CIL’S POLICY FOR CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR)

The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility has gained prominence from all avenues.
Organizations have realized that Govt. alone will not be able to get success in its endeavor to uplift
the downtrodden of Society. With the rapidly changing corporate environment,more functional
autonomy, operational freedom etc. Coal India has adopted CSR as a strategic tool for sustainable
growth. For Coal India in the present context, CSR means not only investment of funds for Social
Activity but also Integration of Business processes with Social processes.

Even much before the issue of CSR became global concern, Coal India was aware of its Corporate
Social Responsibility and was fulfilling the aspiration of the Society through well-defined
“Community Development Policy” within the periphery of 8 Kms. of the Project sites. This has
resulted into a harmonious relationship between Coal India and the peripheral Communities.

VISION
To emerge as a global player in the primary energy sector committed to provide energy security to the
country by attaining environmentally & socially sustainable growth through best practices from mine
to market.

MISSION
To produce and market the planned quantity of coal and coal products efficiently and economically in
an eco-friendly manner with due regard to safety, conservation and quality. VALUES Our core values
include equality, justice, transparency and accountability. These are practiced in all spheres of our
business activities. As we put emphasis on dual development, the values are monitored for the entire
workforce by five Central Trade Unions. Wherever the values are not being followed, the issue is
discussed with the management to reach a mutually agreed upon solution. These solutions often have
necessary corrective measures that are taken if required.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES COKING COAL :

These coals, when heated in the absence of air, form coherent beads, free from volatiles, with strong
and porous mass, called coke. • These have coking properties • Mainly used in steel making and
metallurgical industries • Also used for hard coke manufacturing

 SEMI COKING COAL :

These coals, when heated in the absence of air, form coherent beads not strong enough to be directly
fed into the blast furnace. Such coals are blended with coking coal in adequate proportion to make
coke. • These have comparatively less coking properties than coking coal • Mainly used as blend-able
coal in steel making, merchant coke manufacturing and other metallurgical industries

 NON-COKING COAL : These are coals without coking properties. • Mainly used as thermal
grade coal for power generation • Also used for cement, fertilizer, glass, ceramic, paper,chemical
and brick manufacturing, and for other heating purposes

 WASHED AND BENEFICIATED COAL:

These coals have undergone the process of coal washing or coal beneficiation, resulting in value
addition of coal due to reduction in ash percentage. • Used in manufacturing of hard coke for

16
 steel making • Beneficiated and washed non-coking coal is used mainly for power generation •
Beneficiated non-coking coal is used by cement, sponge iron and other industrial plants

 MIDDLINGS : Middlings are by-products of the three stage coal washing / beneficiation
process, as a fraction of feed raw coal. • Used for power generation • Also used by domestic fuel
plants, brick manufacturing units, cement plants, industrial plants, etc.

 REJECTS : Rejects are the products of coal beneficiation process after separation of cleans and/
or middlings, as a fraction of feed raw coal. • Used for Fluidized Bed Combustion (FBC) Boilers
for power generation, road repairs, briquette (domestic fuel) making, land filling, etc.

 CIL COKE / LTC COKE :

CIL Coke / LTC Coke is a smokeless, environment friendly product of the Dankuni Coal
Complex, obtained through low temperature carbonisation. • Used in furnaces and kilns of
industrial units • Also used as domestic fuel by halwais, hotels, etc.

 COAL FINES / COKE FINES : These are the screened fractions of feed raw coal and LTC coke
/ CIL Coke respectively, obtained from the Dankuni Coal Complex and other coke oven plants. •
Used in industrial furnaces as well as for domestic purposes

 TAR / HEAVY OIL / LIGHT OIL / SOFT PITCH : These are products from Dankuni Coal
Complex using low temperature carbonisation of non-coking coal in vertical retorts. • Used in
furnaces and boilers of industrial plants as well as power houses, oil, dye, pharmaceutical
industries, etc.

INTROCUCTION OF CSR ACTIVITIES

The Mines of Coal India and its subsidiaries are located in different parts of the country spread in 8
States, and relatively in isolated areas with little contact to the outside society. Mining of coal has
profound impact on the people living in and around the areas where the mines are established. The
obvious impact of the introduction of any production activity in such areas change the traditional
lifestyle of the original inhabitants and indigenous communities and also change the Socio-economic
profile of the Area. Hence, the primary beneficiaries of CSR should be land oustees, PAP and
those staying within the radius of 25 Kms of the Project. Poor and needy section of the society
living in different parts of India should be second beneficiaries.

In the aforesaid backdrop, policy on Corporate Social Responsibility of CIL is broadly framed taking
into account the following measures: -

a. Welfare measures for the community at large including employees and their families, so as to
ensure the poorer section of the Society derived the maximum benefits.

b. It will take care of land less and project affected persons. Proper rehabilitation of the land
oustees/displaced persons based on R&R policy separately formulated and the expenditure on R
& R issues would be included in the Project Cost.

c. Contribution to the society at large by way of social and cultural development, imparting
education, training and social awareness specially with regard to the economically backward
17
 class their development and generation of income to avoid any liability of employment.

d. Protection and safeguard of environment and maintaining ecological balance.

COMPANY OBJECTIVE
The main objective of CSR policy is to lay down guidelines for the coal companies to make CSR a key business
process for sustainable development for the Society. It aims at supplementing the role of the Govt. in enhancing
welfare measures of the society based on the immediate and long term social and environmental consequences
of their activities. CIL will act as a good Corporate Citizen, subscribing to the principles of Global Compact for
implementation.

AREAS TO BE COVERED

The poor and needy Section of the Society living in different parts of India would normally be
covered. The CSR Programme will also cover the existing components of Special Corporate Plan
(SCP) and Tribal Sub Plan (TSP) for development of the SC and ST population besides development
components for the entire population.For carrying out CSR activities, 80% of the budgeted amount
should be spent within the radius of 25 Km of the projects/mines and 20% of the budget would be
spent on CSR activities within the State/States in which the subsidiary companies are
operating.Chairman-cum-Managing Directors of the subsidiary companies shall exercise their DOP
for according approval for the project within the ceiling limit of said 20% budget.

CSR should be broadly executed by CIL in the areas, which are beyond the jurisdiction of subsidiary
companies. Further CSR for the loss making companies should be undertaken by CIL. Besides, CIL
Board may extend to initiate specific projects abroad, under special circumstances.

2016-17 442.75 489.68
2017-18 390.55 504.51*

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT PROFILE

CIL has full time employees working in CSR departments. Other than those employees, CIL also
encourages other employees to volunteer for CSR activities. Executives from departments such as
Civil, Medical, Finance, Personnel, Marketing are engaged in the monitoring of CSR activities. CIL
also organizes workshops, seminars and other events to sensitize its employees about the CSR
activities of CIL. A new initiative named SwachhtaPakhwada has been started since FY 16-17 in
which majority of the employees of CIL are involved in cleanliness and awareness generation
activities to spread the message of Cleanliness and Swacch Bharat.

OUTCOME AND IMPACT OF CSR ACTIVITIES OF CIL

CIL’s CSR activities have positively impacted the society in various fields. CSR activities of CIL have
helped in creation of basic infrastructure, have made people aware on key issues such as healthcare
and sanitation, helped people fight fatal disease such as Cancer and Thalassemia and have made
people employable through skill training. CIL has also contributed to women empowerment,
environment conservation and welfare of armed forces’ veterans and war widows, Divyangjan and the
elderly people. Providing good education facilities has been one of the core areas of CSR activities of
CIL. SCs and STs form a sizeable chunk of beneficiaries of CSR activities of CIL hence providing
them opportunities for development. Overall. CSR activities of CIL and its subsidiaries have helped
the poor, downtrodden and needy sections of the society taking a leap towards their holistic
development.

STRATEGIC CONNECT OF THE CSR ACTIVITIES WITH THE CORE BUSINESS OF CIL

CIL has adopted CSR as a strategic tool for sustainable growth. For CIL, CSR in the present context
means not only investment of funds for socially beneficial activities but also integration of social
processes with business processes. Even much before CSR became legally mandatory, CIL was
fulfilling the aspirations as a good corporate citizen through its well defined Community Development
Policy aimed at a radius of 8 Kms. around the project areas and mines. CIL aims at supplementing the
role of Govt. in enhancing welfare measures of the society based on the immediate and long term
social and environmental consequences of its business. CIL aspires to be a good corporate citizen,
subscribing to the principles of Global Compact for implementation of its CSR activities.

26
CONCLUSION

The above guidelines would form the framework around which the CSR activities
would be undertaken. Every subsidiary Company should have specific activities to
adopt mostly in their close vicinity of the projects extendable up to the affairs of the
State to which it is belonging. In case of CIL, it should cover the CSR policy at national
level

CSR activities in any State should be preferably done through the subsidiary located in
the state, whether funded by subsidiary or supplemented by CIL. For States without any
subsidiary, CSR activities, if any, shall be done by CIL.

Since CSR Policy of CIL includes all the Community Development activities in a
broader perspective, the CSR Policy of CIL will supersede earlier policies relating to
CSR, i.e.,Policy for Community and Peripheral Development of CIL and its
subsidiaries and incorporated part in the Policy of CIL for Payment of Grant and
Donation under CSR.

Coal India will review the Policy from time to time based on changing needs and
aspirations of the target beneficiaries and make suitable modifications, as may be
necessary.
