SUPPLIER ASSESSMENT

At BVCPL we have championed Social and Environmental re-

sponsibility by developing strategies and policies aligning with

the Company’s sustainable vision. Including this in our supply

chain agenda, we have formulated procurement guidelines that

require us to audit new suppliers based on Environment, health ,

safety , Ethics parameters before bringing them on board.

We have developed one of the important policies to vouch for sustainable procurement -

“Sustainable Procurement Policy” .These policies highlight our expectations on critical sus-

tainability performance parameters such as health and safety, human rights, integrity, and envi-

ronmental sustainability to name a few. The policies have been created in accordance with in-

ternational benchmarks and best practices

Sustainable Procurement Policy:

To align with our sustainability commitment, we have developed a Sustainable Procurement

Policy ,which is an extension of our values; applicable to all our suppliers. We expect our sup-

pliers to operate in accordance with the principles as outlined in this Policy , while adhering to

all applicable laws and regulations.

In the policy, we go beyond legal compliance requirements by drawing upon internationally

recognised standards in order to identify and define best practices from across the globe. The

policy outlines our expectations with regards to ethics, business integrity, human rights, health

& safety, environment, the local community, quality of product & operations, human rights as-

pects like collective bargaining, child labour, forced labour and other parameters. We periodi-

cally review our procurement policy for improvement and to ensure that it continues to help us

move towards our vision.

Supplier Assessment Methodology:

We have been striving hard to bring about robust policies in place

to assess our suppliers based on sustainability criteria. In line

with the key policies, we have designed an extensive question-

naire with all our suppliers to help us assess their sustainability.

The questionnaire evaluates the supplier based on four different

parameters such as Degree of compliance to ethics and legal re-

quirements, Supplier’s management maturity, Supplier’s level of

Environment, Health and Safety Performance.

Key Results of the Supplier Survey:

According to Our established Procedure , Online Assessment in

terms of Environment, Health, Safety, Ethics , Labour Law, Hu-

man Rights aspects carried out Once in every 03 Years. In 2019-

20 We have Performed Assessment of all the supplier.. Further to

that, In FY19, we have carried out Physical Site Audit of three

supplier to check their compliance level. We are working closely

with our suppliers to better their performance.

Having induced environmental sustainability as an integral part of our business op-

erations, we continue to find and apply measures that can reduce and optimise re-

source utilisation and reduce emissions. As a part of BVCPL long term goal to build

a cleaner and greener planet, we have invested in environmental sustainability, mak-

ing it a key aspect in our manufacturing processes. We focus relentlessly on improv-

ing productivity, energy efficiency and maximising sustainability at our manufactur-

ing facilities through usage of state of the art technologies and processes. Our tech-

nologies and processes help us continually monitor and analyse our environmental

footprints in various locations. Resource efficiency and environmental impact reduc-

tion is at the core of our sustainability strategy, all our green targets being focused

on these two aspects.

In our efforts to invest in process efficiency and energy management, we have in-

vested good amount in helping us in reaching our environmental sustainability tar-

gets. We have worked relentlessly to increase our renewable energy. We pride our-

selves in being compliant with all local, regional and national level regulations in

matters of environmental sustainability.

Our management approach to the environment is focused on three areas: reducing the

impact of our footprint, embedding safety, health, and environmental considerations


WATER AND ENERGY

Water is a primal part of our operations at BVCPL; one of our key material aspects. We

primarily use water for domestic purposes and for industrial processes such as manufactur-

ing, cooling, heating, cleaning etc. We are committed to contributing to sustainable use of

water within our facilities. Our water management agenda focuses on efficient and effec-

tive usage of water resources at both process level, as well as domestic level. The main

source of water used in BVCPL is from the Ground water supply .We continually monitor,

review and analyse water consumption across our operations to understand consumption

patterns. Monitoring also helps us identify focus points, to further develop our water man-

agement framework.

In 2019-20, we consumed a total of 20,523 KL against production of 12589 MT of pro-

duction which was 5.88 percent lower than the 2018-19 with the consumed water 19,138

MT against the production of 11,051 MT of production. .

At BVCPL , we fully understand the energy intensiveness of the chemical sector, thus

making it a key material aspect to our business. All our processes are aligned to improve

energy efficiency; helping us in our vision to mitigate climate change. Our energy goals

are focused on three key parameters- use of innovative technologies, conservation of ener-

gy and development of efficient projects. Through our Green goals, we envision to reduce

more than 7 % percent of our energy consumption by the year 2020. Our key projects to

manage energy consumption include interventions to reduce the usage of renewable Fuel

such as Biomass Briquettes. Energy Efficiency being one of the key aspects of our sustain-

ability agenda, we have strategized various measures to reduce specific energy consump-

tion, thus helping us meet our green goals and targets.

In 2019-20, a total of 352.59 KWH of energy was consumed considering both the Facili-

ties which was 7.71 % lesser than last year consumption of 381.65 KWH. Reduction of

7.71 mt was considered based on the production volumes

CLIMATE CHANGE

WATER

CDP formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project. is an international, non profit organ-

isation providing the only global system for companies and cities to measure, dis-

close, manage and share vital environmental information. Through CDP we

demonstrate BVCPL’s commitment to action relating to carbon emissions reduc-

tion, both in theory and in practice.

We aim to communicate our strategic direction, motivation, goals, development

and progress relating to sustainability with our stakeholders in a transparent way.

As part of our CDP Climate Change and water submission, we report annually on

greenhouse gas emissions, energy use and the risks and opportunities associated

with climate change. Since we began participating in CDP Climate Change in

2017, we have disclosed our greenhouse gas emissions and water criteria every

year, in addition to our reduction strategy and performance for both the investor

and supply chain surveys.

In 2019, we have scored a C for Climate Change Performance and B– for the Wa-

ter Criteria which is better performance compared to Industry Average and one lev-

el higher than what we have achieved in 2018 Assessment.

The CDP Score Report allows BVCPL to benchmark and compare our progress

towards environmental stewardship against peers, in order to continuously im-

prove our climate change governance and stewardship.


In the Chemical Industry, waste management is an extremely prudent aspect. At BVCPL,

we have developed a robust waste management framework to meet with the sustainabil-

ity challenges of the chemical industry. Waste Reduction is a key aspect of our climate

change mitigation agenda; all our material use and manufacturing processes are conduct-

ed in a conscious manner to yield minimal waste. Following the concepts of Reduce, Re-

use and Recycle, we go beyond compliance in ensuring effective waste management.

The waste generated from our facilities is well within the permissible limits required by

local, regional and national norms.

Our waste management strategy includes collection, segregation, management and dis-

posal. We have an in-house effluent treatment plant (ETP) to treat waste water generated

at our facilities. The biological and chemical sludge generated from the ETP disposed off

in Landfilling.

Identified and recognized the waste stream of the product which have good calorific val-

ue with less carbon emission. This grade of waste stream is disposed to cement industries

where it is utilized as fuel in cement kiln after co-processing at government authorized

co-processor

In 2019-20, a total of 1087.24 MT of waste was sent for co-processing considering both the

Facilities which was 207 % higher than last years value of 312.935 MT.

Likewise, a total of 253.2 MT of waste was sent for land filling Considering both the Fa-

cilities which was 166.66 % higher than last years value of 82.675 MT.

SUCCESS STORIES - WASTE TO ENERGY

We have introduced a new metric for this current strategy period, which is

the percentage of our total waste volume (tonnes) that is used to generate

off-site energy. We Are making significant progress in our efforts to con-

vert waste to energy.

In order to achieve this , we have Identified and recognized the waste

stream of the product which have good calorific value with less carbon

emission.

This grade of waste stream is sold out to cement industries where it is uti-

lized as fuel in cement kiln after co-processing at government authorized

co-processor.

During the FY 2019-20 1087.24 MT of our waste volume (tonnes) was

used for off-site energy generation which is more than double the FY 2018

Recognized the key composition in Aqueous waste from one of our product

Undecavertol and separated out from the process stream through adequate

washing and separation technique.

Product is produce through Grignard reaction which generate enormous amount

of inorganic salt which was the considered as unused by-product. This salt was

identified as Magnesium Chloride and having good consumption in chemical

industries. Salt is sold out to authorise end user generating the revenue out of it.

This Salts was once generated and disposed of as wastes. Markets were found,

and supplier agreement were put in place for the sale of these salts. In 2019-20,

Total 1811 MT of By Product (Waste) was identified as useful feedstock for

other industry and sold by complying the quality norms.

converted into reusable Feed-stock.


SUCCESS STORIES - PROCESS WASTE RECYCLE

We continue to intensify our efforts to identify our waste -recycling opportuni-

ties. In two of our Fragrance Ingredients (Salicylic Acid Esters) called Amyl

Salicylate and Hexyl Salicylate reaction process , identified the water waste

stream line process which is recycled back to the process. Considering both the

product together , Around 421 KL/ Year of Waste water continuously recycled

back into the process.

Recognized the key composition in Aqueous waste from Melonal and separated

out the water and salt through distillation technique. Water is recycled back to

the process and salt is sold to Authorized end user. By this way 1071 KL/Year

water is distiiled out recovered and recycled back into the process.

relentlessly to minimise effluents and maximise recycling and reusing activities

within our facilities.

We continually monitor, review and manage our effluent performance to find

gaps in the system. To manage effluents generated from our facilities, we have

put in place an effluent treatment plant. Our effluent management strategy has

helped us reduce impact on water resources near our operational areas.

We have an in-house effluent treatment plant (ETP) to treat waste water generat-

ed at our facilities. The biological and chemical sludge generated from the ETP is

then disposed off in Landfilling.

Combine Capacity of ETP plant of both the Manufacturing Facility is 6300 KL/

Year which include 4500 KL / Y for Unit I and 1800 KL/Y for another Unit.

In 2019-20, we have treated 5246 KL of Effluent and discharged into common

Effluent Treatment Facility which was 9.6 % higher than the previous year treat-

ed effluent qty of 4786 KL.

In order to recycle the domestic water, we have installed STP (Sewage Treatment

Plant) at our manufacturing facility. It includes biological processes to remove pol-

lutants. Its aim is to produce an environmentally safe sewage water, called effluent,

and a solid waste, called sludge or biosolids, suitable for disposal or reuse

Water from the admin buildings, toilets, baths, showers, canteens, sinks and col-

lected first in Collection tank and treated well in STP plant.

Treated water from the STP Recycled back and reused in the toilets blocks and gar-

dening purpose. This led to the reduction in water consumption of 1736 KL in

2019-20.

EMISSIONS - Scope 1 & 2

At BVCPL , we recognise the importance of emission manage-ment in the chemical industry, making it a key material aspect to our business . We are the signatories to “Responsible Care” and thereby making our commitment public. We have also report-ed fully for the third time our carbon emissions via the Carbon Discloser Project.

Over the past five years, we have better understood the difficulty in achieving year on- year energy reductions and Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions savings. Our best opportunities for further improvements are through increased efficiency and fuel use changes, and we will focus on these areas in the coming years. We will also install new technology to identify potential savings and explore new technolo-gies to achieve our goals.

Our sustainability vision and our continual efforts have helped us reduce a con-siderable amount of emissions. To manage our carbon impact and achieve our emission reduction goals, we have strategized a plethora of measures including interventions such as replacing fossil fuel with biomass in boilers, utilisation of pitch in boilers to enable the reuse of organic waste as fuel and many more. In 2017, we started to report our CO2 emissions for both scope 1(direct energy) and Scope 2(Indirect energy) from purchased electricity), Additionally , during 2017 , we started a project to screen our significant Scope 3 emissions( broad scope of upstream and downstream emissions). During 2019, our CO2 emissions (Scope 1 & 2) in Tonnes per tonne of produc-tion reduced 0.09 % for Scope 1 and 7.61 % for Scope 2 from the prior year .

EMISSIONS– Scope 3

Understanding our Scope 3 Green House gas Emissions (GHGs) Scope 3 GHS emissions are much broader than Scope 1 and 2 and can include anything from employee travel to “upstream” emissions, embodied in the products we purchase and process, and : downstream” emissions, which are associated with trans-porting and disposing of the products we sell. Since 2017, we have initiated reporting Scope 3 emissions along-with Scope a and 2 under CDP. Assessment of Scope 3 emissions done based on the GHG Protocol and then disclosed in CDP plateform. To understand our critical Scope 3 emissions, we calculated annu-al emissions (from 1st April 2019 to 30th March 2020) from a range of upstream Scope 3 Activities, including:

• Downstream Transportation and distribution (Sold Product) • Upstream Transportation and distribution (Purchased Goods) • Business Travel • Employee Commuting The downstream Scope 3 activities such as waste generated within operations, were excluded from the assessment (for reason of practicality and resources) but may be included in future evalua-tions.

Our total Scope 3 emissions for the period FY19-20 were calculated at 25,28,766 tonnes of CO2, which is as usual greater than our Scope 1 and 2 emis-sions combined( for the same period) .Emissions from the Downstream Trans-portation and Distribution accounted for approximately 67.04 % of total Scope 3 Emissions whereas emissions from Upstream transportation contributing 32.95 %Contribution of the Emissions from the Business Travel and Employee Commut-ing is very minor which was 0.001 % and 0.002 respectively. A summary of the main Scope 3 emissions in shown below.

Scope 3 GHG Emissions


Intervention :- Earlier, we were using Water + Steam jet Ejector, where we were consuming 45 Kgs/hr/system of steam. We have introduced the Dry Vacuum Pump in-stead of conventional Vacuum system, which is run by Electric Power.

Impact :- There is steam saving 90Kgs/hr i.e 960 Kg/day Steam which makes Briquet saving of 12000 Kgs/month. It lead to the total reduction in carbon emission of 14,900 Kgs per month. Also there is no steam in process, so we do not have to withdraw water for generation of Steam and hence there lesser water drawing from Ground which makes water saving by 80 KL/Month. Another Environment Friendly installation we have made was Close loop vacuum system (InDirect Steam) instead of Direct steam Ejector, so conden-sate is recycled back into the system and recover the Energy of Condensate & also required to withdraw less ground water. This is having positive impact on the environment with the water saving of 12 KL/ month and 1700 Kgs less carbon emissions.

At BVCPL, we apply green chemistry principles to

all of our chemical transformations. The use of

Green Chemistry principles is an essential part of

our process-development activities. We have placed particular focus on princi-

ple of Green chemistry , covering catalysis . As a means of achieving lower en-

ergy requirements, reduced waste and other benefits, this principle is particu-

larly important because it touches on several other principles of green chemis-

try.

We continue to invest in areas such as catalytic chemistry organo—inorgano

and metalo or in combination to devise cleaner processes. To better manage

our overall environmental impacts, we have established couple of environ-

ment friendly , recyclable green catalyst for some of our salicylates group

products.

A tangible benefit achieved last year which allowed us to reduce the waste by

0.06 tonnes/ tonnes to 0.022 tonnes / tonnes of production of salicylates

which end up with the waste reduction of 63 % from this product stream.

SUCCESS STORIES - SUSTAINABLE PROCESS & SOURCING

Renewable Sourcing Green Chemistry

We use approximately 03 different sustainably-produced raw materials each

year to produce our renewable products at our manufacturing premises. Pro-

portions of individual raw materials in selected product portfolio vary from

year to year, depending on their availability, price, and specific market re-

quirements. These three renewable raw material consist of Iso Amyl Alcohol ,

C-6 Alcohol and Methyl THF.

The 2-methyl tetrahydrofuran made from renewable agricultural by-products

from corn cob waste by converting the available pentoses by acid hydrolysis

which makes 2-Methyl THF a renewable one. Iso Amyl alcohol we use orig-

inated from the Fossil Oil / Molasses and the source of Palm oil / Coconut

oil makes C-6 Alcohol a perfect renewable raw material.

In FY 2019-20, around 6.83% of the raw materials we purchased worldwide

were from renewable resources which includes 1186 tonnes of C-6 , 10.88

tonnes of Methyl THF and 186 tonnes of Iso Amyl Alcohol.

ETHICS AND HUMAN RIGHTS

Ethics and Human Rights care are centric to our belief system. We recognize our

responsibility in respecting human rights and treating people with dignity and re-

spect. We protect the rights of our team members by putting in place policies, pro-

cedures and control mechanisms across our operations, developing efficient and

effective ethics management frameworks. As an organization, we are strongly

against child labour, forced labour and compulsory labour of any kind; we have

developed a stringent set of policies and frameworks to enable the identification

and elimination of any such possible threats, thus empowering us to build an ethi-

cal business.

Human Rights Policy:

We accord ethics and human rights as a high priority. Keeping this in mind, we

have put in place interventions to prevent child labour through thorough screening

and scrutiny during hiring processes. We have trained our security personnel to

observe all individuals working within our facilities-both employees and contract

workers, to identify cases of child labour. Any identified cases are immediately

reported. All our employment contracts for workers and employees are based on

voluntary agreements.

Building a resilient business and strengthening ethical business practices, we en-

sure that our contracts with business partners, vendors and other stakeholders

have human rights clauses. We regularly communicate on our ethics and human

rights policies to our stakeholders through various communication channels. All

our team members are trained on the aspects of human rights.

Our Employee code of conduct guides team members in exhibiting ethical and ac-ceptable behaviour as required by BVCPL.

Human Rights Performance

In 2019-20, there have been no complaints on child labour, forced labour,

compulsory labour, sexual harassment or unethical behaviour of any types.

Our policies strategized to protect human rights and build ethical systems

include:

Policy on Sexual Harassment:

In our venture to create a workplace where employees can work without

the fear of sexual harassment, we have developed a gender neutral policy

centered on prevention of sexual harassment. The policy titled as

“Vaisakha Guidelines” includes the provisions of “Policy on Sexual Har-

assment of Women at the Workplace Act, 2013”. All our employees go

through compulsory training on prevention of sexual harassment. We have

a dedicated Complaints Committee to monitor and address grievances of

sexual nature.

Whistleblower Policy:

Our whistle-blower policy provides a transparent, two way platform for

employees to communicate their concerns or grievances regarding unac-

ceptable, improper or unethical practises within BVCPL. Through this pol-

icy, employees are given the freedom to communicate their concerns with-

out informing their immediate supervisors. Our Whistleblowing officer is

responsible for monitoring, receiving and recording complaints that are


OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY

Being in the chemicals sector, Occupational Health and Safety is one of the

cornerstones to our business philosophy. Safety is of paramount importance to

us, hence, we have put in interventions to ensure provision of a safe and

healthy working environment to all stakeholders within our premises. Our re-

silient safety framework eliminates incidences pertaining to safety within the

workplace. The framework involves continuous monitoring, analysis, record-

ing and review of the safety conditions in our operational areas.

Our Central Safety Committee and Plant level safety committees are responsi-

ble for monitoring and managing safety aspects. Safety statistics are recorded

and reported on our e-platform. We conduct root cause assessments in case of

safety related events to understand the reason behind incidents to eliminate

their reoccurrence. For all plant related activities, we have developed a HIRA

register to track expected hazards and analyze risks. As per the identified risks,

control measures are put in place. We have conducted a detailed safety assess-

ment that showcases that none of our workers have a high incidence of occu-

pational risk or disease.

To further strengthen our occupational health and safety framework and to

sensitize employees on various aspects of health and safety, we conduct regu-

lar health and safety training programs. The training programs include aspects

such as use of PTW system, accident reporting system, use of PPE, house-

keeping, safety of hot work, work at height, confined space, first aid training

etc. All our team members are covered under our occupational health and safe-

ty system.

In FY 2019-20, a total of 1532 hours of safety training was provided to our

team members. Our health and safety committees at the plant are adequately

represented by permanent as well as contract workers. As at the reporting peri-

od, the safety committee at our Karakhadi plant had representation of 60 per-

cent of our permanent employees and 40 % percent of our contract employees.

Our Safety Committee at our Moxi Plant also had a similar representation ratio

of permanent and contract employees . . Worker participation, consultation, and communication on occupational health and safety:

Quarterly safety committee meetings with workers.

Daily meetings between EHS, Production, Maintenance and all concerned em-

ployee on various safety topics.

Regular celebration of events such as safety week, fire day and road safety day ,

gathering a large scale participation of workers.

Regular safety related trainings to employees and workers as per the training

schedule covering various safety topics.

have developed a workplace embracing two way communication channels to increase trans-

parency and fair communication. At BVCPL, employee engagement is conducted continual-

ly through the use of various channels, both online and offline.

Our communication platforms with employees include various mediums- open houses with

senior leaders, town halls, employee engagement surveys, HR connect sessions and many

more, Safety Committee meetings, Mock drills, Training sessions, etc.., Our employee en-

gagement measures have helped us encourage and retain our talent, decreasing turnover to a

great extent. Engagement activities also motivate employees to better their performance.

At BVCPL , we continue to foster, develop and nurture a high performance culture by rec-

ognising, compensating, and rewarding individuals for their performance and contributions

through performance and career development reviews. We have developed a system ena-

bling us to monitor performance of individuals, to determine development areas and train-

ing requirements. During Performance reviews, strengths and development areas of key

personnel are systematically identified and individual development plans drawn up. The

continuous training of employees within the framework of the internal talent management

process ensures well-functioning succession planning for important positions within the

company. 100 percent of BVCPL Employees undergo regular performance reviews.
