“Organisations, like individuals, can only survive, sustain and grow with the support and goodwill of the local communities” - Shri. Dhirubhai H Ambani, Our Founder Chairman.

 
 
 
What are we intending to achieve

At Reliance, we firmly believe in our commitment to all our stakeholders. We are aware of our commitment to local communities for ensuring sustainable development. Therefore, we lay high emphasis on understanding the requirements of the local community and embark on initiatives, expending considerable resources, which create long-term societal benefits.

We take utmost care in the selection of community interventions we initiate. Our prime endeavor is to remain focused on creating long-term wealth creation for all local community members irrespective of their gender, ethnic and religious backgrounds.

Being a conglomerate with diverse business interests, across various segments of economy, we are in a position to integrate our services, let that be clean energy, financial services, entertainment and others. We explore to amalgamate potential benefits one segment of the business may offer to the others so that a holistic solution addressing the needs and concerns of local community is found.

 
Our Guiding Principles

Our combined social development initiatives under Reliance Power Group CSR are aimed at raising living standards for local communities. These efforts are guided by the following guiding principles:

  1. The Reliance Power CSR Policy which provides direction to all our CSR efforts is a consolidated policy which will not only cover the Company on a stand- alone basis, but also its subsidiary companies.
  2. As most of the company’s projects are located in remote / rural areas, where basic infrastructure is inadequate and socio-economic profile of the people is relatively weak, the company shall strive to contribute towards improving the quality of life of the local Communities living in these areas.
  3. The company and its subsidiaries shall undertake appropriate CSR measures, which have a direct and positive economic, social and environmental impact with particular focus on areas mentioned in the Schedule VII of companies Act 2013 as well as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
  4. Honor spirit of law and be a responsible corporate citizen while we make every effort to produce clean electricity with emphasis on Energy Conservation and Environment Protection.
  5. Pursue growth through harmony with global community via innovative management aspiring to achieve greater balance between social & economic development.
  6. Aim for inclusive growth, respect culture and customs of every project / plant location and work towards eliminating societal barriers such as poverty, social class, disability and others.
  7. Foster a corporate culture that promotes individual creativity, value of teamwork and social volunteerism.

 

Our greatest strength is that we look at our community interventions as part of our business, not post-profit philanthropy.

 
Our Focus Areas

At Reliance Power, the approach towards CSR is to interweave social responsibility into Company’s mainstream business functions by translating our commitments into the Company’s policies, which not only motivates our employees, but also influences our stakeholders especially partners and suppliers, to embrace responsible business practices in their respective spheres of action.
As part of the CSR mandate, we focus on three key Thematic areas – Education, Healthcare and Rural Transformation (which includes development of infrastructure, skill development, promotion of sustainable livelihood, improving the socio-economic status of women and the youth with two cross-cutting themes of Environment and Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (Sanitation) which complement all our social endeavours.
