Mumbai, Apr 29: Sahajanand Medical Technologies has successfully obtained the ISO 50001:2018 Energy Management System certification for its manufacturing facilities in Surat and Hyderabad. The certification recognizes SMT’s approach to optimizing energy use, strengthening environmental stewardship, and embedding sustainability within its operational framework.
ISO 50001:2018 is an internationally recognized standard that provides a systematic framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Energy Management System. By adopting this standard, SMT has further strengthened its ability to monitor energy consumption, improve efficiency, and integrate sustainable practices across its manufacturing ecosystem. This milestone reflects SMT’s long-standing philosophy that healthcare innovation must go hand in hand with environmental responsibility.
SMT has integrated sustainability into infrastructure design and operational planning through multiple initiatives. These include solar-powered energy installations to reduce dependence on conventional energy sources and proactive environmental management within the manufacturing premises, and protection of the natural ecosystem within its allotted land.
The ISO 50001:2018 and other initiatives form part of SMT’s broader climate change mitigation strategy, which commits the company to environmental protection while offsetting the organization’s impact on natural resources. By reducing carbon emissions and optimizing energy consumption, SMT continues to align its manufacturing footprint with global sustainability standards and responsible industrial practices.
Commenting on the achievement, Bhargav Kotadia, Chief Executive Officer, SMT, said,
“At SMT, we believe that the future of healthcare innovation is inseparable from environmental responsibility. Achieving ISO 50001:2018 certification across our manufacturing facilities at Surat and Hyderabad is a significant milestone that reflects our commitment to building a sustainable, energy-efficient organization. As we continue to expand, we remain focused on integrating responsible manufacturing practices that not only enhance operational efficiency but also contribute meaningfully to the global sustainability agenda.”
Commenting on the certification, Ms Urmi Kotadia, SMT’s Lead for Sustainability said,
“At SMT, our purpose is ‘pledged to save millions’ through life-saving cardiovascular technologies. Alongside this mission, we recognize that sustainability is a critical enabler of long-term healthcare innovation. Through the ISO 50001:2018 certification, SMT has become the first domestic cardiovascular manufacturing unit to implement a structured approach to energy management that not only optimizes energy use but also strengthens our environmental goals. As energy resources become increasingly constrained and sustainability concerns grow globally, we recognise that organizations must adopt efficient approaches to managing energy consumption..”
She further added that “This achievement marks a significant step forward in our journey towards environmental stewardship, energy efficiency and operational excellence because at SMT we care not only for People but also for the Planet..”
With this milestone, SMT continues to demonstrate that medical device manufacturing can be achieved alongside responsible energy management and environmental protection, strengthening its commitment to delivering life-saving innovations while safeguarding the planet.
