Significant environmental impacts of transportation used for logistical purposes
Diesel and Petrol consumed for transport
of raw materials and for plying of in-house vehicles are accounted for in the calculation
of CO2 emission as per GHG protocol.
Contractor’s vehicles are not
considered in the GHG calculation. The efforts in future shall focus on collection of data
to incorporate in the CO2 emission calculations.
|
Company vehicles including Locos are
monitored for vehicular emission (CO, HC for Petrol and smoke density for Diesel vehicles)
every six months. All the contractors and suppliers vehicles are checked for Pollution
Under Control Certificates at the Factory’s entry gate. The company has put up
vehicle emission monitoring stations at various locations in the township where State
Pollution Control Board checks the vehicles. All Units under EMS follow this practice.
- Particulate Matter, Sulphur Dioxide and Nitrogen Oxides are
not monitored for transport vehicles, as the same is not a legal requirement.
