Aequs strictly complies with the legal standards and pledges commitment to utilizing energy-saving equipment and advanced technology. Committed to reduce dependence on non-renewable energy resources
| Initiative Undertaken | Details | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Solar rooftop panels | To commission 2000 KW capacity over 20,255 sq m rooftop area, with expansion plans. | Augments renewable energy adoption, cutting fossil fuel reliance. |
| Compressed air optimization | Intelligent flow controllers, additional compressors for low-pressure loads, zero air-loss moisture traps. | Enhances efficiency, reduces energy waste in operations. |
| Motor replacements, upgrades | Upgrading AHU units, Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) for AHU units, compressors, and motors with higher efficiency models. | Lowers power consumption, supports non-renewable reduction goals. |
| Daylight illumination, LED replacements, solar | Incorporated daylight mechanisms and roof ventilators in all machining facilities. Opted to switch out CFLs for LEDs and invested in solar illumination and solar-charged fencing. | This has resulted in annual savings of more than 3 lakh rupees and a decrease in consumption of around 3 lakhs. |

Guided by their Environment Policy, aim to reduce impact on water consumption and continuously attempt to improve efficiency. Introduced several projects utilizing various technologies towards this objective such as Zero Liquid Discharge, rainwater harvesting, wastewater recycling and sensor based taps to save water.
| Initiative Undertaken | Detail | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Zero Liquid Discharge | Installed Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) technology | Reduces water consumption by 70-80%, achieves full ZLD compliance, and maximizes recycling for operational sustainability. |
| Recycling of wastewater for flushing and landscaping | Treating average 22,032.50 m³ domestic wastewater monthly, reusing 1,091.10 m³ as flush water; targeting 78% reuse by end-2023. | Reduces raw water use by 59% for non-process needs, promotes conservation, and enhances sustainable water management. |
| Rainwater Harvesting with reservoir ponds | Three ponds (Pond 1: 2939 m³, Pond 2: 228 m³, Pond 3: 9990 m³) with total capacity 13,157 m³ over 100-acre catchment; estimated 270,279 m³ annual rainwater from 668.12 mm average rainfall. | Supports groundwater recharge and gardening across campus, enhancing water sustainability. |
Dedicated to consistently enhancing waste management techniques at manufacturing facilities. They dispose of waste as per the regulatory requirements and manage waste as mentioned.
| Initiative Undertaken | Detail | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Recycling of aluminium, titanium & steel scrap | All scrap sent to recycling units for material recovery; nearly 1.216 metric tons recycled since April 2022 from titanium, aluminum, and steel waste. | Promotes circular economy, reduces landfill waste, recovers valuable metals, and lowers environmental impact through resource reuse. |
| Biogas digester installation in canteen | 200 kg/day capacity digester processes 60-70 kg average daily food waste, generating 12-14 m³ biogas used for cooking. | Saves considerable LPG annually, diverts organic waste from landfills, and supports circular waste-to-energy practices. |
| Adherence to waste management rules | Avoiding plastics under 50 microns, uses special procedures for disposing medical waste from the OHC by type, employs biodegradable garbage bags for waste, and implements a 5R process (Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle) | Legal compliance and reduction of waste generation |
