Sustainability and employee well-being

In this framework, an integrated Health, Safety, and Environment Management System (HSEMS) is emphasized and presented as key to workplace safety and occupational health best practices.
Environmental Initiatives and Responsible Practices
The company’s concern for sustainability extends to EIL’s environmental initiatives, in particular, on waste management, reduction of GHG emissions, and achieving zero liquid discharge from its operations.
