Renewable Energy
We are increasing the role of renewable energy across our campus through on-site solar power. Our 350 kW solar installation currently supplies approximately one-third of our electricity requirements. We are continuing to expand the use of renewable energy, with a goal of meeting 60% of our requirements through renewable sources.
Electric Mobility
We have incorporated cleaner mobility into our day-to-day activities. Low-speed electric vehicles handle daily material transport across our 36-acre campus, while reducing reliance on fossil fuels. These mdi-branded e-rickshaws ensure our internal supply chain is as sustainable as the solutions we manufacture.
Water Conservation and Reuse
We are committed to using water responsibly. We aim to reduce unnecessary consumption and reuse water wherever possible. Grey water from our sewage treatment system is reused for gardening and landscaping, providing an additional source of water for plants and green spaces and reducing the need for freshwater for these activities. We also redirect water for suitable non-potable uses.
Rainwater Harvesting
Rainwater harvesting complements our water reuse efforts. Rainwater collected across the campus is directed into the ground to support groundwater recharge and replenish the water table. This productive use of rainwater supports responsible water management over the longer term.
Green Campus and Sustainable Farming
MDI maintains dedicated agricultural land across its campus for sustainable farming, supporting responsible land use and a greener campus environment.
Digitalization and Paper Reduction
We are committed to move towards a more digital and paperless workplace Our internally developed digital management system supports internal communication, documentation and other processes, helping reduce paperwork and streamline how information is managed.
Responsible Use of Energy and Resources
We encourage the responsible use of electricity, water and other resources across our facilities, including managing energy consumption during non-productive hours and avoiding unnecessary use.
Creating Social Impact
Our commitment to responsible ownership extends beyond our environmental practices. Through our CSR initiatives, we support education, healthcare, social awareness and the preservation of cultural heritage. These efforts reflect our belief that sustainable progress is not only about how we use resources, but also about how we contribute to the people and communities around us.
