Quote – Mr Ravichandran Purushothaman, President, Danfoss India

At Danfoss India, sustainability is not a checkbox – it’s a commitment to life itself. Our Chennai campus stands as a living testament to this ethos. By planting over 10,500 native trees using the Miyawaki method, we’ve transformed our workspace into a thriving micro-ecosystem, enhancing air quality, water retention, and biodiversity.

This World Environment Day, as the world unites under the theme ‘Beat Plastic Pollution,’ we reaffirm our dedication to environmental stewardship. Our water-positive infrastructure at Oragadam, achieved through innovative technologies like AI-driven Danfoss Drives and digital twins, exemplifies how industrial operations can harmonize with nature.

Stretching our efforts beyond campus borders, we’ve made our Oragadam operations and foot camps plastic-free, demonstrating how consistent, grassroots action can lead to systemic change. These initiatives are not symbolic—they are steps toward a regenerative economy where businesses coexist with nature.

India’s journey towards sustainability is deeply rooted in its culture and innovation. From empowering small farmers with clean cold chain solutions to fostering green skills among our youth, we are engineering a future where economic growth and ecological balance go hand in hand.

Looking ahead, Danfoss India is committed to pioneering solutions that address plastic pollution and promote sustainable practices. We aim to integrate circular economy principles into our operations, reducing plastic use and enhancing recycling efforts.

Let us all pledge to move beyond symbolic actions. Together, we can engineer a better, greener future for India and the world.

Quote by Ms. Anju Mary Kuruvilla, Director – Industry Affairs, Communication & Sustainability at Danfoss India.:

Environmental stewardship at Danfoss is more than a responsibility, it’s a daily practice woven into our culture. This World Environment Day, we take pride in our continued efforts to create plastic-free zones not just within our Chennai campus but across our Oragadam operations and community foot camps. By eliminating single-use plastics and engaging employees and local partners, we’re building a groundswell of conscious action.

These efforts complement our long-standing legacy in energy-efficient innovation. From green buildings to sustainable water management, from clean mobility to precision agriculture, we offer solutions proven in over 120 countries and proudly adapted for India’s green journey.

Danfoss has been a committed partner in India’s sustainability story for over two decades. As we support the nation’s net-zero goals, we believe collaboration is key. Whether it’s through academic partnerships, employee engagement, or community initiatives, we are accelerating action toward a circular, low-carbon economy. Every tree planted, every plastic bag replaced, and every watt saved brings us closer to a livable planet. Together, let’s shape a future that’s not just sustainable, but flourishing.
