AFL is committed to contribute to limiting global temperature increase to well below 2°C, aiming towards 1.5°C, by the end of the century. We are working several initiatives to achieve energy efficiency and are committed to adopt renewable energy in our operations.
Renewable energy
We have taken the first step in this direction and have shifted 80% of our electricity consumption in the Corporate office to renewable sources. We have entered an agreement with a third party to supply 14 lac kWh of solar power per annum via open access. This will help us reduce ~1200 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per annum from our operations, in turn reducing our footprint on the environment. We are also exploring the potential to shift to solar energy for our warehouses and stores.
Energy efficiency
All the new stores are being launched with LED lighting and the conventional lighting are being replaced with LED lighting in the existing stores.
Target
- 50% of the energy portfolio shifted to renewable sources in warehouse Operations by 2025
- 20% reduction in Specific GHG emission in Stores by 2025 in comparison of 2021 by installing IOT’s
- 20% reduction in Scope 1 Specific GHG emissions from goods vehicles shifting to electric vehicles by 2025
