It is the only facility in the pulp and paper sector and the second company overall in the country to have received the prestigious rating. Stating this, a release from ITC said the rating, given to industries for demonstrating leadership and commitment towards environment conservation, is a recognition for ITC’s core commitment to sustainable business practices and efforts to combat climate change.
