ESG
Introduction
As a responsible corporate, we understand the organization’s responsibility towards
environment
and
society. As we embark on our ESG journey, we believe it is our responsibility to take
holistic
actions in making Finolex a more resilient, sustainable, and nurturing organization. We
strive
to
build long-lasting relationships with our internal and external stakeholders through
continuous
engagement to understand their perspectives, needs, and expectations and integrate their
responses
into our decision-making.
As we stand on the brink of our 42nd year in the industry, we have embarked on our ESG
journey
to
grow holistically as an organization and create value for all our stakeholders. We took
our
first
step in this direction in FY 2021-22 by gaining the ‘Responsible Care’ accreditation
from
the
Indian
Chemical Council. Through this, we strive to drive continuous improvement in safe
chemicals
management and achieve excellence in environmental, health, safety, and security
performance. It
is
our constant endeavour to deliver products and services of the highest quality to our
customers
while ensuring minimal harm to the environment and society. At Finolex, we remain
committed
to
creating a better today and growing with changing times to create a stronger tomorrow.

Our ESG Commitments
(*increase plantation from present 62,000 to 100,000 nos)
A legacy that endures
For us at Finolex, sustainability is not something new. It has been our very essence over the years. Anything we do, has to be done well. Our every action takes into account the larger picture, right now, and into the future. Like the farmers we work for have taught us, the seeds of big ideas we plant today, will only bear fruit in the future. And we have the patience and the will to wait. Whether it is our products, processes, profits, plants, or our parivaar – our family of employees, farmers, dealers, homeowners, plumbers, and the communities we work with – or the environment, our every step keeps them all in mind. We invest in them, in their future, and in our collective future. For us, sustainability is not lip-service. Instead it is nurturing a legacy that endures.

Towards the future
We have many more miles to go, and we don't intend to sleep. There are still parched farmlands we yearn to irrigate, still cities we wish to course through, many industries still left to fuel and many millions of lives filled with potential that lie in wait for us to nurture. We also have a planet that needs to be healed and tended to, respected and nourished.
Over these last 40 years, we feel we are just getting started, and the hardest work still lies ahead of us, and that is what fills us with purpose and excitement for the future. The legacy we have built so far has brought together a large, thriving family. It is a legacy that unites. It is a legacy that makes the future bright and filled with possibilities.
