BL Agro, as a large-scale industry, requires a continual supply of energy, and for such an industry type the Carbon emissions are quite natural. A higher rate of carbon emissions in the environment leads to a rise in the earth's core temperature causing the Greenhouse Effect, thus resulting in Global Warming.
“Greenhouse gases not only impact the environment around but have adverse health impacts as well. Climate change led due to global warming not only leads to trapping heat, but is also a major contributor to respiratory disease caused by air pollutants. Thus, we, as a responsible corporate have a manufacturing unit, which relies 100% on solar power”, says Mr. Ashish Khandelwal, Managing Director, BL Agro on the observance of World Environment Day.
