Allcargo’s CFS in Chennai walks the talk on sustainability

Conserves and makes drinking water available for locals

At Allcargo Logistics Ltd., we are very serious about our commitment to sustainability and the environment. Leading by example, our CFS team in Chennai really proved how being sustainable is all about having a positive impact on the lives of people in the vicinity of our offices and facilities.

What happened?

  • Chennai is facing its worst water crisis in 30 years
  • 200 days without rainfall
  • Drinking water reservoirs hold below 1% of their capacities
  • City is dependent on its desalination plant for water

 

What steps did our CFS in Chennai take?

  • A borewell was sunk in the premises
  • Borewell was connected to the RO plant of the CFS
  • A dispensing system was then set up outside the CFS
  • Locals can collect drinking water in pans and pots
  • Employees went from door to door to inform locals about the borewell

 

We are giving the locals absolutely pure drinking water whose potability is measured and monitored by our safety and maintenance team.

On an average, 100,000 litres of RO purified drinking water(TDS level 70mg/litre) is being made available for local families every day.

Is that it? Not at all!

  • Water conservation and harvesting efforts are already on too!
  • 26 trenches across 23 acres of land
  • Every drop of rainwater goes into the ground through trenches
  • 4 rainwater harvesting pits help recharge the groundwater table
  • Total recharge capability of 5 million litres of water per annum

We are proud of our CFS team in Chennai for this heart-warming effort!
