Auroville Consulting (AVC) has published its annual sustainability report for the financial year 2023-2024, highlighting significant strides in environmental sustainability.
For the second year in a row, we have achieved a carbon-negative status, demonstrating our proactive approach to climate change mitigation. By meticulously tracking and offsetting greenhouse gas emissions, we have not only reduced our environmental impact but also contributed to a more sustainable future.
- When compared to the previous year, our overall emissions have reduced. Our scope 1 was reduced by 50% and scope 2 was maintained at zero.
- We achieved a significant reduction in net emissions, with 124% of total emissions offset by providing electric two-wheelers to all our team members, resulting in an 84% decrease in daily commute emissions, compared to FY 21-22.
- 100% of our electricity demand was met through renewable energy from rooftop solar, generating an excess of 3,959 kWh, making AVC an energy-positive organization.
- 100% of our waste is recycled, ensuring minimal environmental impact and promoting a circular economy.
- We composted 100% of our wet waste, totaling 295.26 kg, which not only reduced waste disposal to landfill, but also produced nutrient-rich compost for our local gardens.
