Clage is committed to being an environmentally conscious company, continuously striving to manufacture sustainable and energy-efficient products. They have made significant progress in reducing their carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, achieving a 56 percent reduction since 2014. Any remaining emissions that cannot be reduced are offset through renewable energy sources, as they have had a green energy contract since 2020. Additionally, starting from 2021, Clage has been actively offsetting their current CO2 emissions through certified climate protection projects. To ensure compliance with the latest environmental standards, Clage follows a set of steps outlined by ISO 14001. These steps include using grass paper packaging, which consists of corrugated board with 30 percent grass content, conserving valuable natural resources. They have also implemented pallet packaging without film, utilizing reusable pallet rubber bands and saving over 67 kilometres of plastic film annually. Furthermore, Clage operates entirely on renewable energy, powering their entire company, including production, with green electricity. Their commitment to energy and water-saving products is evident in the continuous improvement of their water heaters’ efficiency, ensuring maximum customer comfort with minimal energy consumption. In 2023, Clage took further steps to reduce their ecological footprint by introducing more environmentally friendly packaging. This change resulted in a reduction of 240 kilograms of ink consumption, 35 percent less energy required for producing cartons, a saving of 30 tonnes of offset paper, and a decrease in road traffic, leading to 652 kilograms less CO2 emissions per year. These efforts have made a significant contribution to protecting the environment.
Conclusion: Blutherm’s collaboration with Clage represents a groundbreaking move in the Indian hot water solutions market, offering technologically advanced, eco-conscious products. Their joint venture not only caters to the functional needs of modern households but also demonstrates a strong commitment to sustainability, paving the way for a greener, more efficient future.
