Our Commitment to Environment Health and Safety (EHS)
Environment
Reducing waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling, and reuse is pivotal to our strategy. This approach aligns with our goal of achieving higher economic productivity through diversification and technological upgrades. We continuously upgrade our infrastructure and retrofit equipment to enhance sustainability, paving the way for a more environmentally conscious and efficient operation.
We employ efficient techniques and recycling methods to manage by-products, effluents, and emissions effectively. Our focus on quality inputs and continuous monitoring has substantially reduced waste generation. Additionally, we’ve enhanced competencies through on-the-job training, both in business and EHS domains.
We have set up an 18.34 MW wind-solar hybrid power plant and have ambitious energy consumption reduction targets under the Perform, Achieve, and Trade (PAT) Scheme. Our goal is to reduce energy consumption while maintaining efficient and sustainable operations.
Health
Ensuring our plant operates in a manner that safeguards the well-being of our employees and the surrounding community.
Our commitment extends to continuous health monitoring of our employees, encompassing both their mental and physical well-being, from the moment they join us until their departure.
Safety
Our commitment to EHS is not just a moral obligation; it’s a strategic imperative. It enhances employee efficiency and contributes to our financial performance. By maintaining EHS compliance, we safeguard against disruptions that could disrupt production and financial value creation.
We’ve cultivated an EHS culture strengthened by certifications like ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and Energy management-50001, which promote process consistency and predictability of outcomes. Our adherence to the Responsible Care initiative underscores our commitment to environmental health and safety.
We continually validate and improve our firefighting measures, and we’ve implemented advanced systems to ensure safety and control in emergencies. Our certifications, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 50001, RSPO, Reach, Halal, and Kosher, exemplify our dedication to rigorous standards and responsible practices.
We recognize the importance of engaging our employees in policy formulation. Through open dialogue and communication, we create awareness of the value of their insights and contributions to shaping our policies.
We are proactive in assessing risks and enhancing employee competence in risk perception through specialized training. Our safety advocacy efforts involve verbal, visual, and textual communication within our facilities. This encourages cooperation among employees, vendors, visitors, and customers to uphold safety standards.
We provide HAZOP and ‘What If’ training to empower employees to proactively identify potential hazards and develop skills to mitigate risks. Our goal is to engage employees in building a robust EHS system.
Our commitment to safety extends to customized training tailored to the roles, positions, experiences, and backgrounds of our workforce. This approach enhances overall preparedness and ensures that every team member has the skills and knowledge needed to operate safely.
We understand the importance of contractor safety management and engage extensively with our contractors to uphold high safety standards. We are dedicated to enhancing contractor and project safety management systems through the deployment of dedicated resources and rigorous audits. This ensures that all contractors follow established protocols.
In an environment that deals with multiple toxic and flammable on-site products, emergency preparedness is paramount. We have invested in state-of-the-art emergency equipment, established protocols for resource mobilization during critical situations, and provided training to our workforce on handling such incidents. Our aim is to deepen a culture of safety, equipping employees with the skills and knowledge needed to identify and mitigate risks effectively.
We are working to enhance SOPs to improve the operational efficiency of boilers, power generating units, and overall risk mitigation. This includes developing a qualified emergency response team and upgrading our firefighting infrastructure.
We constantly monitor water discharge and air pollution using advanced online tools and analyzers. These measures help us maintain a safe environment while moderating waste generation at the source.
At Epigral Limited, EHS is a commitment to building a sustainable future for our business, our employees, and our planet.
