| Corporate Social Responsibility |
The Company, being an important constituent of Camellia Plc., the ultimate holding Company, is guided by the Statement of Business Principles enunciated by it for their global operations. The Business Principles, as adopted, cover amongst others, business integrity, health, safety, environment and social issues. The Principles are covered by a laid down framework which is monitored from time to time. Specific emphasis is given to the health, safety and welfare of the workers. These are in addition to the statutory rules as applicable. The Gardens have made important strides in family welfare, child immunization, health tracking and community welfare both in-house as well as for the adjoining villages. Afforestation and environment protections are key areas which are specifically covered and include integrated pest management systems, effluent treatment and community schemes to enhance awareness of protecting the environment. Tea Gardens, in general, are eco-friendly commercial operations and these additional measures enhance the same.
The Goodricke School for Special Education in Siliguri, North Bengal supported by the Company had commissioned in April 2006. It has been specifically designed and equipped for the physically and mentally challenged children. The Directors are proud to be associated with the same.
 It has to be noted that the tea Industry serves a number of social, geo-political and environmental issues. Tea gardens essentially employ in its ranks tribes from remote corners of the country, who belong to the socially underprivileged section. The Government’s emphasis on social upliftment is more than fulfilled by the tea Industry. The gardens also provide subsidized foodgrains, housing, quality medical facilities, schooling for children and other long term benefits to the socially challenged sections of the society. Most of the gardens are located in remote areas and tea garden management have been providing micro administration in such far flung areas and have been indirectly helping State administration in governance.
The Company has ensured that its garden workers have the best possible care and thus have access to fresh drinking water, well equipped hospitals, maternity clinics, crèches, good schools and subsidized rations.
