BIAC’s commitment towards environmental sustainability recognises the multifaceted nature of the actions required to ensure a sustainable future, and identifies three pillars—air, water, and earth. Around 50 per cent of the park’s annual water consumption is met sustainably through rainwater harvesting ponds and it is the first industry in the state to have installed a Solar Sludge Drying Process unit; BIAC is a zero-landfill apparel park. The park aims to reach net-zero emissions by 2030 through continuous investment in clean energy, optimising overall energy consumption, and creating carbon sinks in the form of plantations.

“Receiving the Environmental Excellence Award is a significant milestone for BIAC. This recognition is a testimony to our ongoing commitments to sustainable practices and inspires us to continue pushing boundaries for a greener and more sustainable future,” said Neil Rosayro, country head, Brandix India.
