CSR activities:
Established Practices at BEL-Bangalore Complex:
Our initial endeavours towards a cleaner environment such as water treatment, air monitoring, safety management, bio-gas from canteen waste, green surroundings, etc, have now become an inseparable part of our procedures and a way of life.
The effluent treatment plants, after treating the domestic and process effluents, recycle them for reuse to meet approximately 42% of the water requirement. Bharat Electronics is a Zero Discharge company as no waste water is allowed to leave the factory premises. Around 2,500 Kiloliters of water is treated and recycled every day. This not only avoids pollution but also conserves a precious natural resource.
Closed Conduit System:
By establishing a closed conduit pipeline system, at a cost of Rs.40 lakhs, for carrying primary-treated process effluents from Plating Shops and other Processing Centres to the Centralised Effluent Treatment Plant, BEL has avoided flow of such effluents in open drains, eliminating the related pollution and mixing with rain water.
Solid Waste Management:
A system exists for collection of waste and disposal of the same in an orderly manner after proper segregation. All metal scraps are segregated at the source itself. Hazardous wastes are handled separately and stored in the well-protected central hazardous waste store constructed exclusively for this purpose and disposed as per legal norms. A high level of awareness exists on handling and disposing such materials to take care of the environmental requirements and legislation.
Hazardous Waste Management System:
Management of hazardous waste is a key issue in environmental management. Bharat Electronics has established an impeccable system by constructing an exclusive, well-protected place for safe-keeping the hazardous waste with an enclosed area of 640 sq. meters. Intermediate stores exist in each division wherein identified Hazardous Wastes are quantified and stored. After these items are brought and stored in the central hazardous waste stores, Engineering Services Division disposes them as per the norms of Karnataka State Pollution Control Board. This avoids several kinds of pollution that would normally occur due to spillage, mixing with rain water or inadvertent mixing with other materials, etc. This system in practice effectively prevents pollution caused by hazardous wastes.
Rainwater Harvesting Reservoir:
The Rainwater Harvesting reservoir inaugurated on April 17, 2003, mainly recharges ground water and is expected to supply water for our own use in the future. Such a large-scale rainwater harvesting system with a storage capacity of 170 Million Litres built at a cost of Rs.57 Lakhs, is known to be the first of its kind by an industry in the country. This will help not only our company but our neighbourhood as well.We are moving towards creating greenery in every area, not covered by buildings or other utility. Not to constrain this progress by shortage of water, the organization has entered into an agreement with Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board for supply of treated water from their sewage treatment plant also, with an average supply of 1 million litres per day, thereby ensuring the use of potable water only for potable purposes and non-potable water for other purposes.
Use of Ozone-friendly Materials
The company has successfully substituted the CFC12, CFC 13 and CFC 113 Ozone Depleting substances with less hazardous materials. In future, equipment with CFCs will not be purchased.
