The global shift toward sustainable industrial practices has never been more critical. As resources become more scarce, the agro-processing sector must find innovative ways to reduce its carbon footprint while meeting the world's nutritional needs. At Halder Venture Limited, we believe that success goes beyond financial performance and includes the footprint we leave on our planet.

As we look towards the future of the agro-processing industry, we recognise that sustainability is no longer an option; it is a responsibility. Our mission of growing goodness starts within the walls of our facilities, where we have successfully transformed our operations into a green factory model, now powering 85% of our oil extraction process through renewable energy.

Integrating solar power into our operations.

The shift to a cleaner future began with a fundamental rethink of our energy consumption. Energy is the lifeblood of oil extraction, but traditional sources come with a high environmental cost. To address this, we have invested in solar energy infrastructure across our manufacturing units.

By harnessing the power of the sun, we are significantly reducing our carbon emissions and decreasing our reliance on the grid. This transition is not just about being eco-friendly; it is about building a resilient, self-sustaining energy model that ensures we can continue to provide high-quality edible oils for generations to come.

A holistic approach to ESG.

Our green factory initiative is a core pillar of our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy. We understand that true sustainability requires a 360-degree approach. Beyond solar power, we have implemented several key practices to ensure our operations remain as lean and green as possible:

• Water stewardship: Water is a vital resource in our processing stages. We have integrated closed-loop water systems that allow us to recycle and reuse water multiple times, drastically reducing our overall consumption and preventing waste.
• Waste to wealth: We do not view by-products as waste; we view them as opportunities. By optimising our extraction processes, we ensure that every part of the raw material is utilised efficiently, turning potential waste into valuable resources for other industrial applications.
• Technological excellence: Sustainability and efficiency go hand in hand. We are committed to infrastructure and automation. By replacing older machinery with state-of-the-art, energy-efficient equipment, we are maximising our output while minimising our power draw.

Scaling for tomorrow: The Haldia unit

The Haldia unit is a cornerstone of the company’s Halder Venture Limited 2.0 vision, serving as a high-tech blueprint for sustainable and automated manufacturing at scale. This facility is specifically designed to meet growing global demand through advanced automation and dedicated refining lines, ensuring high quality and operational agility without compromising environmental standards. A key component of this green transition is the integration of PV solar power panels; the company is actively installing a solar power plant to replace energy from conventional sources, thereby reducing its carbon footprint. These renewable energy efforts are part of a broader ESG strategy at the unit that includes energy-efficient practices, rainwater harvesting, and closed-loop water recycling to foster a more conscious and sustainable food ecosystem.

Our promise to you.

By integrating green energy into the heart of our production, we are ensuring that the products you trust are made with integrity and a deep respect for the natural world. This approach reflects our commitment to aligning industrial growth with environmental responsibility, proving that industrial growth and environmental care can and must thrive together. Our commitment to sustainability is a long-term pledge to our consumers and our planet, ensuring that every drop of oil we produce contributes to a cleaner, healthier future for everyone.
