As per Investopedia, “Sustainability” has three main pillars: economic, environmental, and social. These three pillars are informally referred to as People, Planet, and Profits. Reducing the carbon footprint by reducing the energy being generated from fossil fuels, will help in a cleaner & healthier environment for the community. This project over thirty years will generate a significant carbon footprint reduction by 53,190 MT of carbon dioxide. Further over the project life cycle of 30 years there will be a savings of USD 3.3M & thereby higher profits for the stakeholder. The higher profits would lead to improved compensation for the staff. Thus the project will benefit all the three pillars of People, Planet, and Profits. Balexco will adapt and improve its production process to be more energy efficient and this will help it stay abreast in today’s dynamic competitive environment.
