ITC will continue to be carbon, water and waste recycling positive despite its fast paced growth
Description/achievement of initiative

ITC will sustain its status as a carbon positive, water positive and solid waste recycling positive enterprise even as its businesses expand rapidly with the creation of large sustainable livelihoods.

Implementation methodologies

ITC's vision to serve a larger societal purpose has led it to craft innovative business models that contribute to creating economic, environmental and social capital. ITC measures its performance across all the dimensions of the triple bottom line, details of which are available in its Sustainability Reports at www.itcportal.com.

In addition, ITC's Sustainability Vision is vigorously pursued through a dedicated social investment programme titled ‘Mission Sunehra Kal' that aims to empower stakeholder communities to conserve and manage their social and environmental capital.
