1 Energy &
Climate
Change
Risk and
Opportunity
Risk: Trident is dependent on
fossil fuels as a source of energy
for boilers. The Company is also
dependent on heavy amount of
water intake for paper and pulp
manufacturing. Any disruption in the
supply chain of traditional fuel will
have direct and significant increase
in the price and could adversely
affect the Company’s operations and
profitability. Secondly, as climate
change is leading to more intense
weather events such as- heat
waves, droughts, extreme floods
and cyclones, it can impact the
water availability at extreme high
temperatures, forest degradation,
and impact the supply chain during
extreme weather events. These
events can have direct impact on the
Company’s value chain operations
and could lead to a declining
revenue.
Opportunity: The Company can
adapt to innovate processes to
achieve energy efficiency and
reduce carbon footprint throughout
the value chain. The Company
can explore decarbonisation
opportunities throughout the
value chain and develop products
which has low/zero emissions.
Climate change adaptation and
decarbonisation solutions will also
provide the company an opportunity
to gain competitive edge and
enhance market position



The Company has
implemented ESG principles
across the business functions
and operations and have
undertaken some key targets
under the pillars of Emissions,
Water, Waste and RE. Trident
has undertaken Science Based
Targets to reduce Scope 1
and Scope 2 emissions by
2031 and become a Net-Zero
Company 2050. Some of the
best practices implemented
includes- increasing biofuel
consumption, transitioning
from coal based grid supply
to renewable purchases like
IREC’s, water conservation
and recycling and CAPEX
investment in Solar and energy
efficient technologies.


Positive Implication:
Implementation of
measures to switch
from Coal will reduce
carbon emissions and
enhance the Company’s
reputation in the long
run resulting in better
brand value. Costly
Investments: Adapting
to changing climate
conditions may require
significant investments
in new infrastructure or
equipment.

continuous employee and
worker engagements.
All manufacturing locations
are certified to Occupational
Health and Safety
Management Systems (ISO
45001:2018) which encourages
proactive approach to identify,
evaluate and remediate risks
before they cause accidents
and injuries. By implementing
these measures, Trident aims

Business Responsibility & Sustainability Reporting (Contd.)

10. Briefly describe the waste management practices adopted in your establishments. Describe the strategy adopted by your Company to reduce usage of hazardous and toxic chemicals in your products and processes and the practices adopted to manage such wastes.

The Company has established dedicated processes and facilities for handling hazardous waste, battery waste, e-waste, and scrap ensuring compliance with all legal requirements associated with different types of waste. Having adopted 5Rs framework to address waste generation, viz. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Re-engineer, Redesign, our primary focus is on waste reduction and reuse,and we responsibly dispose of whatever remains.

  1. Waste identification, segregation and storage- We have identified the different types and categories of waste and the operations, processes, and activities where they are generated. Areas are earmarked within each department/ process where the waste generated daily is segregated and stored. Vendors for recycling different types of waste are identified and based on their compliance with legal requirements and the company’s SOP, authorisation is granted. The transportation of waste follows specific procedures and adherence to the requirements for suitable vehicles and transport methods

  2. Waste reduction, recycle and reuse- While we follow the standard SOP for waste disposal, we give precedence to identifying areas within our operations where waste can be reduced. This involves kaizens around optimising processes, finding alternatives to wasteful methods and practices, e.g. we have implemented optimisation systems to reduce steam and power consumption .We also actively explore opportunities to reuse materials within our operations, e.g. Comber Noil and rich flat cotton waste from spinning units are reused in open end spinning with in our operations. Furthermore, to reduce dependency on traditional fuels, we are exploring various forms of waste to energy viz. micro dust from spinning is used in boiler, wastewater from washing straw which is rich in organic content is used to generate Biogas.

  3. Responsible Disposal-Disposal of Hazardous waste, Biomedical waste, e-waste, and battery waste is done following all necessary compliances and guidelines. Hazardous waste and biomedical waste are handed over to TSDFs (Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities) authorised by the State Pollution Control Board, and e-waste and battery waste are given to vendors authorised by the State Pollution Control Board.

  4. Chemical Management- The company has a well-documented chemical management policy accessible to all stakeholders and supporting procedures on identification, procurement, storage and handling, transportation and traceability of chemicals which includes the following procedures:

  5. a. Chemical Evaluation against requirements of RSL/MRSL prescribed in ZDHC and Oeko Tex STeP and furnishing documents viz. TDS, SDS, Certificate of Analysis, GOTS, REACH

  6. b. The Chemical management system holds chemical manager responsible for performing chemical risk assessment when incorporating any new chemical

  7. c. Wastewater standard- Ensuring effluent quality meet applicable standards for key parameters such as pH, suspended solids, BOD, COD, TDS, Heavy metals and toxic substances.

Daily testing of the ETP in-let water, ETP out-let water is conducted by in-house laboratory. A government-approved third-party agency performs monthly testing, and globally recognised laboratories like Hohenstein conduct annual tests based on the ZDHC wastewater guidelines.

11. If the entity has operations/offices in/around ecologically sensitive areas (such as national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, biosphere reserves, wetlands, biodiversity hotspots, forests,coastal regulation zones etc.) where environmental approvals / clearances are required,please specify details in the following format:
