BEYOND TREATMENT
T DR. REDDY’S, Safety, Health
A and Environment is an integral
part of the business. Commitment
to environmentally appropriate behaviour is
an important part of its values. This
commitment is expressed in the Safety,
Health and Environment (SHE) Policy,
which aims to protect the environment in
which we operate and to ensure health and
safety of its employees, contractors, visitors
and the community.
Over the years, Dr. Reddy’s SHE practices
ZERO DISCHARGE facility at Bulk unit
have evolved from an end-of-pipe
approach— treating generated waste—to
one that attempts to minimise pollutants at
the source. The SHE management now
emphasises three kinds of responses: Avoid,
Minimise and Treat.The most preferred
response is to avoid the generation of waste
by better processes; then to minimize the
impact on environment, wherever
possible, through process modifications and
lastly to treat whatever is the residual
impact.
