CSR Policy
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Policy.
Corporate social responsibility is an important part of our operations.
Under our CSR policy, our major areas of focus are eradication of poverty
and hunger, providing safe drinking water, empowerment of women, and
promoting education and vigilance against COVID-19.
We partnered with the Telangana Police Department to implement various
schemes and programs for the safety and empowerment of women in the
neighborhood. These include providing shelter for poor and vulnerable women
by establishing the Bharosa Centre. We also established “SHE” teams in
operations, pursuant to which any women anticipating a threat to her safety
can dial a specified number for help.
We undertake projects in the villages surrounding our manufacturing
locations at Kakinada and Krishnapatnam, in Andhra Pradesh, such as
providing safe drinking water by installing Reverse Osmosis Purifiers at
strategic locations, and medical aid by providing X-Ray machines in various
hospitals (in consultation with the local administration).
We promote education by providing required infrastructure such as school
furniture and electronic equipment, as well as renovated old school
buildings in villages, close to our manufacturing facilities at the Port of
Krishnapatnam and Kakinada.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we contributed to the PM CARES FUND and also
to the funds of various Chief Ministers of the states where we operate.
We spent ₹5.7 million, ₹51.9 million and ₹38.3 million on CSR activities
during Fiscals 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively.
