Status & Needs

Industrial development is an important constituent
in our pursuits for economic growth, employment generation and betterment
in the quality of life. On the other hand, industrial activities,
without proper precautionary measures for environmental protection
are known to cause pollution and associated problems. Hence, it is
necessary to comply with the regulatory norms for prevention and control
of pollution. Alongside, it is also imperative to go beyond compliance
through adoption of clean technologies and improvement in management
practices. Commitment and voluntary initiatives of industry for responsible
care of the environment will help in building a partnership for pollution
control. This is the very purpose of this Charter.
With this in view, a series of industry-specific interaction meetings
have been organised as per details given below, to formulate the Charter
on Corporate Responsibility for Environmental Protection (CREP). |

I am happy that the Central Pollution Control Board ( CPCB) has
brought out this publication outlining the industry-wise profiles
and action points which constituted the agenda for inter-action
with various sectors of industry.
