Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

  • Water management is a critical aspect for infrastructure companies as they heavily rely on a stable and adequate supply of water for construction and ongoing operations. As environmental concerns grow, investors and stakeholders increasing focus on the sustainability practices of companies. Failing to address water management risks can harm Ramky’s reputation and attractiveness to investors.
  • Infrastructure projects often require significant land acquisition, which can lead to displacement and resettlement of communities. If not managed properly, this can result in social unrest, protests, and legal challenges
  • Community resistance can lead to disruptions in the supply chain. Protests or road blocks by community members can prevent the smooth flow of materials and equipment, causing construction delays and added expenses.
  • The nature of infrastructure projects often involves high-risk activities, such as construction, excavation, and heavy machinery operations. Without proper safety measures, there is an increased likelihood of accidents, injuries, and, in the worst cases, fatalities among the workforces.
  • A poor safety record can lead to higher insurance premiums for the company, increasing operating costs.
  • Any unethical behaviour or lack of integrity within the company can lead to negative publicity and damage the company’s reputation.
  • Engaging in unethical practices can lead to breaches of contracts with clients, subcontractors, or suppliers. This may result in legal disputes and financial liabilities for the company
Mitigation Strategies
