SUSTAINABILITY
Our dedication to sustainability seamlessly aligns with our core principles.
Rooted in our values of people, accountability, and innovation, Glowstone's sustainability vision is clear. Our objectives revolve around sustainable product development, environmentally conscious manufacturing practices, prioritizing health and safety, and fostering social responsibility.
OUR SPROUTS
-
Our factory currently relies on solar power for approximately 20% of its total electricity consumption, fluctuating between 19% to 21%. With the onset of summer, we anticipate this figure to rise to 22%.
-
To further bolster our renewable energy initiatives, we plan to augment our solar power generation from 800 Kilowatts to 2000 Kilowatts per hour by installing additional solar panels, representing a 150% increase.
-
As part of our commitment to social impact, we donate between 1500 to 2000 kilowatt-hours of electricity monthly to the government, benefiting households in neighboring villages.
-
Embracing energy-efficient technologies, we've replaced conventional bulbs and tubelights with LEDs, resulting in an 80% reduction in electricity consumption.
-
In line with our sustainability goals, we operate electric forklifts in the factory, prioritizing electric vehicles over gas-powered alternatives.
WATER RECYCLING
-
Despite maintaining a reservoir of 8 lakh litres of flowing water, our factory achieves a 0% water discharge, contributing to cleaner rivers and seas.
-
The slurry produced during water recycling is repurposed in brickmaking and other construction activities, promoting circular resource utilization.
-
Our wastewater treatment facility ensures that sewage water is purified and utilized for plantation purposes throughout the factory premises.
CARBON FOOTPRINT
-
Glowstone benefits from its strategic location near quartz-rich regions in Rajasthan, providing a natural advantage over competitors.
-
Unlike our European and Chinese counterparts, who import raw materials from distant locations in India, we source our materials from quarries just 2 hours away from the factory. This localized sourcing significantly reduces our carbon footprint by minimizing transportation distances.
