"One of the highlights was participating in the site safety festival celebrating an approaching milestone: ~ 1,500 days without a recordable safety incident. This isn't just a number – it's a testament to the team's strong safety culture and their dedication to ensuring everyone goes home safely every day. The team's commitment to sustainability is equally impressive, with solar panels now powering a significant portion of the facility's energy needs – a tangible step toward reducing our environmental footprint," said Venkata.
