Bisleri International, a leading beverage company, has partnered with Schneider Electric’s Sustainability Business to enhance energy efficiency and promote the use of renewable energy. This move is part of Bisleri’s commitment to sustainability, as outlined in its “Greener Promise” initiative.
The partnership aims to install up to 13.6 MW of solar power at six major Bisleri plants across India, which will increase the company’s use of renewable energy to 33% and reduce energy consumption by 2.5%. This will result in a reduction of approximately 16,000 tons of carbon emissions per year, a significant step towards a sustainable future.
Bisleri’s CEO, Angelo George, emphasized the company’s commitment to sustainable solutions and the economic benefits of renewable energy. Deepak Sharma, Zone President of Schneider Electric India, highlighted the importance of reducing the environmental footprint of businesses and shared the company’s expertise in enabling energy efficiency across sectors.
The partnership builds on Bisleri’s existing efforts to reduce its carbon footprint, including the deployment of rooftop solar panels and lightweighting of PET bottles. The company has also set a goal to recycle plastic, conserve water, and replenish natural resources.
With a legacy of over 54 years, Bisleri International is one of the largest premium beverage companies in India, with a strong presence across the country and neighboring countries. The company is committed to providing high-quality products through its range of beverages, including Mineral Water, Himalayan Spring Water, and carbonated drinks.
