WARMTH OF WOOD WITH SUSTAINABILITY

We understand sustainability as how we consume and harness resources, not only in the environment but in the society and economy too. We believe creating beautiful spaces can never be at the cost of causing damage to our planet because climate change is a reality. Hence, we are committed to making better products using processes that are sustainable and their impact gentle on the people and the planet.

To keep our impact positive on the environment, we have set up a Green Strategy Group. The group’s task is to single-mindedly work towards developing, implementing, and monitoring several green initiatives across our organization. So that whatever we do, we leave behind something meaningful, and not just our carbon footprints.

Our vision is to create a balance between economic growth and positive social impact by embracing methods that promote environmental protection and renewal.

Zero liquid discharge

Zero Liquid Discharge

Unsustainable consumption is putting great pressure on the planet by creating wastage that ends up contaminating our water and soil. At Greenlam, we make sure nothing toxic leaves our plants. To keep a check on this, we conduct continuous research and modifications in the production processes. This simple, yet essential, method ensures a product that not only reduces fugitive emissions, but also result in zero effluent discharge from our plants

We have successfully reduced our groundwater withdrawal, STP loads with high TDS treatable water, and the consequent power consumption. It conserves energy wasted in heating fresh water and provides a stable heat gradient, ensuring consistent product quality just by employing this practice at our facilities, we have saved over 8 million litres of water in 2020-21 and over 20 million liters in 2021-22. Also 80,000 kilowatt-hours of electrical energy saving has been consecutively achieved in the past two years. Also, reputed agencies conduct periodic energy audits and recommend different measures for conserving energy which has helped us save over 35,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity on an average in a year so far.

Renewable Energy Utilization

Renewable Energy Utilization

We make full use of various renewable energy resources available to preserve our environment. Not only are they easier to procure and more economical, but they are also much less harmful. And so, we employ 13 million kilos of biofuel annually that offsets 1.16 million tons of CO2 emissions, and our solar energy plant generates 0.3 million watts of energy. Taking us one step closer to a cleaner and greener environment

Relying on the forests for our raw material requirements, we are also sincerely committed to the cause of conserving them. Our products are FSC® and PEFC certified, validating our claims of sustainable and responsible management of natural resources. Along with recycled inputs, pre- and post-consumer content validation are determined for every product to safeguard the highest performance characteristics and meet all emission norms. And that’s not it. Some parts of our planted area also utilize native or adaptive tree species indigenous to the regional climate, being beneficial for the society, economy, and the environment.

Safety-Friendly Products

Safety-Friendly Products

The safety of our consumers is always our priority. Our products have conformance to EN 717-1 standard. Being compliant to all the expected standards of VOCs, formalin, and other allied chemical constituents’ emissions, Greenlam products are safe to use.

We take the health of our employees very seriously. And so, to ensure a healthy work environment, we carry out periodic tests to keep the indoor air quality in check while conserving the atmospheric air. We have in place a continuous monitoring of emission and VOC on a real time basis to ensure the same.

Mindful of the alarming levels of pollution in our country, we take all the necessary measures to not add to the problem. For instance, we only use fuel-efficient and low-gas-emitting vehicles to ensure toxic-free, clean air.
