Net-zero operations by 2040
Achieve net-zero operational emissions across all group businesses through renewable energy, efficiency, and a phased decarbonisation roadmap overseen by our sustainability council.
Building responsibly, for generations yet to come
For Orrish Group, sustainability is not a recent obligation but an extension of a simple founding belief: that anything worth building should be built to last. Across infrastructure, finance, biotechnology, real estate, hospitality and trade, we try to make decisions that our grandchildren would recognise as fair.
For Orrish Group, sustainability is not a recent obligation but an extension of a simple founding belief: that anything worth building should be built to last. Across infrastructure, finance, biotechnology, real estate, hospitality and trade, we try to make decisions that our grandchildren would recognise as fair.
Our approach is practical rather than performative. We invest in cleaner energy where it makes sense, we use water carefully, we hold ourselves to honest governance, and we look after the people who build with us. Progress is measured, reported, and reviewed each year.
We do not claim to have solved every challenge. As a diversified, infrastructure-heavy group, our path to lower impact is genuinely hard. But we have set a clear direction, and we intend to keep walking it deliberately, year after year.
Our Impact
Progress we measure
0 Target year for net-zero operations Phased roadmap across all verticals
0 Community skilling centres operating Across rural Chhattisgarh
0+ Young people skilled each year Roughly half of them women
50% Freshwater-intensity reduction targeted Against a 2024 baseline
Our Pillars
Four commitments that guide us
Environment & Energy
We are expanding on-site solar generation and improving energy efficiency across our facilities and sites. Our aim is to lower emissions intensity steadily on the way to net-zero operations by 2040.
Communities
Through the Shivasha Foundation and local partnerships, we invest in skilling, education and health where we operate. We believe a business should leave its neighbourhood better than it found it.
Responsible Governance
Honest dealing, transparent pricing and disciplined risk-taking sit at the centre of how we run every company. Trust, once earned, is too valuable to gamble for short-term gain.
People & Safety
Everyone who works on an Orrish site or in an Orrish office deserves to go home safe and to be treated with dignity. We invest in training, safe systems of work, and a culture where speaking up is welcomed.
Our Goals
What we are working towards
Halve freshwater intensity
Cut freshwater use per unit of activity by 50 per cent against a 2024 baseline through recycling, rainwater harvesting, and tighter monitoring at our larger facilities.
Zero serious safety incidents
Drive toward zero fatalities and serious injuries across all sites and operations through safe systems of work, training, and a transparent incident-reporting culture.
Source locally and responsibly
Direct a growing share of procurement to local and regional suppliers who meet our environmental and labour standards, strengthening communities while reducing supply-chain impact.
Advance diversity at work
Raise the share of women across our workforce and leadership pipeline, with reserved seats in skilling cohorts and structured pathways into supervisory roles.
Uphold the highest ethics
Maintain zero tolerance for bribery and unfair dealing, with regular training, clear policies, and accessible grievance channels across every group company.
In Action
Initiatives underway
Rooftop solar across flagship sites
Installed solar generation at the Raipur hotel and several construction facilities, cutting grid dependence and demonstrating that clean energy can be commercially sensible at scale.
Water recycling and rainwater harvesting
Deployed treatment and reuse systems at key facilities, alongside rainwater-harvesting structures, to reduce freshwater draw in a region where water security matters deeply.
Community tree-plantation drives
Carried out plantation programmes with local participation through the Shivasha Foundation, with multi-year survival monitoring rather than one-day photo opportunities.
Vocational skilling centres
Expanded rural skilling centres training over two thousand young people a year in trades, healthcare support and digital literacy, with strong placement linkages.
Group-wide sustainability council
Established a cross-vertical council to oversee the 2040 roadmap, embed impact assessment into large capital decisions, and publish annual progress to keep us accountable.
