Hero MotoCorp believes in sound and sustainable environmental practices.

Hero MotoCorp has introduced green initiatives in the organisation in product development, manufacturing, supply chain and all the functions. The company has also taken several initiatives to reduce carbon, water & waste footprint. Its latest plants have been developed on the green building concept
i.e. Neemrana manufacturing plant, GPC, HGCIT facility Jaipur are LEED IGBC certified. From efficient building envelope, to the Big Foot air handlers, to water and energy optimisation – the Garden Factory demonstrates HMCL’s environmental aspirations. Put together, all its plants cover 116,500m2 of green roof, the latest being 25000m2 in 2016-17 at Vadodara. Hero’s green roof helps to conserve energy by moderating the temperature on the roof and within surrounding areas. It also helps to reduce the storm water runoff volume and peak flow rate dramatically. The green roof can restore aesthetic and ecological value of open urban spaces. It addition to this, it protects conventional roofing systems by doubling the service life of the underlying waterproof membrane. At its latest plants green houses with green roof, with Hydroponics technology, it requires only 2% of water as compared to actual farming. By recycling carbon dioxide into the greenhouse, it enhances photosynthesis. The green walls generate oxygen.

Hero ensures that sewage is biologically treated. This treatment plant can accommodate up to 6 hours of holding and effluent is 100% treated and recycled
to be used in cooling towers.
