How Jubilant Ingrevia’s Sustainability Initiatives are Powering High Impact Change
Sustainability has always been part of the ethos at Jubilant Ingrevia Limited since its inception. Accordingly, these initiatives are implemented at all our manufacturing facilities in Maharashtra (Ambernath and Nira), Gujarat (Bharuch and Savli) and Uttar Pradesh (Gajraula).
Project JIVAN: Symbolising Net-positivity in Action
Jubilant Ingrevia’s Project JIVAN translates ambitions in sustainability into measurable action. Project JIVAN is aimed at integrating environmental and social concerns into core business decisions while promoting a culture of accountability throughout the organisation. To accelerate this transformation transparently, we have partnered with a leading academic entity to build ESG knowledge, a global advisor to curate credible initiatives and a digital ESG platform that facilitates real time performance tracking.
As part of Jubilant Ingrevia’s Operational Excellence measures, Six Sigma methodologies have been deployed under the Surge, Lean and Business Excellence programmes. These have resulted in annual cost savings of ₹1,200 million, while improving workforce productivity by 20% and lowering energy and effluent treatment expenses by 17% and 13%, respectively. As part of our sustainability initiatives, we have achieved 26.5% of power usage through renewable sources in FY 2026.
Benchmarks and Accolades in ESG and Circularity
Our ESG commitments remain crystal clear: net-zero pathways, water neutrality and zero waste to landfill. In FY 2025, renewable energy helped Jubilant avoid more than 13,000 tCO₂e (tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent). In this review year, 45% of the processed water was recycled across sites, while three facilities achieved zero liquid discharge. Since water conservation has been one of our top priorities, rainwater harvesting systems have been built across sites to ensure groundwater recharge. More than 566,515 trees were planted to boost local biodiversity. Consequently, on the S&P Dow Jones Sustainability Index (Global Chemical Industry), we were ranked in the 92nd percentile and even earned an EcoVadis Silver rating, which placed us in the top 15% worldwide.
Customer-Centricity and Green Alternatives
Given the universal focus on ESG, customers are redefining their expectations from the specialty chemicals sector. Aware of the new customer trends, we are catering to their evolving preferences by integrating green chemistry plus responsible manufacturing into the heart of our strategy. Keeping such trends in mind, we pioneered the use of bio based alternatives and deployed cutting-edge R&D for both process modification and intensification.
To produce products in a leaner, greener and more efficient manner, we have adopted green feedstocks, low-carbon operations and advanced digital technologies. This has created immense value for customers and their stakeholders. Jubilant Ingrevia ensures reliability and trust in every delivery with absolute regulatory compliance and a robust digital safety framework for IP protection supported by a seamless logistics network.
We have maintained our platinum membership in the ICC’s “Nicer Globe” Responsible Care programme. This reaffirms that every shipment of our chemical products conforms to the highest safety and environmental standards.
Integrated Value Chains and Multipronged Strategy to Reduce GHG Emissions
The Company’s fully integrated approach across Specialty Chemicals, Nutrition & Health Solutions and Chemical Intermediates boosts quality, cost and sustainability control. Our inclusive sourcing programme has been strengthened by the partnership with more than 30 MSMEs (micro, small and medium enterprises) that use clean energy while embracing circular economy practices. GHG emissions are being reduced to strengthen resistance against climate change via a multi-pronged approach. The steps include expanding renewable energy sources like solar, wind and biomass, enhancing energy efficiency through process optimisation, heat recovery and digital monitoring, while engaging suppliers complying with responsible sourcing norms vis-à-vis climate considerations. Jubilant Ingrevia has also undertaken TCFD-aligned (Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) climate risk assessments, while investing in R&D for sustainable specialty chemicals, publishing third-party-assured GHG inventories and closely monitoring energy use and emissions intensity on every tonne for sustained improvement. These measures have helped in driving a 5% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions over FY 2024.
Energy Management Initiatives and Outcomes
Undertook 31 focused energy efficiency projects across its manufacturing operations, leading to 19 million units of renewable power usage in FY 2025. Between FY 2023 and FY 2025, use of renewable energy was scaled significantly, signalling a conscious shift from fossil fuels. Energy intensity per rupee of turnover improved by 6.64% between FY 2024 and FY 2025, highlighting our commitment to operational efficiencies. Moreover, it ensured 7% reduction in total direct energy consumption from non-renewable energy sources in FY 2025 and around 5% reduction in total energy consumption from FY 2024. Along with other measures, it has helped the Company conserve a substantial percentage of energy, equivalent to cost savings of ₹536 million in the reporting year.
In FY 2025, major progress was achieved in reducing emissions with targeted investments and operational enhancements across facilities. Scope 1 emissions – originating from direct sources like fuel combustion and company-run vehicles – decreased by 6.7% versus FY 2024. Broadly, combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions amounted to around 745,340 MT CO₂e during FY 2025, indicating an overall decline of 5%.
Responsible Treatment of Effluents
We test regularly for key water quality indicators like BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand), COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand), TSS (Total Suspended Solids), TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) and pH (acidic or alkaline content of water). Both in-house monitoring systems and independent third-party laboratories are then used to validate these parameters, ensuring complete compliance and transparency.
To limit dependency on freshwater sources, treated water is actively recycled and reused across operations, wherever feasible. Between FY 2024 and FY 2025, this has led to 13% reduction in total water withdrawal and an approximate reduction of 41% in water discharge by source and 20% in water intensity per turnover.
Actions to Track Our Sustainability Journey
Deployed an ESG-focused software, UPDAPT, that tracks and reports environmental performance. As ESG expectations are rising, the platform allows consistent, accurate and analytics-ready data flows supporting data-driven decision-making. Highlights of this strategy include 100% of operational sites undergoing an environmental risk assessment, ₹480 million saved in operational costs through the shift to cleaner fuels and ₹310 million investments in sustainability-focused technologies.
