Principle 8

BUSINESSES SHOULD PROMOTE INCLUSIVE GROWTH AND EQUITABLE DEVELOPMENT

We drive social impact by engaging with local communities and uplifting them by multiple interventions like, education, health care, livelihood opportunities, women empowerment etc. We invest in creating jobs and empower under represented groups through inclusive hiring and skill development. We regularly conduct social impact assessment of our initiatives and keep an open dialogue with the communities where we operate. Our partnerships and programs support long-term growth and build stronger, more resilient communities. Through purposeful action, we aim to ensure that progress is shared by all.
