Introduction Environment Risk Management & Aspects Four Types of EIA EIA of Cement Industry Monitoring and Compliance Ambuja : Sustainable Development

 Founded by Narotam Sekhsaria in 1983 with a partner, Suresh Neotia. Manufacture and market cement and clinker for both domestic and export markets Most profitable cement company in India and lowest cost. First cement company to first to receive the ISO 9002 quality certification. Environment protection measures are at par with the best in the world. India's largest exporter of cement. Introduce the concept of bulk cement movement by sea in India.

Reduction in Clinker factor

Improving thermal energy efficiency and process technology

Optimizing fuel composition , including the use of wastes as fuel

Waste Heat Recovery

Limited waste generated Sold to vendors for disposal Bio-Medical wastes to waste treatment plants Transport according to regulations Liquid fuels stored in tanks as per requirements

No solid waste will be generated from the cement manufacturing process Dust collected from air pollution control equipment will be 100% recycled in process Sludge from Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) will be used as manure for green belt development

Water is utilized in plant for cooling, kiln exhaust gas conditioning, and sprinkling in coolers, injection into linker cooler and in cement mills. As a decline in ground water levels, and under certain situations, deterioration in its quality Rain water harvesting structures have been built at 4 out of 5 integrated plants. Areas of consumption lies in cooling in Captive Power Plants. Closed circuit plant cooling systems which allow continuous recycling of water utilized in the plant cooling Domestic waste water from township at all integrated plants is treated through Sewage Water Reclamation Plants, and 100% reused in plant cooling, dust suppression and horticulture. There is no water discharge. The waste water is treated and recycled back.

Strategic environmental assessment Integrates environmental considerations into higher levels of decision making. It is systematic analysis of environmental effects of development policies, plans programs and other proposed strategic actions Regional EIA Integrates environmental concerns into development planning for a geographic region Sector EIA Addresses specific environmental problems that may be encountered in planning and implementing sector development projects Project level EIA Development activity in isolation and the impact it exerts on the receiving environment

Project concept Pre-feasibility Feasibility Design and engineering Implementation Monitoring and evaluation

Policies and strategies

Regional sector development plans

Project level EIA effects

Social Health, demography, recreation, consumption, culture values

Economic Markets, technology, resource management, Industrial structure, regional development, business practices, trade

Environmental Global environment systems, ecosystems, habitats, resources, air, water, soil

Globally cement industry generates 5 to 6% of total GHG Emissions Cement manufacturing releases mainly CO2, the major GHG, small amount of Nox is also released 1 tonne cement production generates 0.6 to 1 tonne CO2 Calcination:45-50%, fuel combustion: 40-45%, power generation and use:10-20% Indian cement industry contributes annually 30% of GHG emission by industry sector and 18% of total GHG emission by Energy use sector

ACL proposed Cement Plant (Clinker 3.0 MTPA; Cement 4.5 MTPA) along with Captive Power Plant (50 MW) and WHRB (9 MW) at Tehsil Mundwa, District Nagaur, Rajasthan. Total land required(cement plant & colony including railway siding): 285.10 ha (Already in possession) Cost of Project: ~Rs.15000 million Category A project Considered in front of Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) (Industry-1) for ToR approval on 28.08.2010 Terms of References (ToR) issued by MoEF, New Delhi for preparation of the Draft EIA / EMP Report vide letter No. -11011/394/2010-IA-II (I) dated16.09.2010 Public Hearing: 29.12.2010 Considered for Issuing EC on 25.03.2011 Environment Clearance (EC) issued on 05.05.2011

Logistics Climate Change Water Energy

Local Commun ities

Continuous online monitoring system, water management and dust management were other things taken up by Ambuja Cements

 Green Rating Project (GRP) of the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE)
Benchmarking energy and GHG emissions with Best Available Techniques

Carbon Disclosure Project, CDP CII & WWF

Voluntary Reduction initiatives by participating in CDP

PEP System
Used by Holcim to rate its group comapnies Based on Key elements of ISO 14001 Online Questionnaire Environment Performance Index Score

CDP REEP Survey

Identify best practice in policy and regulation in China, Brazil, India and South Africa. Ambuja Cements has been identified as one of the bestperforming companies in the CDP 2009

The average CO2 emissions for ACL was .57 MT CO2/MT as against industry average of 0.68

Ambuja Nagar: cited as the best example for the Indian Cement Industry MoEF acknowledged it with the first National Award for Prevention of Pollution in 1991.

Certifications And Best Practices

Zero discharge of waste water

This award was once again accorded in 20022003 for the Unit at Ropar
100% recycling of sewage

ISO 9000 ISO 140001 OHSAS 18001

100% restoration of mined area

NCCBM AWARD to Ambuja Nagar, Gujarat Best Environmental Excellence in Plant Operation for the year 2008-09

Recognition for high productivity, low power consumption, low fuel consumption, best pollution control and environmental preservation effort

Emissions well below statutory standards.

Regular check for environment al performance

Economic Growth

Ecological Balance

Social Progress

Increased standard of living in the short term

Net gain among human, natural & economic resources to support future generations in the long term

 Cement production and sales volumes increased by 6.9% and 8.2% respectively, to reach 20.1 million tonnes and 20.3 million tonnes Clinker production increased 23.4%, to 14.1 million tonnes Exports were 500,000 tonnes compared to 750,000 tonnes last year Net Profit for 2010 was 3.8% higher than the previous year, at Rs.1,264 crore Dividend paid out at 130% (Rs.2.60 per share). Total payout of 462 crore Received Rs. 51.44 Crore as subsidy in the form of excise, sales tax exemption etc.

 For sustainable development, co-processing done in cement kilns. Co-processing is the use of wastes as raw materials or as a source of energy, or both

Co-processing helps in the following ways:

 Replacing natural resources used in cement production Providing a solution to industry and society by efficient destruction of waste in an eco-friendly manner  Reducing overall green house gas emissions  Minimising land-filling of waste

 The Company has been publishing Corporate Sustainable Development Report (CSDR) for past three years since 2007 An annual reporting cycle is maintained for the report and is brought out along with Annual Report for the company The contents of the report include both core and additional indicators as per Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3 format ( A+ level of reporting) 2006 version ACL has a robust mechanism for reporting performance in all three areas of evaluation, i.e., economic, environmental and social
