22. GREEN INITIATIVES:

Prestige with a strong focus on sustainable development has placed an EV-charging in the premises of the Company to promote the usage of electric vehicles and reduce the emissions of pollutants caused due to gasoline vehicles.

The Company sorts all its waste based on its characteristics, categorizing it into hazardous, nonhazardous, biodegradable, and non-biodegradable types. The hazardous waste, mainly consisting of waste oil from diesel generator sets, as well as paint and varnish remnants, is responsibly disposed of through authorized third-party vendors, following the regulations of the State Pollution Control Board.

For biodegradable waste, we adopt an eco-friendly approach by converting it into organic manure, which we then use for landscaping at our operational sites. This practice not only prevents the biodegradable waste from ending up in landfills but also significantly reduces the release of fugitive methane emissions.

The Company has implemented the usage of solar power through wheeling energy for electricity consumption. The Company is also issuing electronic copies of the Annual Report 2023 and Notice of the Twenty-Sixth Annual General Meeting ("AGM”) to all the members whose email address is registered with the Company/Depository participant(s).
