The water positivity index for the Nelamangala plant is 1.24, which demonstrates replenishing a much greater quantity of water than withdrawals for the company’s operation
ABB, a technology company that works with utility, industry, transportation and infrastructure customers in India, said its Nelamangala unit has received a ‘Water Positive’ certification from The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI).
“Our Nelamangala unit turning ‘Water Positive’ is a step towards continued resource conservation, in line with our 2030 global sustainability commitments.We are committed to implementing various other similar environment-friendly measures across our ABB India locations to bring about a sustainable change,” said Sanjeev Sharma, Country Head and Managing Director, ABB India.
In place of simply replacing the amount of water taken from nature, the unit implemented an Innovative 6R approach to replenish more water than it consumes at the location. The approach includes initiatives such as rainwater use and recharge, reduction in the use of fresh water, water recycling, and real-time monitoring of water consumption, recharge, and saving.
