Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn) and the state government of Tamil Nadu in India have recently inaugurated a new residential complex in Vallam Vadagal Industrial Park, providing a sustainable living community for thousands of employees of the world’s largest manufacturing service provider.

The complex, built by the State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu (SIPCOT), is a first of its kind, reflecting active efforts by the local government to attract foreign investment, while meeting investor needs for sustainability and operational efficiency.

The Vallam Vadagal residential complex represents Foxconn’s commitment to the health and safety of employees and enables a greater workforce diversity. The women-only residential complex offers peace of mind for employees living away from home and a shorter work commute.

Commenting on their venture, Foxconn Chairman Young Liu, said, “Here, will be home to thousands of women, who will find a job with Foxconn. They will come from many regions in India, from all walks of life, at different stages in their lives. This residential complex is now an important part of Foxconn in Tamil Nadu. It joins our commitment to sustainability in India.”

Foxconn’s largest footprint in India is in Tamil Nadu. The new complex reflects the Indian state’s robust economic strategy to be a benchmark for India’s technology industry. The multi-building residential complex, which is 20 minutes from Foxconn’s mega manufacturing site via company shuttle, includes laundromat, gym, recreational areas, cafeteria and dining hall.

The housing complex will increase Foxconn’s operational efficiency and be managed in line with the Group’s international standards and best practice.

Sustainability efforts of Foxconn’s overall India operations include: Validated for Zero Waste To Landfill at Platinum-level UL2799; Constructing Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) sewage treatment plant and others.
