800 acres of land, procured in 1965, was a barren landscape of hard basalt rock

A 300 meter long stone masonry dam was constructed to impound rain water from surrounding catchments

The lake gave the resources to commence greening of the landscape

Today the ‘Green Belt’ includes approximately 5million trees planted within its premises.

Lakes and ponds cover 85 acres, while surrounding tree plantation is spread over 152 acres.

Thousands of migratory birds visit the lakes between October and February every year

Pisciculture: Thriving fish population being culled from lakes.

Adoption of Structured sustainability strategy

Is it required only for new start ups?

Is it required only for company’s in public scrutiny?

Is it required only for company raising funds?

◦ Or is it just the right thing to do?

IMFA is the largest producer of Ferro Alloys in India almost 5 decades.

Its other main activities are mining and power generation although both are only for captive purposes.

IMFA’s operations are certified to international standards ISO 9000,ISO 14001 & OHSAS 18001

IMFA also has multi faceted CSR operations

So why integration of Sustainability with Business

IMFA exports 90% of its product and is setting up operations overseas, so global image is important.

IMFA operates in remote areas, thus community development projects are imperative.

Mining and Power demand Environmental initiatives Manufacturing industries depend on government approvals,

so it’s imperative for IMFA to stay ahead of the legislation

In order to be “Responsible Sustainable Entity”, IMFA must make sustainability a core part of it’s business strategy, thus “Integrate Sustainability with Business Practice”
