Environment

At Derewala we strive to conserve and preserve our environment for a better, brighter future for the generations to come.

We use responsibly sourced recycled metals, and lab-grown gems to support ethical manufacturing, reduce mining demand, and minimize environmental and social impacts while promoting sustainability.

Our infrastructure is energy-efficient, eco-friendly, and focused on sustainability. We use Sewage Treatment Plants (STP) and Effluent Treatment Plants (ETP) to recycle water, minimize consumption, and implement efficient waste management for a clean, sustainable operation.

We aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 70% through a 3MW solar power plant in Bikaner, e-vehicles, shuttle services, and energy-efficient systems like LED lighting and HVAC, reducing our carbon footprint and supporting sustainable practices.
