Quality & Environment

At DNL quality is the keyword in every activity and a constant endeavour to achieve standards of the highest levels has been an ongoing commitment from the time of its inception as well as recognition and acknowledgement of this devotion. This achievement has been set as a benchmark to go forward in excellence.

For DNL it is an ongoing process to continuously explore new product applications, competitive technologies and potential markets. DNL has scaled this success with its  trademark of commitment and quality.

The commitment towards this is apparent from the fact that DNL has a total manpower of 85 persons supporting the Quality and Technical functions at its various manufacturing facilities.

All its products are manufactured in accordance with the current acceptable world standards. All its manufacturing facilities have been upgraded conforming to the current ISO:9001:2000 standard, from the earlier ISO:9002:1994 standard, and are now certified by Intertek for ISO:9001:2000 standard.

Environment

Our respect for the environment is reflected in our efforts at ensuring best practices followed at all levels. We not only adhere to the statutory norms but have a holistic approach towards environmental protection.

We are a signatory to the worldwide Responsible Care initiative.

The major environmental issues addressed are:

• Ongoing manufacturing processes are studied in detail with a view to minimize generation of liquid/gaseous waste streams as a part of continuous improvement.
• A specially constituted Pollution Control Cell at our R&D centre is actively engaged in developing technologies for environment protection at our manufacturing plants. Our Pollution Cell in fact also helps out smaller industrial units that do not have capabilities and infrastructure for such jobs. The efforts of our team are not aimed at just pollution minimization but also to conserve energy, improve process yields and product quality.

At our manufacturing sites we ensure a clean environment by:

• Continuously operating Effluent Treatment Plants
• Burning of waste gases
• Controlling NOX emission
• Monitoring of ambient air quality
• Monitoring of effluents and emission quality
• Safely disposing solid waste

The above practices help in achieving strict compliance with statutory standards laid down by the regional Pollution Control Authorities for plant effluent and emission quality.
