We focus on reducing pollutants emitted and responsible use of substances of concern.

At Exide, we are committed to environmental stewardship and are taking decisive steps to manage pollution across our operations. We are in the process of developing a comprehensive Pollution Management Policy for pollution reduction with plans to have it fully established by the end of FY25 and implemented by the end of FY26. This policy will guide the establishment of enhanced operational control procedures to ensure compliance with our environmental standards. In addition, we are creating a robust reporting and data collection system. This system will enhance our ability to analyze data and make informed decisions, supporting our efforts to establish targets for reducing emissions of lead and sulfate.
