We strongly believe that our primary obligation or duty as corporate entities is to our stakeholders-we are just as mindful of the fact that this imperative does not exist in isolation; it is part of a much larger compact which we have with our entire body of stakeholders: From employees, customers and vendors to business partners, eco-system, local communities, and society at large.

We evaluate and assess each critical business decision or choice from the point of view of diverse stakeholder interest, driven by the need to minimize risk and to pro- actively address long term social, economic and environmental costs and concerns.

We believe that there is no contradiction between doing well and doing right. Indeed, doing right is a necessary condition for doing well.
