Our holistic approach in HSE areas demonstrates positive progress across the SDG goals on environmental indicators. With changing market dynamics amongst the uncertainties that loomed over the world post-pandemic, we had our share of challenges in meeting these targets. We report minor progress on two of the SDG goals. An increase in production capacities, development of complex molecules, infrastructure expansions, and enhancing capabilities on several initiatives made it challenging to achieve the reduction in water consumption target. We are in the process of reviewing our goals and targets that are yet to be attained and shall re-commit our resources to meet the revised targets. We believe it is our ongoing responsibility to be transparent to our stakeholders about the progress we are making toward achieving these goals. We shall be revisiting the Sustainability framework with continued commitment. We are encouraged that our focus and thrust on making sustainability our way of working is paying off. The awards in multiple areas of sustainability are proof of our continuing pursuits. In the reporting year, we were recognized for our sustainability efforts which shows our commitment and earns the confidence and trust of our key stakeholders.

We use Strategy Deployment Process to translate breakthrough long-term performance goals into short- and medium-term goals. With this approach, we identify critical processes, capabilities and infrastructure that need to be upgraded to create sustainable improvement in performance. These improvements are measured through lead indicators that give us an insight into how sustainable improvements fuel breakthrough performance improvement. Sauri Gudlavalleti Chief Operating Officer
