Water as Shared Resource
At KNPL, we understand our responsibility and set stringent water management goals. Owing to the nature of our industry, we consume water not only for our utilities, cleaning, horticulture and domestic purpose, but it is also a critical raw material for our water-based paints.
As a responsible corporate citizen, we have continued our efforts to offset our freshwater consumption and help nearby communities by providing access to quality fresh water. We undertake offsite watershed management projects like pond restoration, deepening and desilting of water bodies among others. These projects help us to stay in tune with our strategic long-term commitment of becoming Water positive organization
Water Withdrawal
 |
Our freshwater requirement is met through - groundwater, State Industrial Development Corporation (SIDC) water supply and third-party water supply.
Water Discharge
We have ZLD across our major manufacturing facilities. Our total wastewater discharge for the reporting period was 1045 KL from our newly merged facilities.
Water Consumption
Our organization-wide total water consumption for the reporting period was 5,75,470 KL, of which 15,512 KL was rainwater while 1,34,814 KL was recycled water.
Our organization-wide Specific Water Consumption (SWC) was 1.18 KL/ KL of FG while the same for our manufacturing facilities accounted for 1.17 KL/KL of FG.
Our recycled water consumption is 23% of the total water consumption for reporting year 2023-2024.
Our Specific Water Consumption (Manufacturing Facilities) has decreased by 26% since FY 2018-19
 |
Method of Calculation: Manufacturing Facilities - Specific Water Consumption is ratio Of Fresh Water Consumed in Plants to Production of Finished Goods during a specified period.
Organization-wide - Specific Water Consumption is ratio of Fresh Water Consumed Organization-Wide (Plants + R&D centre + Head Office) to Production of Finished Goods during a specified period.
Thrust Areas: To reduce Water Consumption
- Diligent monitoring of freshwater consumed
- Adoption of sustainable water management measures to limit our water footprint
- Increase usage of recycled water and rainwater through water management projects and initiatives within our operational limits
- Periodic review of water-related risks
- Water restoration- Water replenishment through watershed development projects in the areas we operate in under CSR.
Key Water Conservation Initiatives
- Internal water audit practice to identify areas of improvement.
- Process condensate collection and reuse.
- Conserving water by recycling and reusing water
- Reducing Specific Water Consumption (SWC) by minimising freshwater consumption
- Increasing the use of rainwater in the process
- Ensuring Zero Liquid Discharge
- Utilising rainwater
- Increasing water replenishment projects for sustaining water positive status
