The team played a focal role in the Company achieving ‘plastic waste neutrality’ across its operations in the country in June 2022. The Company has collected, processed, and recycled an estimated 35,000 metric tonnes of plastic waste in FY 2021-22. The Company is committed to becoming 100% EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) compliant and reducing the use of virgin plastic by deploying measures including:

 

  • Redesigning packaging to reduce the quantum of plastic used
  • Replacing plastic through innovation

  • Removal of plastic trays from the packs

 

 

The R & D team works closely with the Britannia Nutrition Foundation in addressing malnutrition in children, adolescents, pregnant women and lactating mothers. A specialized iron intense product has been developed to provide a sufficient quantity of RDA to anaemic children. Each biscuit contains 2mg of iron delivering 36-50% RDA requirement for 3-6 year old children.
