CSR MISSION We are committed to creating exceptional value for our customers, employees, shareholders, vendors and the communities we operate in and above all the nation, through our core values of Learning, Excellence, Teamwork and Speed A message from our Managing Directors Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a western concept looks upon itself as a business imperative for generating good will for the business amongst different stakeholders. While we do not deny that doing good for the society will ultimately have positive impact on the business, this is not the prime driver behind our endeavors in this space. Philosophically, for us, our understanding of corporate responsibility towards society has its roots in our tradition, culture and ethos. Sharing our good fortune and income with the needy and less fortunate is an integral part of all major religions of the world. India, one of the oldest civilizations of the World, has a 5000 year old tradition where the blessed and the more fortunate sections of the society took care of the societal welfare. We at Dalmia Bharat Group, believe in the concept of giving back and sharing with Society. And for more than seven decades, we have followed this concept of giving back and sharing with the under privileged sections of the society. Our CSR programmes are centered on livelihood, children and education, and basic healthcare. We are operational in 30 villages, touching a population of over 50,000 people. During the financial year 2010-11, our programmes directly benefitted almost 15,000 people, the details of which are available in this report.
During the financial year 2010-11, Indian economy, on the back of excellent performance in agriculture, clocked 8.5% GDP growth. On the Human Development Index, India has moved 13 positions in the last 2 years from 132 in 2009 to 119 in 2011 (Human Development Report 2010, UNDP). Despite these encouraging developments, India continues to have millions of its citizens officially below the poverty line. It would take perhaps a decade of current pace of growth before we would be in a position to say that India is well on its way to be a developed country. Keeping this background in view, we at Dalmia Bharat Group stay committed for bringing down the incidence of poverty and suffering in the villages around our plant locations. We would also like to take this opportunity to reiterate our commitment towards society and environment as a responsible corporate citizen. We as responsible Corporate Citizens are committed to working closely with government, nongovernmental agencies, and all other stakeholders to play our role in lending support to the collective development efforts to ensure that India and Indians can report inclusive growth and prosperity. The corporate sector in India is also waking up to the realities of environmental challenges such as climate change and global warming and how they can adversely affect us all in the years to come. We are committed to managing our business operations responsibly to ensure that we have a net positive impact on the environment. In conclusion, we would like to reiterate our commitment to play an active role in partnership with all key stakeholders for making this world a better place for all.
Our CSR approach is distinct from Charity where out of compassion help is given to poor and needy. While we acknowledge the power of charity, DBGF because of its focus on making a significant and sustainable difference, develops its programmes that make a long-term difference in the lives of its targeted beneficiaries. 2. Forging Partnerships We at DBGF firmly believe in the power of partnerships and thus work closely with a diverse set of stakeholders Local Community and Representatives All our programmes start with a needs assessment done by closely involving the local community and village leaders. Subsequently we involve the local leaders both at the time of formulation and implementation of the programmes. Non-Governmental Organisations Our programmes are implemented by reputed national and international NGOs, who have extensive experience of working with the poor and rural households in the areas of livelihood, education and health and hygiene. Government We believe that we can be a bridge between the Government and rural poor in our targeted villages. We are collaborating with state rural development department, district administration and departments like animal husbandry, agriculture, health etc as also development institutions like NABARD.

At our sugar locations, 420 children are undergoing remedial education programme that will substantially improve their performance in subjects. This year we have expanded our CSR programmes to all our 3 sugar plants.
directly or indirectly been able to touch the lives of almost 60,000 people. Our diverse health programmes through camps, immunization and post/pre natal care, weekly clinics and collaboration with primary health care have benefitted and saved the health of women and children. Dedicated efforts are made to bring incidence of diabetes and BP to medical attention. We also worked to raise awareness on day to day health care and thereby reducing the percentage of opportunistic and seasonal infections people in rural areas generally face. More than 500 beneficiaries received regular and routine medical and health attention including seasonal diseases and illness, resulting in improved healthcare and well being. Special consideration was given to the programme of Maternal and Child Health Care across all locations. More than 400 beneficiaries, including 250 women and children were provided special medical attention (Ante and Post Natal Care), immunization and nutrition, as part of the government programme. In Jawaharpur (Uttar Pradesh), Nutrition and Health Day is celebrated regularly where pregnant women and children upto the age of 5 years are immunized to fight against all vaccine preventable disease. Sanitation & Health Awareness Construction of 154 toilets in Kadapa has resulted in improved health and behavior practices. In particular, this has reduced drudgery for women and girls.
At Nigohi, efforts have been made towards develop A Zero-Waste Society. In this direction, the waste material are segregated & disposed off as per standard norms In Ariyalur, Value from waste was created by segregating the waste into different forms and recycled into making compost and vermi culture. Water Conservation Management At Nigohi, there has been a reduction in the amount of water that was sourced for our plant operations as well as in the release of effluents. Between different plant activities, a total of 1,000 cubic meters per day is saved. Similarly in Dalmiapuram, a rain water harvesting capacity of 20,000 cubic metres has been created in our abandoned mines. This has helped recharge ground water and avoid water inundation. In Ariyalur, Several streams of water have been connected through a common channel to a pond size of 40,000 cubic metres. This has helped recharge ground water thus improving energy efficiency as well. The water filtered out of the RO system is recycled and used for watering the plants. Similarly, waste water from boiler is used for running critical plant operations saving precious water and energy otherwise used for bore wells. A very similar effort in Kadapa resulted in harvesting water of 100,000 cubic metres. As the borewell power is no more used by people for drawing water, this has also resulted in energy saving of 1,000 units of power per day. Besides, the Kadapa plant now only uses waste water from the sewage treatment plant (STP) for cement production process instead of fresh water. This has saved precious water and has resulted in power saving of 250 units per day. We estimate, on a per day basis, we bring down the carbon emission to at least 250 kilogrammes due to the reduced usage of power for drawing water. Our Initiative We now only use waste water in our cement production process which saves considerable amounts of fresh water. Usage of Sewage Treatment Plant water has resulted in savings of 250 units of water per day, equivalent to a reduction in CO2 emission of 250 kilogrammes a day. Sustainable Development and Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) In the financial year 2010-11, Jawaharpur project of the company was registered as a CDM project. With this, the company has taken another giant stride towards contributing to climate change mitigation and sustainable development at a global level. Our sugar plant at Ramgarh project is already registered and we expect to get our third sugar plant in the state of Uttar Pradesh, Nigohi, also registered during FY2012. These three projects combined will result in annual reduction of over 100,000 MT of CO2 emissions. Environmental Monitoring, Training & Awareness
At our Ariyalur plant location, a weather and environment monitoring system has been installed for online weather monitoring which measures temperature, relative humidity, wind direction, wind velocity and rainfall. All our plant locations impart regular training to all employees on environmental aspects. Basic Infrastructure Our Initiatives Rapid urbanization over the last five decades is changing our countrys landscape and also generating formidable challenges for supplies of water and basic infrastructure, it has been our honest endeavor to deliver reliable and quality infrastructure thereby creating a better living standard. Community Infrastructure initiatives in Brief: 1) In villages in and around CSR implementation villages, Dalmia has had funded for the laying, paving and maintenance of Building of roads thud help in safe and easy commuting of the community. 2) Our financial contribution has helped in the construction of a tube well along with a pipeline spanning 2 kilometers in length in one of the nearby villages in Andhra Pradesh. 3) Construction of Community Centre/building for preschool kids in Palinganatham village. 4) Provided funds for the construction of a rehabilitation centre for street and destitute children. 5) Have donated brand new musical instruments for poor and needy children interested in learning music.
