Sustainability
Health and Safety
We, at ICL, realize that our natural resources are limited and while we have to perform our business as a manufacturing concern, we also have a duty and responsibility to protect and preserve the nature and environment. The company provides and maintains, so far has practicable equipment, systems and working conditions are concerned, a safe and risk free environment to all its employees, visitors, contractors, and the local public.
Environmental and Energy Sustainability
Management has maintained its strong commitment to a safe environment in its operations throughout the year. We apply strict environmental criteria in all our activities, thereby ensuring that projects are integrated into the community with the least possible impact on the environment and the maximum social consensus. Energy conservation is a key issue world-wide. Through successful Energy Conservation Management, we can vastly reduce energy wastage, bring down the cost of production, and ensure we respect the limited resources of our planet.
ICL has taken important measures starting with the formation of an Energy Conservation Task Team (ECTT) to identify various conservation measures and constraints. The team constantly analyzes system design, process design, and re-engineering of various factory operations in order to make the processes more efficient and minimize wastage of resources. Through the implementation of powerful IT solutions (e.g. SAP), the company is moving ever close towards a paperless environment. Through awareness we have arisen to confront the challenges to ensure a sustainable future for generations to come.
