The potential of renewable energy for transforming operations and ensuring sustainability is immense. At IFGL, we understand this – and that’s precisely why we have set up solar panels and a photovoltaic (PV) system at our production units in the UK and Germany respectively. As an ecologically responsible organisation, we plan to become more self-reliant and energy-efficient in future.

Sustainability at IFGL: 5 Strategic Pillars

The dedicated energy management team at IFGL ensures efficient resource optimisation and energy efficiency. Energy wastage is kept at minimal levels at all times, and the efficacy of each process is reviewed periodically.
At IFGL, all environmental, health and safety policies are regularly upgraded, to rule out any probable risks to people, processes and/or the environment. Business objectives are properly balanced with social commitments, so that inclusive growth is facilitated.
From water recycling and waste management, to energy conservation and carbon footprint minimisation, IFGL strives to make all its activities uniformly eco-friendly. Our focus is squarely on maintaining the ‘greenness’ of the environment, that would usher in better tomorrows.
At regular intervals, special initiatives are conducted by IFGL to identify and resolve potential health & safety risks at the workplace. There are emergency support systems in place too, to handle all possible safety & security issues promptly and in the most effective manner.
Taking concrete steps to foster societal relationships and welfare features prominently on the IFGL roster. Through targeted programs, drives and surveys, we try to find out the exact requirements of people. Social development campaigns are framed accordingly.
“At IFGL, sustainable development goes beyond environmental conservation initiatives. Our focus is, and shall always be, on maintaining a seamless harmony between people, process, technology & the ecosystem.” – S.K. Bajoria
