We strive to be a good corporate citizen. We recognize our responsibility to work with the communities in which we operate. We will aim to use our resources to provide the communities with access to facilities that help improve their quality of life. We will support community initiatives that fall within the scope of our CSR policy and our corporate ethos. We will ensure that the resources we have are spent on sustainable and penetrative initiatives. We will aim to support/take (but not limit ourselves to) initiatives that improve our community’s access to basic education, basic healthcare & child welfare and other areas. We will ensure that we have an involved CSR committee which will oversee all CSR related activities and make key decisions including decisions of involvement, investment, management and withdrawal of/from all CSR programs. The CSR committee will ensure that all resources are utilized in the most effective manner possible and ensure that all resources are pooled into initiatives that fall in line with our CSR policy.
