Corporate HUL to reduce carbon footprint by 25% in 3 years NEW DELHI: FMCG major Hindustan Unilever (HUL) on Tuesday said it has fixed a target of 25 per cent reduction in carbon footprint by 2012. “We are very committed towards environment sustainability. HUL and its parent company Unilever have fixed a target of 25 per cent reduction in carbon footprint, taking 2004 as the base level, by 2012,’’ the company CEO, Mr Nitin Paranjpe, told reporters here on the sidelines of World Economic Forum. HUL has already achieved the level and the company is now working towards water conservation, he said. Two-third of power plants in India is zero affluent discharge and four of them are already water positive (recharging more water than one can use). The company has already prepared a roadmap in this direction for 2015, Mr Paranjpe said while declining to comment further. — PTI
