- Maintaining an open dialogue with local communities, ensuring responsive processes are in place to effectively address their concerns about air quality
- Upholding the highest standards of environmental responsibility by ensuring strict adherence to our environmental licence obligations
- Our advanced continuous emission monitoring systems are directly connected to the servers of the Pollution Control Board, providing real-time updates and transparency on our air emissions
