Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
As operators in an industry that potentially has a high impact on the environment, Polyplex is conscious of its corporate responsibility towards habitat and communities.
During the Covid pandemic, the Company across all its locations have made monetary contributions to NGO’s, Hospitals and Govt relief funds. The Company has also donated sanitizers, necessary medical equipments and protective gear for healthcare workers. Various NGO’s have been supported by providing necessary food supplies to the communities around our locations. At our plant locations in Khatima & Bazpur, hospital beds & other necessary medical devices have been provided to civil hospitals.
Habitat
Through an R&D initiative, Polyplex has promoted the use of bio-based renewable raw material and energy for the production of polyester film.
A key component of our carbon offset solutions includes positive eco-action through Tree Plantation drives at plant locations, helping raise the local bio-diversity index etc.
Communities
At its plant location in Khatima, India, the Company runs a school for the past almost three decades with over 2067 students which provide equal educational opportunities to children from all sections of the society.
Under a P.P.P. (Public Private Partnership) model at Bazpur and Khatima, Polyplex has adopted two local schools and government hospitals, providing necessary infrastructures such as furniture and fittings. Polyplex has also undertaken a slew of sports and education sponsorships, besides full scholarships to school-going children of deceased employees.
Polyplex is closely integrated into local communities through comprehensive and sustained social programmes. These include blood-donation drives, donations (cash & kind), installation of potable water coolers in public spaces etc. Polyplex promotes inter-religious harmony through its even-handed support of local religious activities and celebrations.
Polyplex has also contributed to the Rekhta Foundation, which is a non-profit organisation established to promote and disseminate Urdu literature. In line with the requirements of Companies Act 2013, the Company has also constituted a CSR Committee with a dedicated focus on achieving the desired objectives. This Committee is committed to deliver a positive impact across social, economic and environmental parameters.
