Industrial activities, without proper precautionary measures for

environmental protection are known to cause pollution and

associated problems.

Commitment and voluntary initiatives of industry for responsible care

of the environment will help in building a partnership for pollution

control. The Charter is a commitment for partnership and participatory

action of the concerned stakeholders. The Charter is also a road map for progressive improvement in

environmental management systems. Thus, it is not necessarily

limited to compliance of end-of-the-pipe effluent and emission

standards.

In the 17 category of industries the targets set in the Charter are

ahead of effluent and emission standards.
