3. RELIANCE AT GLANCE
The Reliance Group, founded by Dhirubhai H. Ambani (1932-2002), is India's largest private
sector enterprise, with businesses in the energy and materials value chain. Group's annual
revenues are in excess of US$ 58 billion. The flagship company, RIL, is a Fortune Global 500
company and is the largest private sector company in India.
Backward vertical integration has been the cornerstone of the evolution and growth of
Reliance. Starting with textiles in the late seventies, Reliance pursued a strategy of
backward vertical integration - in polyester, fibre intermediates, plastics, petrochemicals,
petroleum refining and oil and gas exploration and production - to be fully integrated along
the materials and energy value chain.
The Group's activities span exploration and production of oil and gas, petroleum refining
and marketing, petrochemicals (polyester, fibre intermediates, plastics and chemicals),
textiles, retail, infotel and special economic zones.
Reliance enjoys global leadership in its businesses, being the largest polyester yarn and fibre
producer in the world and among the top five to ten producers in the world in major
petrochemical products.
Revenue US$ 58.55 billion (2011)
Net income US$ 04.54 billion (2011)
Total assets US$ 63.84 billion (2011)

7. CONTROLLING GREENHOUSE GASES EMISSIONS
Climate change is a major issues facing
mankind today.
For this RIL, has adopted Clean
Development Mechanisms.
They have identified several projects during
the year of which four are currently in
progress of validation with the UN
framework conversions on climate changes.
They are trying to lower the greenhouse
gases by cleaner technologies.
8. CLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISM
RIL has built in-house capacity to develop CDM projects and obtain the
registration and issuance of the same in the form of Certified Emission
Reductions (CERs) from the United Nations Framework Convention Climate
Change (UNFCCC).
In FY-11, RIL undertook validation of two renewable energy CDM projects
harnessing solar and biomass energy.
These projects have received host country approval from Ministry of
Environment and Forest, Government of India.
Biomass based process steam generation project is at the final stage of
registration at UNFCCC.
Also, verification audit of one of the registered projects at Patalganga
Manufacturing Division has been conducted in FY-11.
UNFCCC has approved the changes proposed by RIL to the small scale
methodology for “Recovery and recyling of materials from solid wastes” to
include PET recyle.
RIL has undertaken replacement of CFC based chiller units with new energy
efficient non-CFC chillers.

21. ENSURING SAFETY OF PEOPLE & ASSETS
Change Agents for Safety, Health & Workplace Environment programme. This
programme focuses on workplace improvements to promote healthy work places
and reduce health and safety risks.
SAFFETY OBSERVATION PROCESS” (ReSOP), focuses on the behaviour safety
aspect of all personnel. It also focuses on Process Safety Management (PSM) the
company has undertaken special initiatives like “PROJECT HEALTH CHECK” to
reduce safety risk and prevent injuries in the short term by identifying and
addressing the safety issues requiring immediate attention.
The Company has state-of-the-art Occupational Health Centres (OHC) at its
manufacturing divisions and major offices.
RIL's medical and occupational health departments are also in the forefront to
prevent lifestyle diseases such as heart problems, hypertension, diabetes and
communicable diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis and HIV / AIDS through a
series of regular health awareness sessions, daily health tips and personal
counseling.
RIL's HSE Management System (HSE-MS) has been further strengthened with
new initiatives.
22. ATTRACTING AND RETAINING TALENTED
PROFESSIONALS:-
RIL has adopted TALENTS DEVELOPMENT & RETENTION PROGRAMS.
They have also included INNOVATIVE CAREER MANAGEMENT &
MANAGERIAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS.
RIL aspires to be one of the most innovative companies in the world.
The Reliance Innovation Leadership Centre designs, develops and
deploys programmes in realizing this vision anchored around this
agenda.
LEAP has been designed to inspire the RIL family through the life, work
and experience of global innovation leaders. Sustainable growth of any
organisation has one important element- generation, exploitation and
management of its IP.
RIL’s patent portfolio is on the upswing, both in quality and quantity
terms including protection in overseas markets.
23. UNDERSTANDING OUR
STAKEHOLDERS BETTER
One of the important measures for the sustain
ability in earning the contest of the stakeholder co-
operate & grow.
To able to achieve, them, it is important to
understand them better.
For this RIL, has adopted STRUCTURED
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT METHOD,
The outcomes of the structured feedback is the
refinement in their reporting structure & the
inclusion of achievement & opportunity.
24. HANDLINGS PERCEPTION OF
POLYETHENE BAGS
The biggest disadvantage is handling perception
of polyethene bags which effect the
environment adversely as they are non-
biodegradable products.
For this RIL has adopted SUSTAINABILE
ENVIRONMENTS FOR DEGRADATION.
For example:-
PCL,PLA,PBAT or AAC.
Hydrolysis by hydrolytic scission of the ester
bonds in the chain backs one for which suitable
environment can be compostable,
biodegradable & marine degradable.
25. RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT
The Company focuses its attention to fundamental R&D for sustainability of its
business, advanced technical services, enhancing internal capability to develop
basic engineering packages, and in building capabilities.
In refining, the focus areas include maximising light olefins yields from the
fluidised catalytic cracker (FCC), improving propylene recovery in FCC; advanced
characterisation of crude and evaluation of chemicals for desalting; increasing
efficiency and reliability of refinery processes and enhancing process capabilities in
coking technology to help widen the crude operating window.
In the petrochemicals area, the focus is on providing technology support to ensure
efficient asset utilisation, development of specialty grades/materials, development
of catalysts /additives for cost reduction, value addition to by-product streams,
and leveraging opportunities at the chemicals/oil interface.
RIL is involved in some cutting-edge technologies like fuel cells, carbon fibres, bio-
fuels, and gasification of several types of feedstocks.
RIL is the sole industry partnerin the New Millennium Indian Technology
Leadership Initiative (NMITLI) project on indigenous Fuel Cell.
