All 25 of the India Division’s Company-owned bottling plants have gained the international standard ISO 14001 Environment Management System certificate.
The ISO 14001 certificate is the internationally recognized standard of Environmental Management.
A company must demonstrate management commitment, the total involvement of all employees and a compliance with applicable regulatory and internal company standards.
The Company started its compliance effort in February, 2002 and the Bidadi plant near Bangalore in the southern State of Karnataka was the first plant to receive this prestigious accreditation in January 2003.
Strict division compliance with the eKO system ensured that the bottling plants were ready to meet the tough evaluation criteria and standards of the ISO auditors.
After only 15 months, when certifying agency Det Norske Veritas completed its audit and granted the ISO certification to the Patna plant in eastern State of Bihar, every plant in the Company owned bottling system held the coveted certificate.
"We have been able to achieve this due the unwavering commitment and belief demonstrated by all our associates in protecting, preserving and enhancing the environment," says India Division President Sanjiv Gupta.
The India Division Environment Resource Management team guided the plant teams in implementing systems that helped fulfill the requirements of the ISO Certifying system. Strict division compliance with the eKO system ensured that the bottling plants were ready to meet the tough evaluation criteria and standards of the ISO auditors.
The environment management system has resulted in other significant business benefits, including conservation of resources, increased productivity and reduction of overall wastages.
The Division is now working hard to extend the ISO footprint across the entire franchisee owned bottling system as well.
