World over, several organizations big and small will be observing Earth Day. Every industry has their own way of showing their solidarity to the cause. In Bangalore, Ranka Steels will be doing their bit towards a greener tomorrow for the first time as well.
Ms Romitha Karumbaiah, Head- Corporate Communications, Ranka Steels says, “If you walk past companies after office-hours, you will see how much of power is still being utilized to light up the space. Shutting off power for one hour in a day is not only good for the environment but actually saves around 12% to 13% of the power we would utilize on a regular 8-hour working day.”
In this one hour of being powerless, the production processing plant will be set back on its production schedule by around 20 tons which roughly translates into Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000 in terms of income for the company. Despite this, the management of the company is in complete agreement on the need for such measures on occasion.
Ms Romitha says that the steel sector is one that consumes a great deal of power, which in fact is the basic premise of their functioning. Since power is the mainstay of the industry, it is only fitting that this resource be given up in observance of Earth Day.
