Management Approach
We follow 5R principles to minimise waste, integrating them into our waste management hierarchy. We sort and monitor the waste generated into five different streams – hazardous waste, non-hazardous waste, electronic waste, battery waste and bio-medical waste. We have established clear SOPs for responsible waste management and train our employees in waste reduction. All kinds of hazardous and e-waste is sent to the authorised recyclers to avoid landfill disposal.
