Water withdrawal fell from 650,486 KL to 563,826 KL. Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions combined totaled 483,857 metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent, up from 407,167 metric tonnes in the prior year. Total waste generated dropped significantly from 32,431 metric tonnes to 14,892 metric tonnes.

What the Numbers Show

Waste recovery operations accounted for 12,823.19 metric tonnes out of 14,892.10 metric tonnes generated in FY26. This indicates a high circularity rate within the manufacturing process, driven largely by the recycling and reuse of glass cullet and other materials.
