Water

Water management has been a high-priority area for Galaxy Surfactants. We are continuously monitoring and mapping water consumption at our locations. We are making conscious efforts to reduce water withdrawal intensity. Some of the key interventions and projects on water conservation are driven by cross-functional teams to reduce the water demand while manufacturing finished goods by designing better manufacturing processes.

Most of our operations sites are in India. We foresee long-term water availability is a challenge, and we are addressing this issue by conserving water within fences through Rainwater harvesting, Zero-Liquid-Discharge and outside the fence through CSR activities. We are aiming to create a scenario for self-sufficiency in water and its associated risks, mapping various factors and considerations. This approach has helped us in prioritization actions and being water-positive 1.4 times for 2022-23 as per our internal calculations.

We provide clear and thorough water reporting. We once again gave extensive responses to the non-profit group CDP's 2023 water security survey. Galaxy was awarded management status after receiving a B in the final evaluation. CDP assesses how organizations report on their water management efforts and how they mitigate risks such as water shortages.
