Your Company strives to minimise the environmental impact of the business’ operations and improve the efficient use of resources through sustainability and renewable energy solutions. Your Company supports the global goal of achieving zero greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions by 2050. On this front, your Company is in the process of formulating a plan in association with the business partners to upscale the use of solar energy at SDIPL sites. This will not only improve energy efficiency but also reduce GHG emissions. Your Company’s focus areas shall minimise GHG emissions falling under SCOPE 1 and SCOPE 2 segments. HSSE is at the core of your Company’s business operations, and the entire team is committed to driving the safety plan. Your Company operates with leading health and safety practices to support the goal of zero serious safety incidents.

In addition, your Company wants each of SDIPL’s members to be in good health, both physically and mentally. As a company that started operations in the middle of the pandemic, SDIPL has been involved in various aspects of COVID assistance for employees and their families. Your Company partnered with healthcare service providers and local authorities to organise mass vaccination drives across India open to all. SDIPL also teamed up with various healthcare organisations for basic testing, diagnostic and medical assistance to employees and their families. To assist SDIPL’s teams and their families for the immediate procurement of oxygen infrastructure, oxygen concentrators were acquired and made available for SDIPL’s members. Your Company had also developed a medicine aggregation system collected from patients that had already recovered in a central repository. As much as our discussions tether around safety, your Company is equally focused on fostering a positive work environment for its members. Respect for human rights, valuing diversity, and zero tolerance for workplace discrimination, violence, or harassment are non-negotiable facets of our culture.
