2. a. Does the entity have procedures in place for sustainable sourcing? (Yes/No)
Yes
- b. If yes, what percentage of inputs were sourced sustainably?
Around 80% of inputs were sourced sustainably, the Company has formulated an operating procedure to approve vendors. Materials are procured from approved vendors both, local and international. The quality assurance team of the Company conducts periodic audit of the vendors, especially those who supply key materials and there is very specific focus towards the conservation of energy, water & environment at their end.
3. Describe the processes in place to safely reclaim your products for reusing, recycling and disposing at the end of life, for (a) Plastics (including packaging) (b) E-waste (c) Hazardous waste and (d) other waste.
Our product line comprises products predominantly made of metals, accounting for around 99% of the composition. This metal content renders our products highly recyclable. The materials used, including ferrous and non-ferrous elements, contribute to a robust and sustainable life cycle lasting approximately 20-25 years. As a result, direct reclamation of our products for recycling post their life cycle is currently unviable.
Our product manual serves as a tool to raise awareness among customers, advocating for the recycling of used products through designated recyclers. At the end of their life cycle, our products do not generate plastic, e-waste, hazardous waste, or any other form of waste, aligning with our commitment to environmental sustainability.
4. Whether Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is applicable to the entity’s activities (Yes / No). If yes, whether the waste collection plan is in line with the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) plan submitted to Pollution Control Boards? If not, provide steps taken to address the same.
Yes, we are disposing the waste in line with the EPR requirement to registered recyclers.

10 Health and safety management system:
- a. Whether an occupational health and safety management system has been implemented by the entity? (Yes/ No). If yes, the coverage of such a system?
Yes, at Elecon, safety is ingrained as a fundamental value rather than just a priority. To mitigate safety incidents and emphasise the importance of well-being, we take proactive and preventive measures.

This comprehensive occupational health and safety management system underscores our commitment to ensuring a safe and healthy work environment for all employees. The detailed policy is available at https://www.elecon.com/views/templates/ admin-uploads/Investors/Policies/EHS%20policy-2023.pdf.
- b. What are the processes used to identify work-related hazards and assess risks on a routine and non-routine basis by the entity?
To ensure comprehensive risk management across our offices and manufacturing facility, we have implemented a systematic risk management procedure.

Documentation, approval, and communication of risk mitigation plans to relevant stakeholders are integral steps in our risk management process. Our operations are guided by safety observations, rectification plans, and procedures encompassing Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment for all activities, contractor safety management, and regular external audits to maintain a safe and compliant workplace.
- c. Whether you have processes for workers to report the work-related hazards and to remove themselves from such risks. (Y/N)
Yes, We have a structured risk management approach in place to ensure safety across our offices and manufacturing facility. This involves engineers, production supervisors, and EHS team members actively participating in risk assessments and managing identified risks. Documenting, approving, and communicating risk mitigation plans to stakeholders is crucial. Our operations are guided by safety observations, rectification plans, and procedures covering Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment, contractor safety management, and routine external audits for workplace safety compliance.
d. Do the employees/ workers of the entity have access to non-occupational medical and healthcare services? (Yes/ No)
Yes, all workers, including their dependent family members, have access to an external multispecialty reputed hospital in close proximity to our premises.

Additionally, we conduct awareness programs conducted by experts on various topics such as good health habits, heart attack, varicose veins, orthopedic pain, and more to educate and empower our employees and their families.
Furthermore, all our employees are covered under a group health insurance policy that ensures access to a wide range of non-occupational medical and healthcare services. This coverage reinforces our commitment to supporting the well-being and health needs of our workforce and their loved ones.

8. Does the entity have any project related to reducing Green House Gas emission? If Yes, then provide details.
Yes, this year we have set up a 2 MW capacity of solar rooftop, significantly contributing to our organisation’s sustainability efforts by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, to achieve net-zero emissions in our operations, we’ve established our own wind farm, which generates electricity supplied to the grid. We receive credits for the units contributed, effectively reducing our electricity bills. Our renewable energy infrastructure boasts a total installed capacity of 5.5 MW in solar rooftops and 13.25 MW in windfarms. Through the utilisation of these renewable sources, we’ve successfully avoided CO2 emissions.
We are committed to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions in alignment with the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), target validation will get done this year. Our emission reduction target will be established based on identified decarbonisation strategies, including the adoption of renewable energy, enhancing energy efficiency, and implementing fuel-switching measures.

We closely monitor waste management techniques. Automated machining of gear parts addresses this issue by minimising the amount of metal scrap generated. We generate a substantial amount of metal scrap, which is then reused in our foundry shop to make castings. Hazardous waste (used oil) contaminated empty containers (carboys, tins, cans, etc.) are disposed of to an approved recycler in accordance with regulatory requirements. Our foundry produces a substantial volume of burnt sand, which is used by recyclers in the infrastructure and building industries.
