In a landscape where ESG compliance is no longer optional, SEBI mandated ESG reporting for India's top 1000 listed companies two years ago and will extended it to all MSME’s in coming years. Considering this scenario, Bhumimithr emerges as a game-changer in crafting sustainable solutions across operational excellence, supply chain optimization, and comprehensive ESG considerations.
The firm's methodology blends architectural principles with AI, setting new standards in the industry. Bhumimithr offers not just consultancy but tangible results. From carbon footprint assessments to sustainable architectural design, firm expertise ensures clients thrive in the era of ESG compliance.
"What sets us apart is our extensive 30 years of experience in the manufacturing industry. Unlike simply providing software solutions and expecting organizations to input their data for generic outputs, we have actively engaged with various organizations over the past three decades, gaining comprehensive insights into their operations.
This deep understanding enables us to tailor solutions to the specific needs of different industries. To further distinguish our offerings, we have developed the Bhumimithr App. This application stands out in the market by offering holistic solutions customized to the unique requirements of clients", says Dr. Brijesh Ainapur, Founder and CEO.
Approaching Carbon Neutrality
Bhumimithr's holistic solutions drive profitability and environmental stewardship, shaping a sustainable and prosperous future through the following services: sustainability, project management, AI and IOT solutions, and a carbon footprint calculator. They implement a method to measure environmental impact, focusing on carbon footprints and achieving carbon neutrality.
Their approach follows GHG norms and UNFCCC guidelines, measuring emissions across three scopes. Scope one encompasses emissions directly generated by an organization's operations, such as those from manufacturing. Scope two pertains to energy consumption, while scope three extends to emissions stemming from suppliers and transportation. Through the app, they capture data on all three scopes, including supplier emissions, facilitating precise measurement. This numerical approach enables organizations to track their carbon footprint accurately and work towards carbon neutrality.
Adding on Dr. Brijesh states, "One of our services is sustainable architecture, led by our Director, Dr. Raghav Ainapur an Architect by profession. He designs buildings to minimize power consumption for ventilation and lighting, ensuring sustainability. Our approach emphasizes natural lighting and ventilation while incorporating rainwater harvesting to meet water needs sustainably. The vision of Bhumimithr is rooted in the understanding that we are merely tenants on this earth, we have to pass on to the next generation, who are actual owners".
In addition to addressing environmental concerns, Bhumimithr also prioritizes social responsibility. The Bhumimithr app is designed to measure and record organization’s contributions to society, including support for local schools, infrastructure development, medical camps, and green initiatives like tree planting. These efforts are documented in the ESG reports, ensuring transparency and accountability. Firms also adhere to SEBI guidelines for business responsibility and sustainability reporting (BRSR), specifically following the directives outlined in Section B, including the nine principles provided under Section C. Bhumimithr also support organizations to prepare CBAM reports for their exports into European Union.
In conclusion, beyond business operations, Bhumimithr is committed to making meaningful contributions to the local communities. Besides, the firm has initiated green plantation efforts, intending to plant 1000 saplings, and is in discussions to provide regular medical checkup camps and educational resources to nearby schools. Bhumimithr has partnered with solar and wind power generators, not only measuring carbon footprints but also providing comprehensive solutions to reduce them. The goal is to assist organizations in becoming carbon neutral by 2030, offering strategies such as utilizing renewable energy sources and purchasing carbon credits.
"We plan to enhance our app by consolidating all sustainability activities, from measuring carbon footprints to implementing strategies for reduction and offsetting through carbon credit procurement, ensuring a comprehensive approach to sustainability management under one umbrella", sums up Dr. Brijesh.
