ENERGY EFFICIENCY
L&T Valves secures coveted certification
The Kancheepuram facility of L&T Valves was certified to comply with the requirements of ISO 50001:2018 Energy Management System. Received in July, this is L&T Valves’ sixth Management System Certification. It underpins the company’s commitment to sustainable manufacturing, energy efficiency and operational excellence.
L&T Valves had established and implemented a comprehensive energy policy, documented energy management procedures and defined measurable energy objectives and targets focused on continual improvement in energy performance. Further, significant energy uses were systematically identified, energy consumption patterns were monitored, energy performance indicators were established and initiatives to optimise energy utilisation were launched.
A decisive step towards energy efficiency was the setting up of an 800 kW rooftop solar power plant that was inaugurated by R Shankar Raman (President & Whole-Time Director - Finance, L&T) last September.
The certification strengthens L&T Valves’ sustainability credentials and demonstrates its commitment to responsible growth, regulatory compliance, environmental stewardship and global competitiveness through continual improvement of its energy management practices.
