The Group has not carried any provisions for corporate social responsibility expenses for the current year and previous year. The Group does not wish to set off any excess CSR amount spent during the year 2019-20 against the current year’s CSR obligation. The Group does not have any ongoing projects as of 31st March 2021 as defined under Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility Policy) Rules, 2014 (as amended), the company said.

“Our work in the community is carried out through Cipla Foundation, the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) arm of the Company. We follow a collaborative approach in our outcome-oriented social change initiatives that aim to fulfill our vision of building an equitable world. While our long-term goal remains to support Agenda 2030, as laid out by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, we also address immediate challenges.”, the company added.

“At Cipla, our CSR programs are in line with the CSR Policy of the Company, which is updated to include best-in-class governance mechanisms and statutory amendments.

The Foundation works with credible institutions, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), government agencies, domain experts, visionaries, and other philanthropic foundations (as permissible under the CSR Rules) to enhance the outreach of our CSR initiatives. The Foundation maintains the highest standards of compliance and due diligence, with robust auditing and monitoring mechanisms to govern our engagements with partners and stakeholders, the company further added.

The Foundation works across four key CSR focus areas – health, education, skilling, and environmental sustainability & disaster response – in India and South Africa. In addition to the contribution towards these four key thematic areas, Cipla Foundation has also undertaken initiatives to serve the community at large in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

‘Caring for Life’ has been at the forefront of Cipla’s business philosophy and remains the principal purpose of doing business. This philosophy is seamlessly integrated into Cipla’s people, products, and processes and is the foundation and underlying objective of the Corporate Social Responsibility Policy of Cipla Limited (‘the Company’). Cipla strives to create a healthier world and enrich the lives of all our stakeholders and community at large through our CSR initiatives. Some of these initiatives were put in place long before the CSR law came into effect.
