Environment and Safety Mr. P M Murty MD & CEO Asian Paints approaches the environment issue from the perspective of waste minimisation and conservation of resources. Thus, the continued attempt is to reuse, recycle and eliminate waste, which results in less and less waste being generated. Accordingly, our material losses in manufacturing have been reduced substantially over the last few years. Further, the company's four paint plants and the two chemical plants have the ISO 14001 certification for environment management standards. The company's latest manufacturing facility which is situated at Sriperumbudur near Chennai will be certified for ISO 14001 in this financial year 2006-07. All our paint plants have achieved 'zero industrial discharge' capability. This has been achieved by the installation of upgraded effluent treatment facilities and installation of reverse osmosis plants in conjunction with appropriate recycling and reuse schemes. Our emulsion manufacturing facility has also achieved 'zero waste' status. We have adopted the principles of "green productivity". Some of our innovative schemes which enhance green productivity are dealer tinting systems which has resulted in large batch sizes ; bulk storage facility for monomers which reduces wastage; Use of natural gas which is a cleaner fuel ; solvent recovery plants have been set up which has resulted in zero reduction of solvent disposal ; Improved incinerating systems and reverse osmosis. Safety at its best The company has made significant investments in the area of safety over the past several years. It's steadfast commitment to safety is reinforced by the fact that four of Asian Paints plants were conferred with the 'Sword of Honour' by the British Safety Council for the second time in quick succession. The British Safety Council is the world's leading occupational health, safety and environmental organizations, working closely with the world's leading companies in developing safe systems for work. The "Sword of Honour", instituted by the BSC, is recognized the world over as the pinnacle of achievement in safety management systems. CII national conservation awards Another recognition received in FY 2006 was the CII (Confederation of Indian Industries) Award for National Energy Conservation received by the Ankleshwar and Patancheru plants. The award function was held at Vigyan Bhavan, New Delhi, where the Ankleshwar facility in the state of Gujarat was honored with the second prize, while the Patancheru plant in Andhra Pradesh received a certificate of merit. The awards were presented by His Excellency, the President of India, Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam. The CII Award for National Energy Conservation is yet another testimony of Asian Paints commitment towards the continual improvement in our work process to help the environment through the manufacturing excellence programme.
