Building the Future of Clean Water

Corporate Social Responsibility Policy

Objective and Vision

At RITEWATER, corporate social responsibility is not merely a matter of an obligation to be fulfilled or an account to be presented to society. We firmly believe that we are indebted to society for our existence, survival, and success. We have experienced that we have an invisible bond with society. This bond inevitably leads us to a natural relationship of empathy. It impels the corporation to understand and appreciate social issues and problems. It results in our being part and parcel of the society’s progression through the process of inclusive growth. We continually search for innovative ways and means of creating a bridge between the corporation’s objectives and social priorities. This process has enlightened us with the grassroots realities. The more we realize this, the more determined we become to evolve a creative partnership between the corporate growth process and its impact on society. The company always believed that rural development is key to nation-building.

We have put in place a culture which looks at a business proposition from these angles:

Whether the corporation will produce an article or service which would satisfy a desirable social need,

whether the project would impact the environment in a positive way,

whether the business would help foster conservation of natural resources and through that promote food security,and

whether it would provide for an inclusive growth.

We are, therefore, committed to a sustainable model – through partnership and value addition, which leads to an increase in value not only for shareholders but also for other stakeholders including the consumers, suppliers, business partners, and the community at large. Each of our businesses is socially impacted and in turn, favorably impacts the society and the environment. Together, this relationship results in the harmonious co-existence of a symbiotically sustainable business, society, and environment. This Policy has been formulated and recommended by the CSR Committee to the Board of Directors of the Company and was duly adopted by the Board. This Policy lays down the primary vision of the Company with regard to its CSR activities. The Company may change this Policy from time to time in accordance with law and in accordance with the needs of the Company.
