At Hindustan Zinc, we recognise that improving air quality is essential for the well-being of our communities and the environment. To achieve this, we have established air quality monitoring stations near our operations. These stations play a crucial role in tracking air quality and responding swiftly to any concerns raised by the public. Our operations are governed by robust control strategies and comprehensive monitoring programs, all designed to reduce emissions and ensure that our activities have minimal impact on the environment.

In line with ICMM Mining Principle 6 (Environmental Performance), Hindustan Zinc adopts a preventive and risk-based approach to manage non-GHG air emissions. Emissions from material sources at all our operations are managed through state-of-the-art air pollution control devices, robust fugitive emission controls, and operational discipline. Continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) enable real-time monitoring of particulate matter, SOx and NOx, with performance reviewed against statutory and internal benchmarks. Any deviations are addressed through timely corrective and preventive actions, with emissions data routinely reported to regulators.
