Solid waste disposal site
We have invested in the required
measures to ensure a safe environment
for our people to work and the
surrounding communities to live in. We
accord high priority to health, be it of our
employees or others connected with us.
We are careful about what gaseous,
liquid or solid wastes we discharge.
During the year, we took the following
initiatives towards:
Improving Safety:
i. Reduced the identified ‘hot spots’
across the divisions
ii. Conducted fire adequacy audit
through Loss Control Association,
Vadodara
iii. Acquired a state-of-the-art multi-
purpose fire tender
Improving Health:
iv. Installed a weather monitoring
system to provide online atmospheric
data and enhance our response to
gas leaks
v. Organised workshops by medical
doctors to promote a healthy life-
style
vi. Imparted relevant knowledge to
employees about diseases and their
prevention
Improving Environment:
vii. Reduced solvent losses, improved
yields and reduced effluent load
viii. Reduced water consumption by
about 20%
ix. Joined hands with a cement
manufacturing company to use fly
ash generated
