This award is being given to every industrial sector to recognise and honour,
the organisations taking responsibility to contribute towards conservation
and protection of the natural resources.

MRPL received this prestigious award for its innovative practices and approach towards water management in the refinery especially the water conservation efforts undertaken by the refinery during the summer months of April to June 2023 to reduce its fresh water dependence during the challenging period of water scarcity.

The steps taken by the refinery have not only contributed to its own sustainability but also benefited the residents of Mangaluru City. The utilisation of treated city sewage water, desalinated water from our recently commissioned desalination plant and internally recycled effluent for the refinery operations, MRPL reduced its dependence on the fresh water consumption drastically at a time when Mangaluru City was experiencing acute water shortage last summer. This exemplifies, MRPL’s balanced approach towards business excellence and environmental performance.
