Topic : British Safety Council Award

Reliance Industries Ltd’s (RIL) Jamnagar Refinery on 15 October 2012 won the British Safety Council’s Globe of Honor Award for excellence in Environmental management. The award would be presented on 23 November 2012 at Mansion House in London. RIL’s Jamnagar SEZ Refinery is the only Indian organisation which had made it to the list and it is for the first time that a Reliance Industries’ manufacturing site has grabbed this very well known award.

In all, there were 13 applicants and 9 received the Globe of Honour. The eligibility of a organization for the award which is a five-star environment audit is that the applicant organisations should demonstrate a culture of best practice for health and safety throughout the business - from the boardroom to the shop floor. All applications for the Globe of honour were marked by an independent adjudicator and SEZ Refinery received 68 marks out of 72.
