We have a stated CSR policy that is strictly followed. The policy translates into various developmental initiatives that we undertake for our employees, the environment and the communities around our plants. Additionally, volunteerism is encouraged and recognised throughout the organisation. This also helps us to fulfill our CSR goals."
