JBM Electric Vehicles Pvt. Limited is a pioneer and a strong advocate of sustainability, which is highlighted by one of our 5 core values ”Safe & Green”. Sustainability is thus inherent and embedded into the organization DNA since its inception. In line all our plants are ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 certified and comply with relevant legal requirements / law of the land.

Energy being complementary part of Environment has led us to integrate Energy along with EHS to rename it as EEHS. We drive all aspects of EEHS through Process & System Assessment and Performance Measurement technique. Process & System Assessment is done through Digital & Advanced 6S Audit and 12 Pillar Comprehensive Business Excellence Assessment Model. Performance Measurement is done through a comprehensive scoring mechanism, which is used to evaluate the improvement performance of each plant.

We drive a unique “PANCHTATTVA” approach across our plants which focuses on improving & optimizing our resources utilization in the 5 environmental aspects i.e., Prithvi (Soil Conservation), Agni (Energy Conservation), Vayu (Air Conservation), Jal (Water Conservation) & Akash (Space Utilization).

Various initiatives under each head are taken to reduce our overall Carbon Footprint which is measured through Energy Score comprising of 16 measurable parameters to track progress.

• We drive multiple energy conservation projects through GTC approach where we focus on Generation, Transmission and Consumption Optimization.
• We are working to make our plants Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) as well as reduction of specific water consumption.
• We are also working to reduce fuel consumption as well as hazardous / non-hazardous waste reduction.
• We also have a group-level drive called “SANKALP SIDDHI” where one of the aspects is to increase green cover in JBM units, where we planted 8,800 nos. of trees and thus helped in generating 8,800 tons of oxygen annually.
• Our e-buses have clocked over 50 million e-kms till date and pledged to clock over 1 billion e-Kms in next 3-4 years

Occupational Health & Safety Management Our three non-negotiable values ISQ (Integrity, Safety & Quality) showcase our commitment towards the Health and Safety of our employees. Our EHS policy defines our approach and management commitment towards all aspects of safety. Under Sankalp Se Siddhi 3.0 drive, we have adopted a slogan of “No injury & ill health at workplace by adhering to safe working culture through implementation of robust safety assurance system”.

In line to achieve safety goals, we have “Safety Functional Mandate” consisting of five levers Behavior Based Safety (BBS), Machine Control Safety (MCS), Incidence Analysis, Process & System Standardization and lastly safety system governance & sustenance. Amongst these, BBS and MCS are the key approaches.

• BBS includes people involvement, event celebration, competitions, rewards and recognition and safety habits / actions (safety pledge, safety walks etc.).
• MCS includes installation/standardization of Poka yoke / sensors / guards / safety fencing / LOTO and machine safety levels identification (0 to 4). This also gives us an opportunity to enhance our machine through machine interlocking / self-alarming / escalation through digitization of safety measures.

Safety score calculation under the safety rating system helps us to build a competitive platform for all plants and thus sparks a zeal to improve safety standards. It comprises evaluation of 21 parameters which can be broadly classified under proactive, process and result parameters. Under Sankalp Siddhi, we conduct multiple engagement activities across plants for employees to improve on physical, mental & spiritual health aspects. It includes regular Yoga sessions, mental well-being, talks by health experts, health check-up camps, etc. We also have tie-ups with multiple health service providers to provide health services to all employees.
