Training
ITC now invests over 10,500 mandays in a year in EHS training of employees, including contractors’ workmen.
The Confederation of Indian Industry, the National Safety Council and the Loss Prevention Association of India are some of the specialised agencies that assist ITC in raising EHS awareness and standards.
Employee participation
Employees of the Company are continually encouraged
to participate in improving Safety and Occupational Health standards through suggestion
schemes. Safety quizzes, competitions and observance of special events like National
Safety Day, Fire Safety Day and World Environment Day significantly heighten EHS
awareness.
WATER CONSERVATIONA number of ITC Units have significantly reduced specific water consumption, which is a measure of fresh water intake per unit of production. This economy in water consumption has been achieved through global benchmarking, conservation, recycling and use of state-of-the-art technology. ‘Zero’ waste water discharge is an integral part of organisational goals for every ITC Unit. Paper and paperboard manufacture is intrinsically water-intensive. ITC’s Paperboards and Specialty Papers Units account for 92.7 per cent of the total 22.475 million Kilo Litres (KL) of fresh drawn water by the Company annually. ITC is therefore focussing on reducing water consumption in these factories. |
