Reliance endeavours for excellence in environmental management and strives towards sustainable business development. Reliance continues to be committed to develop and implement Environmental Management System (EMS) throughout the Group to measure, control and reduce environmental impact. The international environmental accreditation based management system covers all its manufacturing divisions. In a majority of cases this has been integrated with ISO: 9001:2008 Quality Management System and ISO-18001:2007 OSHA management systems.

RIL is fully compliant with various environmental protection and health and safety laws and regulations. In its constant endeavour to be fully compliant with all regulatory standards, RIL has instituted a compliance management system, which ensures that the Company is in full compliance to all applicable legal requirements. Prior to the implementation of new projects the potential environmental impacts are assessed. The environment impact assessment and risk analysis are performed for all new and major expansion projects and necessary measures are incorporated to mitigate adverse environmental impacts at the planning stage of project.

In line with global best-practices, RIL reports its externally verified environmental performance based on Global Reporting Initiative guidelines. It achieved continuous reductions in emissions and discharges and an increase in effluent and waste recycling.
