ENERGY AND EMISSIONS
L&T's business operations are powered primarily by diesel and electricity. Diesel is used for powering construction machinery used for EPC projects and in a few locations in Power Generator sets for electricity generation. Electricity is used across offices, manufacturing facilities and in other equipment. These energy sources drive the carbon footprint of L&T.
Energy Efficiency
L&T offers a bouquet of sustainabile solutions which helps its customers go green. These solutions covered under are Green Business.
DECARBONISATION
We have been taking steps consistently towards decarbonisation, resource efficiency, biodiversity protection, sustainable supply chain.
Carbon Offsets
Waste management is a material topic and a key focus area for L&T due to the volume and type of material used in EPC projects and manufacturing.

WATER
L&T's water footprint is driven by consumption in EPC Projects execution, primarily due to the use of water in civil works. The consumption pattern is determined by the type of structures or works and technical specifications of such works. We are focusing on reducing water consumption as well as reducing freshwater withdrawal.
CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Execution of EPC Projects in Infrastructure projects typically entails significant consumption of natural resources as well as manufactured products from natural sources. L&T is trying to reduce resource consumption by adopting sustainable materials. Other lever to achieve this is recycling or reuse of waste generated in business processes.
Sustainable Materials
Fly ash, GGBS and Manufactured sand is used to replace cement, aggregates, and natural sand. This not only helps in reusing waste materials from other industries but also helps in reducing the embodied carbon in materials used for constructing any infrastructure asset.
Biodiversity
Trees are not only natural carbon sinks but also have other environmental benefits e.g., water retention, slowing down topsoil erosion, lowering air pollution etc. At L&T, we have been undertaking sapling plantation wherever we have significant presence.
GREEN BUSINESS
We are not only taking efforts to reduce our own environment footprint but we are also helping our customers create sustainable and green assets. L&T’s offers a bouquet, termed ‘Green Business’, centered around clean energy, clean mobility, water and sanitation, green infrastructure, and other areas linked to a greener future.
3rd Globally in ENR's Top 200 Environmental Firms
L&T's green commitment has also been acknowledged globally by ENR, a globally recognized construction industry publication. L&T has maintained 3rd rank for three consecutive years (2022-2024) in the Top 200 Environment Firms Survey by ENR.
INNOVATION
A key lever in our journey to decarbonizing and creating a better world is innovation, driven through R&D efforts, digitalization, sustainable design, and operational improvements.
Technology For Sustainable Growth
L&T’s focus areas for innovation are driven by the impetus to reduce material consumption, increase the use of non-virgin and eco-friendly materials, enhance resource (manpower, machine) productivity, reduce delivery timelines, strengthen climate resilience of structures, and improve product design/features.
