56 The range of initiatives and critical HSE decisions implemented by us in process development and manufacturing, coupled with the investment made over the last three years, enables us to confidently scale-up and support business opportunities. For example, we have established a state-of-the-art laboratory for process safety investigations, which helps us develop and scale-up reactive chemistries. Similarly, the zero liquid discharge facility and well-designed energy conservation measures highlight our attention to HSE as a way of contributing to operational excellence. Here are important examples that demonstrate our approach towards HSE for environmental sustainability and occupational health & safety. Investment of USD 5M in last 3 years Prevent illnesses due to exposure of harmful chemicals and reduce air emissions. Prevent workplace injuries and illnesses Process simplification and digitization Resources and energy conservation Early detection of hazards and fire prevention and protection Minimize pollution and Promote Green Chemistry Championing environmental sustainability As a company in the CDMO space, with operations that can potentially impact the environment, we seek to mitigate these impacts by ensuring that all our facilities meet a strict set of environmental regulations and continuously adapt our processes to align with new regulatory and customer requirements. We also attach importance to the efficient use of water, energy, and materials. We are committed to protecting the environment and actively seek opportunities to minimize resource consumption and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and waste generation. We demonstrate the precautionary principle approach in the following ways: • Taking proactive measures such as enhancing zero liquid discharge (ZLD) capabilities and achieving zero waste to landfill initiatives. • Implementing green chemistry and measuring the ‘greenness index’ of the processes that we develop. • Measuring the impact on the environment and embedding the assessment in each step of process development and technology transfer. • Actively pursuing energy conservation programs and prioritizing procurement of electricity through renewable sources.
