Nature.
It’s the best open-air school open to mankind. Unfortunately, this school is facing bad times. Thanks to man. And his destructive ways. At Indian oil, we understand how important it is to maintain the ecological balance. To us, fresh air and clean water are as precious as oil. One cannot be sacrificed for the other. Never. When setting up our refineries, environmental protection is foremost on our minds, never an afterthought. We regularly monitor air quality (at every single refinery of ours) to check air pollution. Effluent discharge is analysed 365 days of the year. It is progressively treated and productively used for irrigation. As trees breathe life into our environs, we have developed green belts around our units. Ecological parks too. Last year, we planted more than one lakh trees. All of us are indebted to Nature. So let’s preserve its pristine glory. Or soon, a beautiful memory is all that will remain of it!
