The Climate Group is a non-profit organisation that works with business and government leaders around the world to address climate change.

"The EP 100 journey has enabled Mahindra to reduce cost, drive innovation and support the environment. Doubling energy productivity in short span of time is a feat that we are very proud of," Mahindra Vehicle Manufacturers Ltd CEO and Chief Manufacturing Operation for automotive sector at M&M Ltd, Vijay Kalra said.
