Adani Energy Solutions Ltd (AESL) announced on Wednesday that all its active project sites, as well as its corporate headquarters, have secured the ‘Zero-Waste-to-Landfill’ (ZWL) certification from Intertek, a global leader in quality assurance.
The company confirmed it had achieved a 100 per cent diversion rate, ensuring no waste went to landfills.
According to the firm, ‘zero waste to landfill’ entails diverting at least 90 per cent of waste from disposal sites through methods such as reduction, reuse, recycling, and recovery.
“It’s a waste management policy focusing on conserving resources by keeping them in use for as long as possible, ultimately reducing the need for new virgin materials and minimising environmental impact,” AESL stated.
This accomplishment is a major step in AESL’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) agenda, launched in FY21 with the ambition of being ranked among the world’s top 10 electric utility companies in ESG benchmarking.
In the past three financial years, the company achieved diversion rates of 99.87 per cent, 99.88 per cent, and 99.99 per cent, making it the first transmission enterprise in India to consistently sustain over 99 per cent diversion.
For the current year, AESL stands alone as the only transmission utility to have attained the milestone figure of 100 per cent.
Its operational footprint extends across 54 sites in 16 states, several of which are located in remote or challenging environments, making the ZWL recognition a considerable feat.
The achievement reflects AESL’s robust ESG strategy, integrating operational performance with sustainable practices.
As India’s largest private transmission company, AESL operates across 16 states with a network spanning 26,696 circuit kilometres and a transformation capacity of 93,236 MVA.
Within distribution, the company caters to over 12 million consumers in Mumbai and the Mundra SEZ industrial hub.
Additionally, AESL is expanding its smart metering business, aiming to become the country’s top integrator with an order pipeline exceeding 22.8 million meters.
