ENVIRONMENT

SMS is committed to the cause of environment protection and sustainable development. At SMS, we strongly beleive that protecting the environment is the first and the major step towards sustainable development. SMS has planned and implemented all the control measures to preserve the environment in which its activites are carried out.

SMS has invested considerable amount of money to provide state of the art pollution control equipment to minimise the impact of its activities on the environment to the barest minimum. In this process, SMS has become the first bulk drug manufacturing unit in Hyderabad to install incineration systems for gaseous waste, liquid wastes as well as solid wastes.

The modernized state of art Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) with capacity of 1,00,000 Lts / day serves to meet the chemically and biologically specified standards. The effluents generated are treated at very high temperatures and are thermally oxidized and the treated effluents are utilized for the green belt development in the company premises.

Environment protection is integrated from product development stage itself with environment pollution potential being one of the guiding parameters in developing the route of synthesis and also choosing the raw materials

We are the first Indian pharma company to to receive Indo-US GCNC award for adopting green chemistry practices.

SMS is in the process of developing and implementing ISO 14001 systems at its manufacturing facilities and expects to be certified soon.
