Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC):

We have been active contributors to ZDHC since its inception in 2011 and follow the regularly updated AFIRM/AAFA RSL. Our facilities were the first in India to be ZDHC audited by two brands and a third party in 2012-13. We have also developed a single-window chemical purchase procedure to prevent the entry of restricted (priority) chemicals in our operations.

Alternative Dyes & Chemicals:

Our procedures for handling chemicals ensure the minimization of the use of hazardous chemicals and prevent them from entering our manufacturing process.

We are constantly researching and finding ways to reduce and substitute chemical use in washing.

Proper Storage and Handling:

Our Chemical Management Policy and Chemical Purchase Policy govern our effective chemical management. Our processes are in alignment with ZDHC TIG (Technical Industry Guidelines).

Sustainably sourced materials:

Our material sourcing strategy prioritizes acquiring raw materials from partners within sustainable supply chains, specifically considering environmental and social factors. We continuously work on testing newer sustainable alternatives to conventional materials and actively market them to our customers.

Train 100% of our workforce in the first round of BSafe by 2025

In FY 2022, we launched BSafe,  a two-hour per-worker per-month participatory awareness program developed in collaboration with A&F as a knowledge partner and training partner Kshitij, an NGO. The Garment Labor Union vetted these modules. 

This initiative empowers employees by fostering a deeper understanding of different forms of harassment and our 6-pillars of redressal and remediation. This subsequently

– Enhanced their capacity to understand various grievance redressal mechanisms

– Encouraged them to use the grievance redressal mechanism effectively

– Increased their awareness about gender and gender-based violence in the workplace

– Enhanced their awareness about mental health, suicide prevention and awareness, and cybercrime and its prevention

Prioritizing Employee Safety at the Workplace:

Our organization has a well-defined occupational health and safety management (OHSM) system per the Factories Act of 1948. The OHSMS is based on the standards prescribed by the International Labour Organization. Safety and Well-being Officers at each unit ensure these standards are upheld, and all safety measures are followed without compromise. 

We have established our goals and are dedicated to:

– Complying with all relevant safety laws, regulations, and requirements

– Implementing process safety and management strategies, including safety committees, audits, risk assessments, and documenting safety-related data

– Creating a workplace free from injuries by fostering strong employee engagement

Training and Awareness:

We conduct extensive safety training, health camps, and awareness sessions to empower our workforce with the knowledge necessary to minimize risks. We reduce the likelihood of workplace fatalities by raising consciousness among our employees.

Within all our facilities, we have established fully equipped medical centers with skilled medical teams comprising nurses and doctors to address primary injuries and provide direct medical care. Furthermore, our employees and workers benefit from coverage under the Employees’ State Insurance (ESI). We organize several camps such as

– Anemia Detection Camps

– Employee State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) Camp,

Post-Natal Care, and Creche Facilities:

We understand the challenges associated with balancing professional responsibilities and parenting duties. Our crèche care has been crafted to offer a secure and nurturing environment for the children of our employees aged below six years. We ensure that the crèche meets the highest hygiene and child development standards.

We strive to reduce waste generation through careful planning and innovation by optimizing our production processes, promoting recycling, and fostering circularity.

Our Waste management policy ensures our legal compliance with respect to waste generation, storage, and disposal. It helps us improve our waste management processes, avoid unnecessary use of raw materials to minimize waste generation, and reduce hazardous waste within our premises. Our teams are trained in effective waste management practices.

In our mills and garmenting units, two distinct categories of waste are generated: hazardous and non-hazardous. 

All hazardous waste is directed to an SPCB-authorized recycler or disposer. Non-hazardous waste is also sent to approved vendors. 

At Shahi, we recognize the significance of energy's dire impact on climate change. Investing in Green Building principles minimizes our energy consumption significantly in the long run. Green Building Design.
