India faces enormous challenges in provision of basic public services to large parts of the population, both in rural and urban centers. A lot of ground is to be covered in improving the quality of these services, albeit at a reasonable cost. There is also a growing realization that complex and seemingly insurmountable social problems cannot be solved by individual organizations or a single stakeholder group. It requires different parts of the ecosystem such as funders, government, non-profits, corporates and media to work collaboratively to create long-term social change.

In doing so, Piramal Glass Limited (PGL) believes that:

• It can play a meaningful role in bringing professionalism, leadership and discipline to projects in pursuit of Corporate Social Responsibility

• Innovation can play a crucial role in developing ‘out of the box’ solutions to seemingly intractable problems

• It is crucial that any solution backed by the Company has the potential to achieve scale and be replicable across large geographies of India. In doing so, the Company actively seeks partnerships, with government and private entities, in an open source relationship that seeks to maximize the impact of its solutions The CSR policy of the Company is guided by the core values of the Group, namely, Knowledge, Action and Care. CSR has become mandatory from FY2014-15 under the Companies Act, 2013. However, the Company has been pursuing CSR initiatives even before it was mandated by law.

For FY2016, the Company collaborated and proposes to continue to collaborate with Piramal Enterprises Limited (PEL), which already pursues various CSR activities in a significant manner and the said collaboration is with respect to the activities of Piramal Foundation for Education Leadership (PFEL). PFEL aims to develop leaders by building leadership of Government schools, improving Student Learning Outcomes and through Fellowship Program, developing young Fellows into nation builders. It also carried out various CSR initiatives at Kosamba & Jambusar in Gujarat, where the plants of the Company are located.
