ENVIRONMENT

Our Sustainable Development Policy sets out our commitment to identify, reduce and eliminate wherever possible all the significant impacts of our operations on the environment.

We have a objective to preserve or restore the long-term health, function and viability of the natural environments affected by our operations. This means that, while we are operating and after we have closed a mine site, environments should be able to sustain biodiversity, landscape functions and the needs of local communities and in the long term should be able to return to as close to their original state as possible.

Long before environment consciousness became de rigueur for the corporate world, we at Sesa had commenced initiatives to preserve and protect the environs. Today, we have a full-fledged environment management team to plan, implement and monitor environment management programmes. Broadly, the environment endeavours fall into two categories Resource Conservation and Prevention of Pollution. While At mines, the thrust areas of environment management are Mine Land Reclamation and Water Management, at manufacturing units it is control of dust and gaseous emissions.

We are committed to minimizing these impacts throughout the life of our operations and rehabilitating land once operations have ceased. Always Sesa's priorities are to use resources such as energy and water efficiently, minimize our impacts on biodiversity and landscape functions, and reduce waste and emissions including greenhouse gases.
