Climate Action: Toward a Low-Carbon Future
At Kaynes, climate action is a shared responsibility and a strategic business priority. Recognizing the global urgency to combat climate change, we have developed a three-pillar strategy to accelerate decarbonization and energy resilience:
Transitioning to Green Energy
Enhancing Energy Efficiency
Reducing Supply Chain Emissions
This holistic approach ensures that climate considerations are integrated into every operational and strategic decision—positioning Kaynes as a future-ready leader in sustainable electronics manufacturing.
Energy Transition: Shifting to Green Power
We are transforming our energy portfolio to increase the share of renewable energy across our facilities.
Wind Power
Two wind turbines at our Hanumasagar facility have generated over 2.25 million kWh of clean energy (Aug 2024 – June 2025), directly offsetting fossil fuel use.
Solar Expansion
A 3 MW solar PV installation is being commissioned across key manufacturing sites to further reduce carbon intensity.
Carbon Accounting
Continuous tracking of Scope 1 and 2 emissions helps measure progress, identify reduction opportunities, and ensure transparency under BRSR and GRI frameworks.
Our renewable energy transition not only reduces our environmental footprint but also enhances long-term energy security and resilience.
Enhancing Energy Efficiency
Data-Driven Energy Management
We employ a systematic, audit-based approach to identify and eliminate energy inefficiencies:
Regular energy audits by certified experts.
IIoT-based monitoring systems providing real-time visibility into energy use.
KPI tracking at the facility level to ensure accountability and progress.
Technological Upgrades for Efficiency
Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)
Installed across motors, compressors, and HVAC systems to optimize power use.
Automation & Robotics
Enhances precision, minimizes idle time, and reduces rework.
LED Lighting
100% conversion to LEDs has cut lighting energy use by 30%.
Optimized HVAC & Compressed Air Systems
Demand-based control ensures optimal efficiency.
Power Factor Improvement
Continuous monitoring keeps power factor near unity, minimizing losses.
Process Optimization & Behavioral Change
We drive a culture of continuous improvement through:
6S and Kaizen practices for efficient workspace management.
Shutdown and idle-load management SOPs.
Employee awareness programs promoting responsible energy use.
Preventive maintenance ensuring systems run at peak performance.
