Speaking on the initiative, Saurabh Kumar, MD, EESL, said, "This partnership marks a very significant step towards promoting an energy efficient lifestyle among corporates and large facilities in India. We are very happy that Mahindra & Mahindra has undertaken this initiative and has set an example for the industry. We look forward to more such collaborations so that they adopt EE appliances that will help them in reducing operational cost through energy savings. Government of India has revolutionised the energy efficiency market in India and changed the perception of using EE appliances among citizens through UJALA."

Dr. Pawan Goenka, Managing Director, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, said, "We are delighted to partner EESL in making our manufacturing facilities energy efficient. At Mahindra, we view sustainability as a vital business strategy thereby helping our stakeholders to Rise. As a responsible organization not only have we adopted energy efficient solutions in our manufacturing facilities but have also encouraged our suppliers, dealer partners and employees to do so, to reduce carbon emission for a cleaner, smarter and greener tomorrow".

Mahindra became the first company in the world to commit to doubling energy productivity by 2030. It has also committed to invest $10 per ton of carbon emitted in technologies to reduce its carbon footprint. The partnership with EESL will go a long way in fulfilling these commitments.

By conceptualising and embracing these programmes, the partnership of EESL and Mahindra is taking strong steps towards the vision of creating a low carbon economy in India.
