Environment

We are an environmentally conscious Company, with a vision to use best in class practices and improve performance year on year through robust operations management. Our efforts are aimed at optimising resource consumption and minimising our environmental footprint. Our strategic goal is to reduce waste generation, increase recycling and maintain environmentally sound operations.

We aim to:

  • Develop, implement and maintain environment management systems aligned with our commitments and beliefs, and consistent with world class standards;
  • Comply, as a minimum, with all applicable regulatory requirements and beyond;
  • Conserve natural resources like raw materials, water and energy by process improvements and technological up gradation;
  • Reduce, recycle and reuse waste;
  • Encourage a culture of continuous improvement and innovation, supported by effective management processes and employee involvement;
  • Set and review targets, assess and report environmental performance, and impart training to employees; and
  • Encourage contractors and suppliers to align with our principles and practices.

Most of our operations are certified with ISO 14001 – Environmental Management Systems. Through these systems, we ensure implementation of our policies from thought to action. Regular internal and external audits are carried out to identify and correct nonconformities.

We have a dedicated team of 108 environmental professionals that works closely with the operating teams for maintaining and improving our environmental performance. Over the years, our operating personnel have developed necessary skills and competencies to use advance tools like TQM, Six Sigma and Quality Circles for implementation of special improvement projects aimed at improving process efficiency, conserving natural resources, efficient waste management and managing Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. It is only because of such robust management systems and efficient operating teams that we have been complying with applicable environmental regulatory requirements and have achieved the stated environmental objectives.
