RSWM Ltd, a leading textiles and yarn manufacturer from the LNJ Bhilwara Group, on Tuesday released its FY25 Sustainability Report, outlining progress in renewable energy adoption, water recycling, and resource efficiency. The report highlights the company’s commitment to responsible growth in line with global ESG standards.
Green Power Push
RSWM said that renewable energy now accounts for 36% of its total power consumption, up from 29% in FY24. The increase was driven by:
- Expansion of solar and wind energy projects across Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.
- Installation of rooftop solar panels at multiple spinning units.
- Purchase of green power under state open-access schemes.
The company has set a medium-term target to cross 50% renewable share by FY28, aligning with India’s national goal of 500 GW renewable capacity by 2030.
Water & Recycling Gains
- Water Recycling: Over 1.2 billion liters of water were treated and reused across units in FY25, a 15% rise year-on-year.
- Waste Recycling: Nearly 92% of solid waste generated was recycled or co-processed, reducing landfill burden.
- Effluent Management: All major plants are equipped with zero-liquid discharge (ZLD) systems.
The company noted that efficient use of natural resources is critical for the textiles sector, which faces scrutiny over its environmental footprint.
Governance & Social Metrics
The report also covered progress on governance and community impact:
- Diversity: Women now make up 18% of the workforce, with efforts ongoing to expand representation.
- Community Programs: Investments in education and healthcare in the Bhilwara region benefited over 50,000 people in FY25.
- Safety: The company reported a reduction in accident frequency rate, citing improved training and automation in operations.
Management Commentary
Mr. Riju Jhunjhunwala, CMD of RSWM Ltd, said:
“Sustainability is not just compliance for us; it is a business imperative. With greater reliance on renewables, higher recycling rates, and strong community initiatives, we are aligning RSWM with both global benchmarks and India’s net-zero roadmap.”
Market Context
RSWM shares traded flat at ₹276 on the BSE after the announcement. Analysts noted that while ESG disclosures do not immediately move stock prices, they help in attracting long-term institutional investors focused on sustainable portfolios.
Brokerages also flagged that textile exporters face increasing ESG compliance requirements from buyers in Europe and North America. RSWM’s progress may enhance its competitiveness in global supply chains.
Outlook
- RSWM aims to publish assurance-based ESG reports in future to increase credibility.
- Targets include 50% renewable energy mix by FY28 and further reduction in carbon intensity.
- Analysts suggest that continued investment in clean energy and resource efficiency will help the company balance profitability with sustainability goals.
