Our Philosophy of Giving: Serving Humanity with a Heart of Compassion

Emami's CSR philosophy stems from a simple yet profound conviction - that every enterprise exists within a social contract. The company's growth is inseparable from the well-being of the communities it serves.

To honour this responsibility, Emami Foundation - the CSR arm of the Group - works tirelessly to nurture, empower, and uplift vulnerable populations. Its initiatives are strategically designed through comprehensive need assessments, field research, and partnerships with credible institutions, ensuring that interventions are need-driven, impact-oriented, and sustainable.

Each project undertaken reflects a deep understanding of India's developmental priorities - aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and national missions in healthcare, education, women empowerment, and environmental conservation.

At its core, Emami's CSR is guided by three enduring principles:

Sustainability through Collaboration – Partnering with government, civil society, and experts to ensure lasting transformation.

Empathy in Action – Listening deeply to the needs of communities and designing programs that truly make a difference.

Empowerment through Opportunity – Creating pathways for education, livelihood, and self-reliance.

Healthcare for All: Building Healthier Communities

Access to healthcare is a fundamental right, not a privilege. Emami's healthcare initiatives are built on the belief that every individual deserves the chance to live a healthy, dignified life regardless of socio-economic status.

Through a network of clinics, camps, and health awareness programmes across Kolkata and suburbs of West Bengal, Emami Foundation reaches underserved populations with preventive, promotive, and curative care. The focus is not only on treatment but also on health awareness, early detection, and behavioural change — building healthier communities for the long term.

Project "Swasthya" epitomises this mission, bringing affordable healthcare to the doorstep of those who need it most. Emami's health initiatives include specialized programmes for chronic disease management such as diabetes and hypertension, eye-care and cancer screening camps, support for critical patients, and collaborations with hospitals and NGOs to strengthen community health systems. Complementing this is Project "Sanjeevani", an innovative Ayurvedic wellness initiative that integrates traditional Indian healing with modern awareness campaigns.

Education and Skill Development: Empowering Minds, Building Futures

Education is the most powerful equalizer, and Emami has long believed that a nation can only progress when its people are empowered with knowledge and skills.

Under the umbrella of Project "Padho India Padho", Emami supports the education of children from economically challenged families by providing scholarships, books, and essential learning infrastructure. Project "Padhenge Hum Padhane Ke Liye" focuses on enhancing the quality of education by empowering teachers. Through digital capacity-building programmes like "Daksh", teachers are trained to use modern pedagogical tools, integrate technology in classrooms, and improve learning outcomes for their students.

For students struggling to keep pace, After-School Study Centres offer remedial learning support in a nurturing environment, helping them regain confidence and academic strength.

Recognizing the growing importance of employability, Project "Badhte Kadam"equips youth with job-ready skills in trades such as beauty and wellness, apparel design, IT, financial accounting, and communication.

Women's Empowerment: Celebrating Strength, Inspiring Change

Emami believes that when women thrive, families prosper, communities progress, and nations flourish. Through initiatives like Project "Smart Sukanya", the company celebrates womanhood and enables women to achieve self-reliance through vocational training, entrepreneurship development, and access to digital and financial literacy.

Social Upliftment: Serving Humanity, Restoring Hope

Project Jankalyan represents Emami's social responsibility in action. It provides relief to the hungry through nutrition and meal distribution programmes, supports community infrastructure, and rehabilitates individuals rescued from vulnerable conditions.

Through collaborations with NGOs, Emami extends emergency relief and rehabilitation during natural disasters, ensuring that help reaches those who need it most, when they need it most.

Promoting Art, Culture, and Sports: Enriching the Soul of Society

Emami' s vision of development is holistic - encompassing not only material and social well-being but also the cultural and creative spirit of the nation.

Through the Kolkata Centre for Creativity (KCC), the company celebrates India' s artistic legacy and fosters cultural dialogue. In association with Emami Foundation, KCC hosts exhibitions, workshops, and performances that bridge tradition and modernity, inspire young artists, and preserve India' s rich heritage for future generations.

Emami also recognises the transformative power of sports. Through initiatives like "Sporting Dreams", the company nurtures young talent in rural and semi-urban areas, building confidence, discipline, and leadership through athletic participation.

Beyond Business: A Legacy of Responsibility

At Emami, CSR is not a standalone function - it is woven into the fabric of the company's ethos and decision-making. Every initiative undertaken, every partnership built, and every life touched is a reflection of its founding vision: to grow with purpose, to succeed with conscience, and to lead with humanity.

In every sphere - from the classroom to the clinic, from the self-help group to the art gallery - Emami's CSR work reflects a singular purpose: to touch lives and transform them for the better.

This commitment stems from a deep recognition that India's progress is not measured merely in financial terms, but in the dignity of its people, the inclusivity of its opportunities, and the compassion of its enterprises.

At Emami, we do not serve society out of duty - we serve out of devotion. Our purpose is to nurture humanity, our passion is to empower India, and our promise is to always grow together.
