Supply Chain Engagement
Sustainability in Supply Chain: Vendor Meet Highlights
Brookfield India REIT recently organized our firstever ‘Regional Supply Chain Meet’ for vendors in Delhi NCR, specifically inviting our top 50 business partners with significant spend. The purpose of the vendor meet was to strengthen our partnerships with key suppliers to collaborate effectively for ESG practices integration. During the meet, the importance of incorporating carbon and other emissions considerations into daily business operations was emphasized to promote strategies that can minimize environmental footprint. We also focused on localization of supply chains, encouraging regional manufacturing and reducing dependency on global supply chains. We also promoted digital transformation among our suppliers, aiming to eliminate paper transactions and enhance efficiency through robust digital collaborations. We plan to organize such vendor meets frequently in the future as well to align our supplier operations with Brookfield India REIT’s sustainability goals.

Community Engagement
Pond Redevelopment Initiative
We understand the urgency to focus on water conservation, especially in vulnerable regions like Gurugram. To contribute towards environmental rejuvenation of water bodies, we collaborated with Abhipsa Foundation with an intent of restoring natural habitats, recharging groundwater, and supporting overall community well-being. We undertook a project of pond revival in the Border Security Force (BSF) campus in Bhondsi, Gurugram. The pond was suffering from sewage logging, which led to mosquito-borne diseases and negatively impacted the water supply for the soldiers. To cater to this problem, we followed a multi-step approach of pond rejuvenation including pond development, laying of Geo-Coir on pond slope, installation of wastewater treatment plant, plantation of wetland near the pond, rainwater channelization to the pond, gravel bed set-up for wetland plantation, and so on. Through our intervention, we were successfully able to transform a polluted pond into a thriving ecosystem. This initiative supported Abhipsa Foundation’s GuruJal initiative, which aims to rejuvenate and rehabilitate ponds to enhance groundwater levels. Our employee volunteers at Brookfield India REIT also actively participated in the initiative through their efforts of painting pathways and planting saplings which demonstrates their commitment to corporate social responsibility.

Air Quality
Retrofit Emission Control Devices (RECD) to Combat Air Pollution
To combat outdoor air pollution from industrial and automotive sources, we have implemented advanced Retrofit Emission Control Devices (RECD), such as Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOC) and Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF). These technologies effectively capture and neutralize harmful emissions like nitrogen oxides(NOx), carbon monoxide and particulate matter, thereby significantly enhancing air quality and ensuring compliance with stringent environmental regulations. These RECD devices require minimal maintenance, with no need for consumables with low initial and operational expenses. Their compact design and compatibility with all Diesel Generator (DG) Sets further underscore their efficiency and practicality.
