As we operate in an increasingly resource-constrained world, being environmentally conscious & efficient are key to our manufacturing. We invest in environment protection measures with a view to maintain the natural environment around our operations. We have successfully installed Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS) at all our nine kilns and have also installed Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Systems (CAAQMS) at all the plants for proper monitoring of all vital pollution parameters on real time basis. The Company ensured availability of the CEMS above 95% at all the nine kilns round the year.
Policy and Goals

The Company is conscious to conserve the environment through a structured and systematic approach. Moving ahead to fulfill the Vision and Mission of the Company, ACL is empowered by the ‘Corporate Environment Policy’ approved by the Board of Directors. The policy is in conformance with the Ministry of Environment and Forests guidelines. In addition, the Climate Change Mitigation Policy and Green Procurement Policy state the approach for Climate Change mitigation and Greening of Supply Chain.

All our manufacturing locations have environment team, equipped with laboratory facilities to enable the complete monitoring of stack emissions, ambient air quality, noise level and water quality. These teams are also responsible for implementing various environment initiatives at the units.
