Community

�€€€€€€€ CFL�s business interest is not limited to commercial profit alone. Its corporate responsibility does not stop with merely increasing shareholder value. The company has a stakeholder base that goes far beyond its shareholders. Displaying conspicuous social responsibility, it associates with various community development activities in the villages around its facilities.

�€€€€€€€ The company constantly seeks out avenues where it can help the community, and has contributed generously to several social causes, such as providing drinking water to villages, scholarships to meritorious students, free notebooks, fans and computers to government schools, construction of additional classrooms for poor schools, veterinary camps for cattle, free health / blood donation camps for villagers, pulse polio programmes for children, helping in the government�s mid-day meal scheme, etc.

�€€€€€€€ More than anything else, the best way a company can show its concern for the community is by running its business with ethics and accountability, by being a good employer, and by being responsive to its customers� sensitivities and needs. CFL scores high on all these counts.

Environment

Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) are inviolable ingredients of our corporate alues. We treat the neighbourhood as an important stakeholder, and constantly hold ourselves accountable to them. Our facilities ensure utmost safety to the plant personnel, and our workplaces are ergonomically designed to reduce fatigue, create a cheerful ambience, and minimise exposure to the operating personnel. We treat pollution at source, and have several safety procedures dovetailed in our manufacturing processes. Our endeavour is to avoid generation of waste (through better processes), minimise the impact on the environment (through process modifications) and treat the residual impact.

We have pro-actively implemented the Process Safety Management System (PSMS), which helps avoid incidents and accidents where hazardous chemicals are handled. Going beyond mandatory health and safety norms applicable to the industry, we have developed safety standards that have become veritable benchmarks for others.

We are committed to adopting the best available techniques to reduce emission levels, and continuously re-engineer our facilities to minimise the discharge impact.

Visakhapatnam Plant has achieved �1 million safe man-hours� for the 36th time, that included 3 million consecutive safe man-hours for the fifth time. The company�s Visakhapatnam and Ranipet facilities achieved perfect 4-4 scores in recent compliance audits for implementation of the Process Safety Management System (PSMS). The Visakhapatnam facility is also certified for OHSAS 18001:1999, an international standard for occupational health and safety.

CFL diligently discharges its responsibility towards the environment and the neighbourhood:

The DCDA technology at the sulphuric acid plant reduces sulphur oxide emission considerably.
To avoid sulphur dust emission, India�s first-ever liquid sulphur terminal has been installed at the jetty, which also conserves energy by avoiding burning of fossil fuel.
Effluent treatment plants in our facilities totally recycle effluents; and bag filters ensure effective recovery of rock dust.
The Fluorine recovery plant converts fluorine in effluents to hydrofluosilicic acid (a value-added product), a classic example of our �wealth from waste� approach.
Rainwater-harvesting schemes have been implemented to improve ground water availability in the plant premises.
As part of an extensive afforestation drive, lakhs of trees have been planted around our facilities.
