers on their ESG quotient, with our screening
procedure encompassing supply chain management, ISO certification, safety, labour practices. service ratings,
and overall quality.
