Sustainability
Committed to sustainable development, environmental protection,
and the well-being of our employees across all operations.
Conducting business with respect for the environment at every stage of our product cycle across all our plants.
Our Green Scheme
GIL does not just offer customers quality products and services. It conducts business with a respect for the environment at every stage of its product cycle across all its plants. As a result, the company is committed to sustainable development.
Graphite & Environment Practices
Safe and sustainable environmental practices are integral to operations at Graphite. Its multi-stage operational process consumes a large amount of energy, generates enormous heat, various gases and dust particles. All these are treated adequately to protect ambient working conditions and the external environment.
Lower Energy Consumption
One tonne of electrode needs approx 6500–7000 units of power and approx 325–425 litres of furnace oil. Over the years GIL has rationalized energy consumption through various means: the installation of 18 MW hydel power plant in Karnataka generating over 50 million units.
Prudent Investments
The company has made substantial investments in various pollution control equipment over the past few years. The equipment installed include ETP incinerators, electrostatic precipitators, dust collectors, scrubbers, fume hoods and oil separators. The investments made and initiatives adopted have resulted in maintaining emission and pollution control levels well within the prescribed limits.
Environment Protection Initiatives
Our comprehensive environmental protection programme ensures sustainable operations across every plant, with proactive measures that exceed regulatory requirements.
Installation of oil separation tanks to prevent oil mix and spills
Monthly ETP test to check performance quality
Rigorous compliance with a documented procedure
Installation of plant to treat human wastes, treated to be used for gardening as manure
