Godrej | Consumer Products - Environment Management System

Towards a sustainable future

As a business we are not operating in a silo. We’re part of a larger, interconnected ecosystem that includes not only our stakeholders but also the environment that sustains us all. Back in 2011, we committed towards reducing our environmental footprint.

It was a commitment to a more sustainable way of doing business, and we knew we would gain in terms of savings and productivity over time, while creating significant impact on the planet.

We understand that our actions today would shape the world of tomorrow. We embarked on this journey, fully aware of the challenges that lay ahead but excited about the opportunities it presented.

Today, we have made even more ambitious commitments and stand by them, more determined than ever to make a difference. Because we believe that when business and environment go hand in hand, everyone wins.

Our Environment Management System (EMS)

We have built a robust EMS over time and have codified our systems in an Integrated Environment Management Policy.

EMS certification and audit

When we first crafted and shared our green targets internally in 2011 we had just began building out our EMS. Over the next few years we got our teams onboard and since 2014 it has become a seamless part of our manufacturing teams and we began to inch closer to our environmental goals while expanding our operations.

All our manufacturing plants are ISO 140001, ISO 45001 and ISO 9001 certified.
View the certifications here.

All our international plant locations go through an internal audit every six months to ensure creditability of procedures and systems are in place and we work on improving performance of our environmental parameters.

We duly comply with all local environmental laws and regulations. In the past five years, we have had no environmental or ecological violation against us nor we have paid any fines.
