Projects That Matter: Environmental & Social Impact
Making a positive impact is at the heart of what we do. From converting animal waste into clean biogas to supporting communities during floods, these projects showcase our dedication to sustainable innovation and meaningful social responsibility.
Turning Waste into Power: Our Biogas Innovation
Every day, our broiler parent facilities generate significant amounts of organic waste; a mixture of droppings, uric acid, and spilled feed that traditionally creates serious environmental and health challenges. Left untreated, this waste attracts pests, produces unpleasant odors, and poses disposal problems that many farms struggle to solve.
We've transformed this challenge into an opportunity. Instead of allowing cage manure to accumulate, we've implemented an innovative waste-to-energy system that flushes the material to collection tanks every other day. This fresh waste is then transported to our biogas digester, where nature does the rest.
The results are remarkable: our facility produces approximately 500-600 cubic meters of biogas daily, which powers generators that produce 27,000 units of electricity each month. This clean, renewable energy runs our hatchery machines and feed mill operations.
Our commitment to biogas extends beyond the hatchery. At our rendering plants and meat processing facility, wastewater is collected and channeled into bio-waste digesters to produce additional biogas. This renewable energy operates the boilers for steam generation and powers the employee kitchen. We're continuing to expand our generator capacity at these locations to produce even more electricity, further reducing our reliance on grid power and lowering our carbon footprint across all operations.
No Waste Left Behind: Our Rendering Solution
Our two rendering plants tackle a critical environmental challenge: safely processing inedible poultry waste generated during chicken cleaning and processing. This includes heads, shanks, intestines, feathers, skin, and other byproducts that would otherwise pose serious disposal problems.
One of our facilities goes beyond processing our own waste—it collects poultry byproducts from retail shops in and around Chennai Metropolitan Area, Pondicherry, Krishnagiri, Hosur, and the outskirts of Bangalore. This extensive collection service plays a vital role in keeping these cities clean and protecting public health by preventing air, soil, and water pollution from decomposing organic waste.
Through our rendering process, collected waste is digested, cooked, and processed at high temperatures to ensure complete safety and hygiene. The end result is poultry byproduct meal—a valuable protein source used in the aquaculture feed industry. What would otherwise become an environmental hazard across multiple cities is transformed into a nutritious ingredient that supports sustainable fish farming, creating a win-win solution for waste management and food production.
Social Responsibility: Standing with Our Communities
Being a responsible corporate citizen means more than running a sustainable business—it means standing beside our communities when they need us most. Whether responding to natural disasters or addressing long-term infrastructure challenges, we believe in taking action that creates lasting positive change. Here are some of the ways we've supported our neighboring communities in times of need.
Reviving a Village's Lifeline:
When severe drought struck Krishnagiri District in 2019, Hanumanthapuram village residents approached our Managing Partner, Mr. Jeevandas Rai, to help desilt their 24-acre village lake—a critical water source choked with sediment.
After securing District Administration permission, we deployed two earth movers for 40 days in August-September 2019. The lake was completely desilted and its bunds strengthened. The impact was transformative: during the next rainy season, the lake filled to capacity and groundwater levels surged from 1,000 feet to 200 feet. Today, it remains a vital irrigation source for local farms.
Feeding Families Through the Floods: When devastating floods struck Thiruvallur District in 2016, we distributed food packets to affected families in villages around Mafuskhanpet for three days, utilizing 2 metric tons of rice and 1.5 metric tons of vegetables.
Restoring Water After Cyclone Vardha: Cyclone Vardha devastated Chennai's eastern coast in December 2016, leaving suburban families without power—and drinking water—for weeks. We transported generators village to village on tractors, operating motors and pumps to fill overhead tanks. We maintained uninterrupted drinking water supply to families in Pudukuppam, Mafuskhanpet, Mullavoil, and surrounding villages until power was restored.
