 in best-in-class sustainable building design and infrastructure practices coupled with the continued expansion of our renewable energy footprint which currently stands at 83% for all our owned facilities. We plan to vigorously scale this up in the next few years through appropriate investments.
Our plan is to reach 100% renewable energy use at our Indian facilities before 2030. Simultaneously, we expect to achieve proportionate reductions in the carbon footprint associated with our business travel, employee commuting and supply chain.
ii.Responsible stewardship of scarce water resources: We are committed to responsibly managing the use of scarce water resources by (a) improving our per capita freshwater efficiency by 60% from 150 liters per capita per day ("Lpcd") in 2023 to 60 Lpcd in 2030, (b) increasing the proportion of recycled water use to 60% by 2030 and (c) contributing to a deeper understanding of the systemic challenges of urban water in the major cities in which we operate.

Our water consumption is primarily on account of drinking water, air conditioning, cooking and washing in canteens, toilets and landscape gardening. Our approach to reduce dependence on freshwater has been through increased wastewater recycling, minimizing pipe losses and expanding rainwater harvesting.

Our freshwater efficiency for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 stood at 110 Lpcd, representing a 26% improvement in the last two years. Our freshwater efficiency was in part due to recycling and reusing 31% of treated wastewater.

iii.Minimize waste generation from operations and its impact on communities: We are committed to ensuring 100% of organic waste is recycled and to ensure that less than 2% goes to landfills (excluding construction and demolition waste) by 2025. During the year ended March 31, 2025, we sent around 1% of our waste to landfills. We continue to maintain the highest standards of solid waste management in all the four categories: food and organic, inorganic, hazardous materials and construction debris. We ensure reuse and certify recycling for between 98%-100% of all our waste.
iv.Enhance the biodiversity quotient of owned campuses: We are committed to incorporating biodiversity as a key element in the design and maintenance of all our owned campuses. In addition to our flagship biodiversity campuses in Bengaluru and Pune, all our new campuses have incorporated biodiversity principles. In Hyderabad, around eight acres has been developed into a mini-forest, housing nearly 128 different species, with plans to expand it
