Going Beyond Business

Emami’s quest for inclusive growth

At Emami, the operative philosophy is that inclusive growth is not a destination but a journey. A journey made possible by the progressive engagement of all stakeholders in the developmental process. The Company strives to achieve sustainable development across the realms of education, health and livelihood and undertakes the bulk of its CSR activities in the hinterlands of its factories and offices across 11 states in the country including West Bengal, Assam and Rajasthan, among others. Emami Ltd’s CSR activities are carried out by Emami Ltd itself and also by Emami Foundation

Ethical corporate behavior forms the basis of our CSR initiative. Hunger, diseases and ignorance are still the burning issues of modern times, despite growth in science; government budgetary resources are inadequate to mitigate the sufferings. The corporate world cannot afford to remain sitting on the fence as mere onlooker when people are afflicted with hunger and malnutrition, diseases and physical infirmity and illiteracy. Emami has a long tradition in conducting philanthropic activities, supported by a professional outlook. An exercise is underway to integrate all such activities of Emami Group companies and Emami Foundation across healthcare, education, community development, women empowerment and livelihood creation.
