ITC's TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE
ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE

Voluntary Charter on Corporate Responsibility for Environmental Protection - Ministry of Environment and Forests & Central Pollution Control Board

The Ministry of Environment & Forests of the Government of India and the Central Pollution Control Board have issued a voluntary charter on Corporate Responsibility for Environmental Protection for seventeen industry sectors in India which identifies measures to be adopted to effectively combat pollution. Our performance vis-à-vis each of the requirements for the large Pulp & Paper mills is stated below:
1. Wastewater discharge to be less than
100 KL/tonne of paper

2. Utilisation of treated effluent for irrigation wherever possible

While the Kovai unit utilises its entire treated effluent for irrigation, Bhadrachalam and Tribeni units are also progressing rapidly towards achieving this milestone.

3. Discharge of Adsorbable Organic Halides (AOX) to be 1.0 Kg/tonne by 2008
AOX levels this year has been reduced to a mere 0.0074 Kg/tonne of production in our Bhadrachalam mill, the only unit in India to have implemented ECF & Ozone Bleaching technologies. AOX is not applicable to any other unit in ITC.
