UK at its core is very much a social enterprise – its business and processes are designed to serve the social cause of building the Nation of our dreams.Sustainable business practices are therefore very important for us. In the past few years, we have been working towards developing robust systems which have helped us adopt a proactive approach towards making the business sustainable and socially relevant.

The first step, in this direction, was taken up by setting up the Environment Management Division (EMD) and the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) divisions. These divisions now operate across all our units with dedicated personal equipped with the specific skill sets. This was followed up by setting up Climate change and sustainability department. This department was, later, renamed to Sustainability Division with the aim of focusing on holistic sustainability avenues and aligning sustainability with the core strategy of the organization. This was marked by the appointment of company’s Chief Sustainability Officer to ensure that UK is on a trajectory of authentic and holistic growth.

In order to reaffirm our promise of balanced and inclusive growth, With the aim of manufacturing products at lower costs and reduced impact on environment and society, we have pioneered on bringing ground-breaking technologies for the first time in India and also innovative initiatives including enhanced operational efficiencies, greater cost optimization and new product applications. The key innovations in the company have been profiled in detail in the 'Innovation and Technology Leadership' section of this website.

We are also focused on utilizing our waste by:-

1. Reducing the waste generation by developing more efficient systems,
2. Developing and promoting use of waste through new applications such as road
3. Municipal solid waste processing to usable forms such as methane etc.

Today, UK views sustainability aspects not in silos but has been working towards integrating it throughout our operations. It is unique model of ensuring sustainability and social commitment right at the core of our business ethos, processes, and products.
