Cleaner Processes
Every raw material and chemical is thoroughly evaluated
for its environmental impact before it is introduced into our
production process.
Over the last few years, Hero MotoCorp has proactively eliminated the use of harmful substance like
- Asbestos
- Hexavalent Chromium
- Phenolic Substances
Green Supply Chain
The process of sustainable development is incomplete
without involving the company's supply chain. Hence Hero MotoCorp has
therefore put together a "Green Dealer Development Program" for the
front end and a "Green Vendor Development Program" for the backend of
the supply chain.
In each of these programs, the partners' are made aware
of the importance of caring for the environment and are encouraged to
manage their material resources, industrial wastes, energy resource,
pollution and other effluents based on a number of pre-determined
parameters.
Hero MotoCorp supports all its partners in the Green Supply Chain venture by :
- Developing required competencies
- Sharing knowledge
- Providing technical support
Through this program Hero MotoCorp aims to generate
sufficient momentum within the industry, and looks forward to the day
when the entire automotive industry is made up on a seamless green
chain.
Scarce Resources
Based in Haryana, one of India's driest states; Hero
MotoCorp has introduced Rainwater Harvesting at both its plants in
Dharuhera and Gurgaon.
Across both plants, 16 rainwater harvesting
catchments have been set up covering a total area of more than 31540 sq
mts. In a single year we managed to 18 million litres of water.
One of India's most well known civil society
organizations - the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) has adapted
Hero MotoCorp's rainwater harvesting project as a model project for
enhancing public awareness.
The Centre also regularly monitors the performance of the system to check ground water level and the
water quality.

We Care For Environment
GREEN TECHNOLOGY:
Constant adoption of innovative green practices has
resulted in the introduction of a special Acrylic Cathodic Electro
Deposition (ACED) painting process for the frame body. This new process
results in 99 per cent paint transfer efficiency and minimizes
effluents. The water soluble paint used is environment friendly and
delivers better quality and productivity.
GREEN ROOF:
The Green Roof was one of the major environment
friendly initiatives. Besides Restoring ecological and aesthetic value,
It helps in substantial amount of energy saving by moderating
temperature of roof and surrounding areas. It also helps in reducing
storm water runoff volume and peak flow rate, and increases the service
life of water proofing membrane. Starting Monitoring of power
consumption trend also.
