Energy Management
Energy is the primary resource in operating our business processes. We use energy resources very responsibly considering
sustainable development. Technological advancement has been done in business processes to use energy resources
efficiently. Additional efforts have been taken to increase the use of renewable energy sources like the installation of solar
panels and thereby reducing carbon emissions.
