HERE’S WHAT’S HAPPENING
SWASTH GHAR IMPROVED COOKSTOVE PROJECT
Through this initiative, our aim is to promote the use of more efficient and cleaner cooking technologies. The improved cookstoves curb firewood consumption, leading to a significant reduction in indoor air pollution and CO2 emissions. By distributing 4,000 improved cookstoves, our goal is to significantly reduce CO2 emissions across 50 villages in Rajasthan. Together, let’s envision a world where every action contributes to a better planet and a better life for present and future generations.
OUR FOCUS AREAS
By integrating a robust sustainability agenda into all our endeavours, we strive to create a lasting change that not only safeguards the environment but also enhances the quality of life for all. We are actively working on Carbon Offset projects and tree plantation interventions through employee volunteering and NGO partners.

EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES THROUGH SOLAR ELECTRIFICATION
In alignment with our focus to prioritize initiatives that positively impact the planet and uplift communities, Bajaj Electricals Ltd. is inclined towards providing clean energy-based solutions to communities to enable sustainable rural development in identified regions.Through our ‘Empowering Himalayan Communities Program’, we implemented a holistic development model for rural un-electrified communities, by setting up solar microgrids to provide clean energy access. This project was implemented across 15 households in Pans village, located in Lamayuru region of Ladakh. Through this, we eliminated 1,800 tons of carbon from the environment. We also provided access to ‘Digital Education’ to Bharti Vidya Niketan School in Abran village, Zanskar, benefiting 65 students from the community. Our primary objective was to implement the solution in a sustainable, scalable and environmentally beneficial manner, leading to an overall development of the community whilst empowering the local village population.
GREEN INDIA CAMPAIGN
Through the ‘Green India’ campaign, our aim is to create a significant impact in both environmental conservation and supporting local communities by increasing green cover in the locations we are present. Tree plantation has always been an integral part of our environmental initiatives which are rolled out either through partnerships with NGOs or our Employee Volunteering Program. We engage our employees in impactful tree planting initiatives that foster teamwork, environmental awareness, and corporate responsibility. We have planted 1 lakh+ trees over the last three years across initiatives such as urban forestation, plantation of fruit bearing trees to help local farmers increase their source of income, etc. Through our projects under tree plantation, we strive to create an impact on carbon sequestration, restoring forests, upgrading water catchment areas and providing a source of livelihood to local communities.
