Sustainability
As a responsible establishment in the manufacturing sector in India, we’re dedicated to eco-conscious innovation, prioritising waste management, sustainable sourcing, and carbon footprint minimisation. Our business practices are specially designed to ensure energy efficiency, social responsibility, and the preservation of natural resources. We seek to build products that fulfil today's needs without compromising tomorrow's requirements, through continual improvement.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
Environment
We have consistently prioritised environmental sustainability through proactive pollution control and energy efficiency measures.
- First foundry in India to achieve ISO 14001:2004 certification
- Robust energy efficiency practices to reduce overall energy consumption
- Monthly monitoring of energy usage for continuous optimisation
- Ongoing efforts to control and progressively reduce gaseous emissions
Sand Recycling
We follow an environmentally responsible approach in sand usage and recycling during the moulding process.
- Use of Green Sand bonded with water. No chemicals involved
- 98% of sand is recycled across production cycles
- Multi-stage magnetic separation for sand cleaning
- Coarse particles removed via magnetic drum and conveyor
- Fine particles separated through magnetic gravity separation
- Cast iron and steel scrap is recycled in furnaces
- Boring and fines from casting and machining are briquetted and re-melted in-house
Iron Fines Recovery
To prevent soil contamination, we employ a briquetting process that ensures complete reuse of iron fines.
- Briquetting machine compacts iron fines into cylindrical briquettes
- These briquettes are charged back into the cupola furnace for re-melting
- This process prevents iron fines from entering landfills and protects soil integrity
Social
In the social aspect of sustainability, Crescent upholds its core values of respect, integrity, teamwork, delivering on commitments, and continuous improvement. These values are ingrained in all employees, from onboarding processes to regular training sessions.
Regular training is conducted to refresh employees on safety protocols, and standard operating procedures are made accessible on the plant floor. We also foster the Great Place to Work environment, emphasising safe, friendly working conditions that instil a sense of pride among employees and associates.
Governance
Crescent maintains a strong commitment to governance by ensuring compliance with all relevant laws and regulations. The company invests in solutions to monitor changes, reporting, and compliance processes effectively.
We have also established a formal risk management process to identify and manage key risks within the organisation's risk appetite. Internal audits are conducted independently to report on issues and risks, and an effective whistle-blower policy is in place to encourage stakeholders to report any ethical concerns.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
We believe in giving back to the community through strategic CSR initiatives, with a particular focus on education and health.
In education, we support various institutions to provide children with the necessary tools and resources for quality education. With a unified objective to enhance their earning capacity and open up brighter future prospects, we collaborate with prestigious institutions and initiatives like the Samaritan High School, Help Us Help Them, Parivaar, Dakshini Prayash, and more.
In social empowerment, we are honoured to collaborate with South Kolkata Hamari Muskan, helping children, adolescents and women choose a dignified life.
In health, we contribute towards medical care in the regions where we operate, ensuring communities have access to healthcare facilities and services, thereby improving overall well-being. We are proud to be associated with the Rural Health Care Foundation in Kolkata.
By prioritising sustainability across these pillars—environment, social responsibility, governance, and CSR - we underline our commitment to making a positive impact on society and the environment while ensuring long-term business success.
