Semac's sustainable development policy guides the company as we move forward, beyond traditional environmental compliance and community relations, to integrate sustainable development into our work planning and execution. Some of the key factors we consider: Protecting or enhancing natural resources and biodiversity Reducing a facility's footprint Minimizing waste generation and liquid or solid waste discharges Employing advanced control of air emissions Increasing the use of renewable energy and energy-efficient designs Conserving energy, materials, and water. Sustainable development is important to Semac and to our customers, and we are embracing it for business value as well as part of our corporate responsibility. Our environmental commitment goes back to our beginnings, when we were a regional company in Bangalore. Our responsibility, as well as the effort and resources we have invested in safety, environmental protection and promotion, have grown with the company.
