The underlying motto of the Group is “We
give back more to society than what we take from
it”. Going much beyond the statutory requirements
of law for environment protection, the company
has implemented a comprehensive environmental
protection plan in the plant, resulting in near
zero pollution of air and water through treatment
of chemical pollutants, recycling and effluent
control. A team was set up before commissioning
of plant to look into environmental issues. Based
on the Environmental Impact Assessment made by
the team, utmost care was taken to incorporate
the findings and create a man made forest. The
green belt was the outcome of the combined wisdom
and experience of the country’s best experts
in such diverse disciplines as forestry, horticulture,
soil chemistry, ornithology and landscaping.
Creating ecology in a barren saline infested marshy
land, over two-thirds of the plant complex (nearly
700 acres) was earmarked and has been completely
developed into a green belt which extends over
a kilometre with more than 0.35 million trees
of 170 species, eleven water bodies with marine
life, animals and birds. It is a favourite of
nearly 70 species of migratory birds.
In addition to the monitoring stations at Kakinada
Plant, an ambient air monitoring mobile van is
also available to monitor the quality of air outside
the factory premises.
The plant has the state of the art facilities
for continuous monitoring of Ambient Air, Soil
& Ground water quality and analyses of gaseous
emissions and liquid effluents. The data is continuously
analysed and recorded in the computer situated
in the central laboratory.
