ITC is now a 'Carbon Positive Corporation'

Total Green House Gas (GHG) emissions from all the ITC units during the year amounted to 1,202 kilotonnes of CO2 (1,058 kilotonnes in 04-05).

ITC continued to rapidly upscale its farm and social forestry initiatives and added another nearly 12,000 hectares of plantations in 2005-06.

The total area under ITC's farm and social forestry plantations now amounts to nearly 41,000 hectares.

This initiative has not only led to raw materials sustainability for ITC's Paperboards business, but has helped sequester 1,244 kilotonnes of CO2, thereby making ITC a 'Carbon Positive Company'.
Unit 03-04 04-05 05-06
CO2 released (Manufacturing & Freight) Kilotonnes 1013 1058 1202
CO2 sequestered Kilotonnes 311 906 1244
CO2 sequestered Percent 31% 86% 104%
  
These plantations help ITC sequester more carbon dioxide than it emits.
