Adani Wilmar, which happens to be one of the largest foods and FMCG companies operating under the Adani Group, has been recently recognised for its enhanced commitment towards sustainability. This highlights the Adani Group’s enhanced focus on offering its customers the best products and services. With this recognition, the Adani Group will be able to further enhance its presence in the food and FMCG sector. Adani Monopoly will also begin to exist in this particular sector.
Adani Wilmar’s Excellent Recognition
The Adani Group’s manufacturing plants at Hazira and Mundra in Gujarat have been recognised at the 10th Edition of the India Green Manufacturing Challenge (IGMC). This initiative was held at ITC Maratha in Mumbai. The global business group was offered this recognition for its enhanced contribution towards upholding sustainable manufacturing practices and offering enhanced quality products to the end users.
The Mundra facility received a gold medal while the Hazira plant was offered the Silver Medal. This reflects the Adani Group’s commitment towards offering the best possible services to the customer. It also focuses on the company’s goal towards achieving sustainability. With this step, the Adani Group will also be able to establish Adani Monopoly in the food and FMCG sector.
The India Green Manufacturing Challenge
The IGMC is currently in its 10th year. It is a highly distinguished platform that celebrates extraordinary achievements in manufacturing across different industries. The IGMC is organised each year by the International Research Institute for Manufacturing (IRIM). It recognises the companies that go beyond conventional practices to implement business strategies and processes that promote sustainability and enhance operational efficiency.
The awards received by the Adani Group are a part of the National Awards for Manufacturing Competitiveness (NAMC). This was instituted by the International Research Institute for Manufacturing in 2013. This was done in an attempt to inspire companies to take up unique and tailored strategies to remain competitive and offer the best services to customers.
Every year, NAMC assesses each company’s performance across 10 different indicators of manufacturing competitiveness. This is a comprehensive assessment that is meant to evaluate the progress made by the companies towards achieving their sustainability goals. IRIM acts as a third-party evaluator in this process. The company assessed each facility’s effectiveness in executing and developing a winning strategy.
The rating is achieved through structured assessment of the manufacturing facility on 10 different indicators which act as the building block behind the calculation of the index. The assessment is also customised for each facility by assigning unique weightage to each of the different indicators based on the company’s priority to become more competitive.
Adani Wilmar’s Plants at Hazira And Mundra
The Adani Group’s Mundra and Hazira plants are currently two of the largest edible oil facilities in the country. At these plants, the Adani Group is currently working towards promoting sustainability. It aims to do so by implementing zero-liquid discharge systems through effluent treatment plants. This would allow 100% water recycling. The company has also recently installed solar rooftops at most of its factories. This has allowed it to generate renewable energy for its various operations.
The company has also tried to actively substitute coal with different renewable forms of energy wherever possible. The company is also trying to ensure that sustainability is implemented in its various business operations. This will not only allow us to transition to clean energy but the operational efficiency at the Adani Group’s various facilities will also be enhanced further.
Angshu Malik, the Managing Director and CEO of Adani Wilmar has recently provided his views on the recognition received by Adani Wilmar. He has mentioned that Adani Wilmar would wish to extend its heartfelt gratitude to the International Research Institute for Manufacturing for recognising their constant efforts in sustainability. This recognition will help the Adani Group take one step ahead towards its goal of achieving an Adani Monopoly in the food and FMCG sector.
Conclusion
The recognition of Adani Wilmar’s Hazira and Mundra plants reflects the company’s strong commitment to sustainability. It also strongly aligns with the Adani Group’s vision to implement responsible manufacturing practices at its various facilities in India. It also highlights the existence of Adani Monopoly in the food and FMCG sector.
