ITC’s Sustainability Vision: Building a Responsible Future

At ITC, sustainability is not just a goal but a core philosophy that guides every aspect of the business. For over 20 years, the company has embraced the principle of "Putting India First"—prioritizing the nation and the institution above individual or corporate interests.

This vision has inspired ITC to develop innovative business models that integrate economic growth, environmental stewardship, and social impact into a unified strategy.

Commitment in Action

Environmental Leadership
ITC is among the few global companies of its size to be carbon positive, water positive, and solid waste recycling positive, demonstrating a sustained commitment to environmental responsibility.

Through focused initiatives to reduce water consumption and enhance rainwater harvesting, ITC has strengthened water security across its operations.

Waste Management Innovation
ITC’s flagship WoW (Well-being Out of Waste) program addresses urban waste challenges while promoting recycling and generating livelihoods within local communities.
