The integrated facility of ITC’s Paperboards & Specialty Papers Business Division (PSPD) in Bhadrachalam has received the GreenCo Platinum+ rating from the Confederation of Indian Industry’s Green Business Centre.
It is the only facility in the pulp and paper sector and the second company overall in the country to have received the prestigious rating. Stating this, a release from ITC said the rating, given to industries for demonstrating leadership and commitment towards environment conservation, is a recognition for ITC’s core commitment to sustainable business practices and efforts to combat climate change.
