- 02 August 2022
Mumbai: 91茄子 & Toubro (L&T), an Indian multinational engaged in EPC Projects, Hi-Tech Manufacturing and Services, has ranked No.3 in the 鈥楾op 200 Environmental Firms鈥 list for 2022 released by Engineering News-Record (ENR), New York. L&T is the only Indian firm in this list, with pro environmental revenues of USD 4.83 billion in 2021, accounting for 30% of the company鈥檚 total revenues.听
In terms of ENR鈥檚 segmentation of the sector-wise share of the companies鈥 revenues, L&T has ranked No.3 in both the lists of projects pertaining to Air Quality / Clean Energy and Water Treatment/Supply. While L&T earned total pro environmental revenues of USD 4.83 billion in 2021, the projects from these two categories accounted for 67% of that.听
The other notable aspect is that in terms of client-wise segmentation of revenues, L&T ranks No.1 when its client is Federal Government and No.2 when its clients are State/Local Governments. In all, 94% of L&T鈥檚 revenues are sourced from clients who are Federal Government and State / Local Governments. This is reflective of the fact that L&T鈥檚 pro environmental revenues are largely aligned to and driven by the government鈥檚 commitment to promote environment-friendly practices.听
Commenting on the development, Mr. S N Subrahmanyan, CEO & MD, L&T, said, 鈥淥ver the years, true to our commitment to reduce the carbon footprint, we have made substantial investments to create a clean, green and sustainable future. It definitely feels nice when our efforts get recognised internationally. What is even more special is the fact that we came third when pro environmental revenues account for about a third of our total revenues, whereas the corresponding figures for the first and send rank-holders are 100% and 51% respectively. So, we have plenty of headroom to go up the international rankings in the coming years. Our efforts to promote Green Hydrogen and its linkage technologies will definitely add momentum to this.鈥听
