Sustainability is ensuring that future generations that live
on our planet can meet their needs. Any business with a long
term outlook must act responsibly to the environment and to
society. Our commitment to sustainability is built on the three
pillars of Safety, Health, and Environment. We pride ourselves
on being a responsible corporate citizen in ensuring a safe,
secure, and sustainable world.. Safety
Given that we handle a large
number of products, some of them hazardous, ensuring safety is a
critical part of our operations. Safety is a part of each
employee’s DNA. We have stringent policies to ensure safety
standards are met or exceeded in all cases. A detailed
assessment has been conducted on hazards and risks involved in
manufacturing activities. Our plants are OHSAS 18001 certified.
We have a safety crisis
management team and emergency response team in all our
manufacturing locations. Employees are continuously trained and
updated on safety methods. Transporters are trained and equipped
to handle emergencies during transit of hazardous products.
Surprise mock drills are conducted periodically to check our
ability to respond to emergency situations.
Health
People are our most important asset and their health and well
being is critical to the growth of our organization. Periodical
health checks are conducted for our employees. In addition,
employees exposed to certain chemicals undergo special and more
intensive health checkups. Each location has a health center
that is manned by trained practitioners well versed with the
health issues faced in an industry of our nature.
Environment
Climate change is one of the most critical challenges facing the
world today. It is our endeavour to minimize the impact of our
operations on the environment. Our strategy to ensure this is
to:
- Maximise the use of natural resources which are
renewable, including the use of solar energy to reduce our
carbon footprint.
- Reduce air pollution through the installation of
ESPs and other equipment
- Improve the efficiency of our manufacturing operations
to reduce and eliminate waste and effluents
- Reduce water usage which is becoming a scarce resource
Our plants are ISO 14001 certified. |
