Redefining Sustainability at OC
Sustainability is not just a buzzword at OC. It is an inherent part of our research and operations.
Since our inception, we have extensively cared about environment protection and minimized industrial waste. With every product we make, we take rigorous measures to maximize their longevity and stability. From a successful Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) plant we’re now heading towards significant reduction in fresh water intake in the coming years. We see sustainability as a journey for our business that requires continuous learning, adaptation, and improvement of our industrial practices. Guiding us in that journey is our set of principles, defined as ANANT. They symbolize our continual efforts towards global sustainability.

Walking towards a Sustainable Future
To corroborate our commitment to SDGs laid down by our own framework ANANT, we have undertaken various initiatives in that direction.
Renewable Energy
We have invested in the installation of 3.96 MW of Solar power plant which is located in rural village near Dhule, Maharashtra. This step will help us to reduce our dependence on coal based power plant supplies and there by reducing our carbon footprint.
Green Fuel
We have entirely switched from coal to Biomass Briquettes, as fuel for heating systems reducing our carbon footprint. This initiative also improves the income of rural farmers who earns additional revenue from their farm waste which are used for making Biomass Briquettes.
