In an endeavour to participate in building future of industry and future of economy through focus on Nature, People and Planet, Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Ltd., a subsidiary of Dalmia Bharat Limited has pledged support to Prince Charles, for the newly launched green initiative Terra Carta – a sustainable roadmap to 2030 for businesses to move towards an ambitious and sustainable future.
The Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Ltd will harness the power of Nature combined with the transformative power, innovation, and resources of the private sector.
The Terra Carta is based on a series of recommendations developed by a coalition of global business leaders in almost every sector. It will serve as the guiding mandate for the Sustainable Market Initiative (SMI) which will catalyse, showcase and celebrate progress along the way and over the next ten years.
Speaking on being part of the initiative, Mahendra Singhi, MD & CEO, Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Limited said, “We are proud to be a part of “Terra Carta” as we broadly have the same approach to that of Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI). We have been practicing and evangelising sustainable development and it has always been a way of life at Dalmia. We are globally ranked No 1 by CDP on business readiness for a low carbon economy transition. Our vast expertise and conscientious choices have enabled us to align our vision with the global metrics and standards such as Sustainable Development Goals and further on, we see ourselves becoming carbon negative cement group by 2040.”
