A Carbon Positive CorporationITC has been at the forefront of corporate India's initiatives to progressively reduce Green House Gas emissions.ITC has implemented several CDM projects under the Kyoto Protocol and ensured carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration through large-scale social and farm forestry initiatives.All ITC businesses strive to minimize energy consumption and wherever possible use environment friendly sources of energy.
CONTINUED..ITC's social and farm forestry initiatives have created a green cover of over 100,000 hectares, consolidating its position as a 'Carbon Positive' corporation for five years in a row.This initiative has already created over 46 million person days of employment.30.9 % of ITCs energy consumption is from renewable sources
MANAGING CHANGEAdding share holder value through diversification(From concentric to diversified industry)The company has kept away from those markets where it does not have the back-end or does not see value additions. So it is unlikely to make forays into tea and coffee ("highly commoditised") or dairy products ("needs a very large infrastructure to source milk
CONTINUED..E-choupals (BACKWARD INTEGRATION): villages across the country where farmers can sell their produce directly sans middlemen or having to go to a mandi at a fair price, and also get information relevant to farming, weather and prices at other mandis, all on the netOffers its distributors higher margins (ITC says it offers competitive margins) and also its Iproducts are more competitively priced as compared to its competitors, all of which has resulted in it cornering an over 10 per cent market share in a short span of time
CONTINUED..Because of low oppertunities in tobaco sector the company diversified which led to major turnaround for the company
