New Delhi: Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) pitches for better environment management in its steel plants and mines. Environment Management Division (EMD) – the nodal agency of SAIL regularly monitors different parameters to ensure a clean environment in the SAIL’s operating units. 
 
In last five years EMD ensured 15% reduction of Particulate Matter (PM) emission to improve the air quality at SAIL Steel Plants. EMD is working on projects to reduce Carbon-di-Oxide (CO2) footprint, which results in reduction of Specific CO2 emission by almost 3% in last 5 years. SAIL is intensively working on technology development to mitigate emission effects in environment. The company has substantially invested on wide range of pollution control equipment like Cast House De-fuming, Dry fog dust suppression, Electrostatic precipitators, Dust extraction system, Mobile sprinklers, and others to improve the quality of air in steel plants and mines. Besides ensuring better air quality, SAIL also monitors the water quality and sound levels in all its units. 
Going by its obligation SAIL meet environmental norms set by the statutory bodies to run its steel plants and mines. The company has a definite Corporate Environmental Policy that lays emphasis on being a responsible corporate citizen for environment. 
 
On the occasion of World Environment Day 2019 EMD reaffirms its commitment for better environment. This year’s World Environment Day theme is – Air Pollution. In line with that EMD carried out various awareness development programmes for mass, especially for the under privileged children in villages.
