NOCIL: Leading the Way in ESG Commitment
NOCIL is more than just a company that complies with environmental regulations. We are committed to pushing the boundaries of sustainable business practices and integrating cutting-edge technologies, including green chemistry. Our dedicated team of experienced researchers at our state-of-the-art Research Centre is focused on advancing environmental research and promoting sustainable solutions.
As a responsible corporate citizen, we have embraced the ‘5S Workplace Organization Method’ to enhance productivity, ensure safety, and minimize waste. To maintain a sustainable environment, we follow the ‘3R’ approach: reduce, reuse, and recycle, emphasizing pollution prevention and effective waste management.
Corporate social responsibility (CSR)
“ MORE THAN AN OBLIGATION, MORE THAN A DUTY “
Fulfilling Corporate Social Responsibility is our group’s second nature.
Social Responsibility in itself is a feeling that we belong to the people at large and more so to the people we serve. The satisfaction of giving is supreme when we expect nothing in return. This giving comes from unconditional urge to do something meaningful for the Society. The group has always held this thought close to its heart. We have strived for improvement in conditions faced by the needy and the poor. We fully believe that such acts of giving back to the Society are at the core of a balanced life. At Arvind Mafatlal Group, we consider our contribution as a humble tribute to what Society has given us. We have pledged our resources in various sectors and are striving continuously with the sole objective of creating an environment of well-being in all spheres of life. The group has been implementing a range of CSR activities over the last fifty years, in areas like healthcare, education, women’s upliftment in rural India and environment protection.
Health, Safety & Environment (HSE)
Safeguarding Lives and the Environment: NOCIL’s Uncompromising HSE Commitment
As a proud holder of the Responsible Care logo, NOCIL remains dedicated to continuous improvements in environmental protection, health, safety, and secure transportation of raw materials and finished products. We prioritize process safety and create a work environment that adheres to the highest standards of Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE), ensuring the well-being of our employees.
At NOCIL, process safety is of utmost importance. Before any plant activities commence, we diligently implement established Pre-Start Up Safety Review (PSSR) processes. In the event of process safety incidents, we conduct thorough investigations utilizing methodologies such as HAZOP/HAZAN/LOPA. The insights gained from these investigations are effectively implemented, further strengthening our commitment to safety.
Our unwavering dedication to HSE goes beyond compliance; it is a vital part of our DNA. By prioritizing the protection of lives and the environment, we not only meet regulatory requirements but also inspire confidence in our stakeholders.
NOCIL’S POLICY ON HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION
It is the policy of NOCIL LTD. to conduct its activities in such a way as to take the foremost account of the Health and Safety of its employees and of other persons working in its plants, to give due regard to the conservation of the environment and to comply with all the relevant statutory requirements.
NOCIL attaches high priority to this policy, which is equally important as other primary business objectives and its commitment to Health & Safety shall be part of the Annual Report.
The following key points are fundamental to the general health, safety and environmental conservation policy. Every employee should be familiar with them and should support them.
- All accidents and damage to health should be prevented. The employee, at every level is responsible for the observance of the measures designed to prevent accidents, damage to health and avoidable environmental pollution.
- All employees must ensure that they work with due regard for their own safety and health, and that of others and integrate health & safety in all decisions including those dealing with procurement & recruitment. Their attitude to safety will be a factor in determining their career advancement. They should do their best to minimise environmental pollution.
- Guidelines and procedures with regard to safety, health and environment are of great importance. Every employee should know and follow them.
- Training, information and communication are essential elements in meeting safety, health and environmental objectives. To this end, NOCIL provides training as well as channels of communication at every level in the organisation (e.g. the Central Safety Committee, Department Safety Meetings, Department Safety Plans, Safety Newsletters, Safety Observers and Safety Week etc.).
- NOCIL uses its best endeavors to ensure that contractors working on its behalf do so whilst maintaining satisfactory health, safety and environmental standards.
- All injuries, accidents, near miss accidents and incidents endangering environment must be reported and thoroughly investigated. Health and Hygiene Audit, and Safety and Environmental Audits form important tools in maintaining high health standards, improving safety performance and environmental control.
- Every effort should be made to keep the work-place clean and tidy as it is an essential requirement for safe and healthy working.
- Every effort should be made to provide products, together with practical advice on their application, which will not cause injury to health or have undue impact on the environment when used in accordance with this advice.
- Full account should be taken of health, safety and environmental aspects when developing plans for existing as well as new activities.
It is my conviction that the above Policy and key points are of equal benefit to the individual employee and to NOCIL as a Company.
