As part of its corporate social responsibility initiative, Redington Foundation has installed 67 biogas plants at Kuruthanamedu village and renovated one pond at Thandalacherri in Tiruvallur district. The project aims to promote the use of biofuel as an alternative to fossil fuel, enhance the availability of water for irrigation and drinking purposes, and replenish the groundwater level in the area.
Implemented by Hand-in-Hand Inclusive Development and Services (HHIDS), a non-governmental organisation, these facilities have come up near the warehouse operations of ProConnect Supply Chain Solutions, a wholly owned subsidiary of Redington.
Ramesh Natarajan, CEO, of Redington Ltd., said Redington Foundation was committed to drive positive impact at the grass-roots level and improve the quality of life for people. “The project at Thandalacherri and Kuruthanamedu is a conscious step towards achieving this goal and we are hopeful that our efforts will enable the people with better accessibility to renewable energy, clean water, digital literacy and personal hygiene,” he said.
