Environment
To conserve environment and ecology, WE take adequate measures to reduce carbon and effluent emission and minimise use of natural resources
Sensitive to Ecology
J.K Organisation ensures that all its plants maintain highest level efficiency in conserving resources especially energy and water. All plants of JK Tyre are largely zero discharge facilities. More than six lakhs trees have been planted till now in and around JK Tyre manufacturing facilities. Green patches are also being maintained for general public at traffic circles & along the factory road.
All plants of JK Lakshmi Cement have undertaken activities on Rainwater Harvesting. The company is even focussing on new products which are eco-friendly and provide alternate solutions to prevent processes that harm the environment.
The AAC (autoclaved aerated concrete) blocks produced by JKLC are an alternate to conventional bricks. These not only prevents destruction of the top soil caused while procuring clay for bricks, but they are produced by processing fly-ash a harmful by-product. Also the AAC blocks are a quicker and a more sustainable material for construction.
JK Paper has been in the forefront in its sector to start Farm Forestry activities. While it covers around 15,000 hectares currently under this, cumulatively it has covered over 116,000 hectares till now benefiting over a lakh farmers directly in Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat and Maharashtra. Currently the Company plants more trees that what it consumes for its production thereby making it a Green Positive Company. Even the discharges from the factories are free from toxins to ensure that the ecology is left unharmed.
