Saving our planet, lifting people out of poverty, advancing economic growth.
Our Commitment to Environmental Sustainability
At Acme Universal Safezone, we strongly believe that business growth and environmental stewardship must go hand-in-hand. We have undertaken several comprehensive initiatives across our value chain to reduce our ecological impact and promote sustainability.
Reducing Our Energy Footprint
We aim to significantly reduce our energy consumption through:
Solar Energy
Our rooftop is covered with a 300KW solar panel system using advanced TOPCON technology. This generates 45,000 KWh of clean electricity per month, meeting over 20% of our energy needs.
Smart Glass
Our specialized Saint Gobain reflective glass optimizes natural light while reducing heat gain by 70% compared to clear glass. This cuts our air-conditioning load substantially, saving around 9,000 KWh per month.
Energy Efficient Lighting
We have installed 400 energy-saving LED lights which consume 40% less electricity and last 6 times longer than conventional lighting. Our LED streetlights save 50% over traditional bulbs. This initiative reduces our lighting power consumption by over 29,000 KWh annually.
Efficient Motors
We utilize BLDC fans that operate without brushes, making them more efficient, silent and durable than regular fans. Replacing old 70W fans with new BLDC fans saves us 3,600 KWh monthly.
Water Conservation Efforts
At Acme Universal Safezone, we strongly believe that business growth and environmental stewardship must go hand-in-hand. We have undertaken several comprehensive initiatives across our value chain to reduce our ecological impact and promote sustainability.
Rainwater Harvesting
Sewage Treatment
Waste Management and Recycling
We follow strict waste segregation which enables significant recycling and reuse:
All leather, rubber, PU trim and textile waste is segregated at source and recycled back into shoe production. This avoids thousands of kg in CO2 emissions annually.
Our bonded foam made from scrap linings can substitute virgin EVA, reducing carbon footprint by over 40,000 kg per year.
Overall, our recycling initiatives create zero-waste closed-loop material flows, aligning with the principles of circular economy.

Optimizing Transportation for Lower Emissions
- Employee carpooling program avoided 45,000 kg of CO2 emissions in 2020 by reducing vehicles entering our premises.
- Route optimization, procuring locally and incentives for full truck loads helped cut incoming and outgoing trips by 50%. This initiative resulted in an annual CO2 emission reduction of 2.7 lakh kg.
