Best-in-class environment, health and safety (EHS) systems and processes are at the core of our work
Best-in-class environment, health and safety (EHS) systems and processes are at the core of our work
At the core of our work is a focus on sustainability. We seek to set new benchmarks not only in operational performance, but also in our ability to safeguard the enviroment from any harm. The protection of environment, employees, and public health and safety is on the top of our organisational agenda. Not only do we implement the best EHS standards, but we also strive to continuously improve as regulations and practices in India and the world evolve. Our biggest advantage is the learning through audits by global pharma and biotech organizations that helps us validate our EHS practices and facilitate further improvements.
