New Delhi: MG Motor India, a British automobile brand, Tuesday said that in collaboration with CleanMax, Asia’s trusted sustainability partner, 50% of the energy required for its manufacturing operations is from renewable resources.
MG Motor India has secured a green energy capacity of 4.5 MW. For the next 15 years, the Halol facility will continue to draw power from CleanMax’s hybrid park in Rajkot, ensuring a reliable and sustainable energy source, the company said.
MG Motor India’s pledge to reduce CO2 emissions by nearly 2 lakh tonnes over the course of 15 years is equivalent to the positive environmental impact of planting over 13 lakh trees. The brand has already witnessed 36% decrease in CO2 emissions, with levels dropping from 0.59 tonnes in 2022 to 0.38 tonnes in the first quarter of 2023.
This reduction in emissions has resulted in a significant decrease of 2251 tonnes in MG Motor India’s carbon footprint in the first quarter of this year. Projections indicate that this downward trend will continue, with an estimated carbon footprint reduction of 11889 MT by the end of this year. These numbers reflect the brand’s unwavering commitment to sustainability and its resolute dedication to transitioning from carbon neutrality to achieving net zero emissions across both its operations and supply chain, the company said.
