Taking Actions Across the Supply Chain

Taking Actions Across the Supply Chain

Minimising Impact, Maximising Efficiency

Overview

At GNO, we recognize that sustainability begins at the source and extends through every link in the supply chain. Our commitment to taking action across all our businesses reflects our responsibility towards minimising environmental impact and fostering responsible practices.

By integrating innovative technologies and strategic local partnerships, we not only enhance operational efficiency but also drive meaningful change that benefits our customers and the planet alike.

Optimising Logistics for a Sustainable Tomorrow

Optimising Logistics for a Sustainable Tomorrow

At GNO, we are continually innovating to optimise logistics through latest innovations focus on maximising container capacity, leading to significantly lowering logistics expenses while enhancing energy efficiency.

By integrating Industry 4.0 technologies in our manufacturing processes, we enhance efficiency and resource optimization, resulting in faster production cycles and reduced power consumption.

By offering tapes in various configurations—rolls, sheets, spools, and custom die-cut parts we optimise transportation and assembly processes, minimising waste across the supply chain. This approach not only enhances project success but also reinforces our commitment to sustainability by reducing the overall environmental impact of our operations.

Through these initiatives, we are making significant strides in creating value-added solutions that align with our customers' sustainability objectives.

Our Commitment to Sustainable Operational Excellence

Our Commitment to Sustainable Operational Excellence

At GNO, we focus on optimising operations by bringing them closer to our customers. With strategically located, integrated manufacturing plants across India, we ensure that we not only meet customer needs faster, but also reduce our environmental impact. By shortening supply routes, we cut down on freight emissions and transit times, delivering sustainable, efficient solutions right where you need them.

In our Performance Polymer Solutions business, we prioritise backward integration throughout the supply chain, allowing us to minimise our carbon footprint.

Sustainability is not just a goal at GNO—it’s a continuous journey that requires proactive, conscious choices at each stage. From the raw material we source, to the way products are used and disposed of, we are committed to reducing our Scope 3 emissions holistically. By taking responsibility for every phase in the life cycle, we work to minimise our environmental footprint and create a sustainable path forward.

We focus on creating durable products that contribute to resource efficiency and long-term sustainability. Our durable products-such as bearings, seals, bags, and fabrics-are designed to last.

This longevity reduces the need for frequent replacements, minimising resource consumption and waste over time. By ensuring that our products stand the test of time, we help reduce the overall environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Limiting Our Environmental Impact

Limiting Our Environmental Impact

Driving Change for a Greener Tomorrow

Overview

Limiting our environmental impact is essential to creating a sustainable future. At GNO, we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and conserving resources by embracing cleaner, more sustainable practices. Our ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability extends beyond operations, fostering a greener, healthier community for generations to come.
Leading the Way in Waste Reduction and Sustainability:

Leading the Way in Waste Reduction and Sustainability:

At GNO, we are committed to reducing environmental impact through several waste management practices. The advanced electro-coagulation technology in Bengaluru, for efficient effluent treatment is a pioneering method to effectively treat process effluents from various manufacturing plants. This ensures cleaner water discharge, while minimising environmental impact.

We have transitioned from using conventional LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) plastic packaging to compostable polymer alternatives for our non-woven product line, minimising plastic waste.

Transforming Waste into Value:

Transforming Waste into Value:

Our commitment to recycling is evident in our seals and silicon carbide plant, where scrap materials are recycled and reused, minimising waste. Additionally, our tape solutions are engineered to endure extreme environmental conditions while offering reliable performance, making them ideal for renewable energy applications. By adopting industrial processes that emit less CO2, such as solvent-free, UV-cured acrylics, we are minimising our carbon footprint.

Our innovative adhesives and sealants are significantly reducing environmental impact through eco-friendly, non-toxic, water-based formulations with low to zero VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). This significantly lowers harmful emissions while enhancing product safety. Additionally, our thermoplastic solutions are recyclable, promoting a circular economy.

Enhancing Energy Efficiency Through Innovation

Enhancing Energy Efficiency Through Innovation

Energy efficiency is another key focus at GNO. Our special bonding tapes enhance energy conservation by reducing reliance on mechanical fasteners in construction, ultimately prolonging the lifespan of building materials and contributing to greener building practices.

At GNO, we are dedicated to smarter production and resource optimization. By reducing paper core thickness and consumption in ADFORS, we have cut CO2 emissions nearly in half. We have also optimised the diameters of our finished goods rolls, decreasing packaging material use. With a redesigned vat size, we have reduced chemical wastage, improving material quality and consistency. By extending roll lengths, we have lowered PNG consumption, which translates to a reduction in CO2 emissions.

Our commitment to energy efficiency is also reflected in our facilities, where we integrate energy efficient equipment and variable frequency drives. These initiatives contribute to reducing energy consumption and enhancing operational sustainability.

Powering Sustainability through Alternative Energy

Powering Sustainability through Alternative Energy

Our commitment to alternative energy sources reflects in our efforts to leverage renewable energy sources, such as hydroelectricity and green energy exchanges to power our production process; this aligns with our goal of transitioning to 100% sustainable energy. A Power Purchase Agreement signed in 2023 by our plant in Mora, furthers GNO’s commitment to sustainability by cutting carbon emissions and enhancing energy efficiency.

In addition to integrating energy efficient equipment and variable frequency drives in our facilities, we utilise alternative energy sources like solar streetlights and implement smart energy management systems to reduce consumption. The transition of our fleet from diesel-fuelled vehicles to cleaner alternative fuel options, has reduced CO2 emissions significantly, improving air quality. These initiatives collectively reinforce our commitment to sustainability while delivering high-performance solutions across various industries.
