25% of the shares of the Godrej Group's holding company Godrej & Boyce are held in

a trust that invests back in the environment, healthcare and education. Which means
business is not just about revenues and profits but keeping our land green, our
communities healthy and our kids smart. n 1920, our founder Ardeshir Godrej gave a
donation of Rs. 3 lakhs to the Tilak Swaraj Fund then considered a princely sum for
upliftment of the downtrodden. His gesture of philanthropy grew into Godrej corporate
policy. Giving back turned into our way of saying thank you to the 400 million ndians
who are Godrej loyalists.
SmiIe Train
A 'smile' is perhaps one of the best gifts God has bestowed on us. t helps to forget
worries, sorrows and shortcomings. Some of us are however less fortunate, to be
deprived of this precious gift due to a birth defect commonly known as a Cleft Lip and
Palate. Children with these defects are unable to suckle or chew properly. The
deformity makes these otherwise normal children, objects of ridicule and superstition.

Millions of children in ndia and other developing countries are born with this handicap.
The good news is that almost all can be helped by skillful plastic surgery.

Godrej Memorial Hospital (GMH) along with a US based NGO 'Smile Train' conducts a
program, for helping these very children from poor families. The program consists of
primary consultation and screening followed by expert plastic surgery. The operation
lasts for any where between 45 min. to three hours depending on the extent and
complexity of the defect. Several of the patients are offered follow up speech therapy
and other support services. Children operated at a younger age seem to derive
optimum benefit. Over 300 surgeries have been successfully conducted at GMH till
date. GMH offers surgery and hospitalization to the patient and one attendant
completely free of cost. Deserving cases are also reimbursed travel costs by the
hospital.

TabIe for Two
Godrej instituted the ndian chapter of TabIe For Two' initiative at the World Economic
Forum's ndia Economic Summit in December 2008. This initiative is targeted at
addressing hunger and malnutrition in the developing world by combining the
organization's tradition of serving society and involvement of individuals.

Godrej pledged to collect funds that would be utilized to provide school children mid-
day meals. The fund was created in three ways. Firstly, a 'healthy meal' option was
provided in the canteen menus to the employees. The savings from the reduced use of
oil and sugar were diverted to the central pool of funds for the TabIe For
Two' initiative. This means that each time an employee ordered a 'healthy meal', the
savings contributed to this fund and provided Godrejites with an even healthier
alternative for lunch. Secondly, Godrejites voluntarily contributed a fixed monthly
amount to the fund. Thirdly, the contribution from the 'healthy meals' menu was
matched by Godrej and effectively combined corporate and employee participation.

The initiative has been a great success within the first few months of its inception with
a sizeable fund that is geared to feeding close to 780 school children and providing for
1,56,000 meals annually.
Teach for India
Teach for ndia (TF) is a nationwide movement that aims to narrow the education gap
in ndia by placing outstanding college graduates and young professionals, who commit
two years to teach full-time in under resourced schools. They will become lifelong
leaders working from within various sectors toward the pursuit of equity in education.

Godrej group has pledged to sponsor employees for the TF Programme, as a
contribution towards educational opportunity for all ndians. Godrejite Veena Verma
was one of the recent 94 selected out of thousands of applicants.

The TF Fellowship is a challenging assignment aimed at transforming the participant's
life. As a Teacher, each day is likely to offer multiple opportunities to confront and
tackle challenges, motivate diverse stakeholders to work hard toward a shared vision,
and create and adjust plans to move further towards their intended goals. Every TF
Fellow has two main responsibilities: classroom instructional leadership and community
transformation project.

Green Business Centre: Spearheading the Green RevoIution

The C-Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Center was conceived by Godrej and the Confederation of ndian
ndustry in partnership with the Andhra Pradesh Government. The Green Business Centre is the first building
in the world to receive the Platinum LEED award, making it one of the most environmentally advanced
buildings in the world.

The Green Building is a symbol of Environmental Sustainability. For Environmental Sustainability, one has to
adapt a holistic approach whilst constructing a building and also ensure that this approach is integrated in its
subsequent operation. Also, of optimum importance is Safety during Construction and post Occupancy. A
Green building and a conventional building would visually not look very different, but the difference really lies
in the design, the construction and operational aspects.

A Green Building keeps Environmental concerns in focus in several areas such as selection of site for the
building, selection and usage of materials, architectural features, efficiencies in water and energy
management (including energy efficiency of equipments in the building), indoor air quality and occupant
thermal comfort.
Mangroves
The largest privately managed belt of Mangroves in Mumbai is supported by the Soonabai Pirojsha Godrej
Foundation. This is the first such mangrove area in ndia to formally adopt SO14001 standards for
Environment Management Systems. The vast tract of unique mangrove forests conserved and protected by
Godrej in Vikhroli, demonstrates how industry and nature could well exist in harmony with each other. These
Mangroves serve as the second lung of the city only after Sanjay Gandhi National Park.

The mangrove flora of Pirojshanagar is well diversified. There are 13 species of mangroves and mangrove
associates. The faunal composition with 206 species of birds, 30 species of reptiles, 13 species of crabs, 7
species of prawns and 20 species of fish identified so far in the area - is equally diverse. Mammals like jackals
and mongoose have also been spotted many a times.

The Soonabai Pirojsha Godrej Marine Ecology Centre (SPGMEC) was formally inaugurated and set up under
the leadership of the late ornithologist Dr. Salim Ali. SPGMEC is engaged in conservation of the marine
diversity (mangrove ecosystem) through research, education/awareness building and regular monitoring.
Simultaneously, the centre propagates various species of mangroves, developing theme parks on medicinal
plants and rare endemic plant species, palms amongst others. Every year, around 10,000 visitors learn about
bio-diversity in mangroves, its importance and threats for its survival through nature trails, slide shows, film
shows, awareness campaigns, visits to Mangrove nterpretation Centre and articles in newsletters.

WorId Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)
We have been associated with ndia's largest conservation NGO, WWF-ndia, starting with the late Mr. S. P.
Godrej, who was its founder Trustee and President to Jamshyd Godrej who is currently the President of WWF-
ndia and the Vice President of WWF-nternational. WWF-ndia began as a modest, wild-life conservation
organisation. Over the years, the perspective has broadened to encompass conservation of habitats and
ecosystems and to lend support to the management of the country's protected area network. Our commitment
to global conservation is reflected in our continued association with WWF.

The WWF-ndia Secretariat is housed at the Pirojsha Godrej National Conservation Center (PGNCC) in New
Delhi. The PGNCC was inaugurated on November 3, 1989 by then President of ndia Mr. R. Venkatraman, in
the presence of the President of WWF-nternational, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh.

Nature has blessed our country so richly. Yet, instead of being trustees of Nature, we have degraded our land
to lower depths than many less fortunate countries. We have been associated with TRAFFC-ndia (Trade
Record Analysis of Flora and Fauna in Commerce), a division of WWF-ndia, which is responsible for
monitoring and studying legal and illegal trade in wildlife and its derivatives, thus contributing to the
enforcement aspects of bio-diversity conservation. Our contributions to the cause received a boost, when the
late Chairman, Mr. S. P. Godrej was conferred with the WWF 25th Anniversary Benefactor "White Pelican"
Award.
Trees and Afforestation
t has been our endeavour to protect our forests and propagate greenery. The Godrej name has always
associated with Trees. The late Mr. S. P. Godrej had been the Vice-President of the National Society of the
Friends of Trees and Mrs. Pheroza Godrej is its current President. For the past many years a well-stocked
Tree Bank is maintained at Pirojshanagar and saplings are generously distributed, free of cost to voluntary
organisations engaged in afforestation work.
UdayachaI SchooIs: Providing QuaIity Care and Education
Udayachal schools (pre-primary, primary and secondary), managed by Godrej, have been providing quality
care and education since 1955. Education in the schools focuses on total personality development of the child,
which is further enhanced and strengthened through joyful learning. This takes into account the physical,
socio-emotional, aesthetic, spiritual as well as mental growth.

Teachers here play various roles that of a facilitator, counselor, guardian and a learner. The individual needs
of each student are catered to, ensured by a healthy teacher child ratio.

Great emphasis is laid on creativity pioneering in recycling waste material such as paper, glass, metal,
plastic etc. in the art and craft classes, and also using them to make teaching aids. Even used paper is
transformed into beautiful creations of Papier-mache. On the technical side, subjects such as carpentry, fitting,
electronics, plumbing and computer skills are offered.

Environment consciousness is kindled in every child through various programmes marking World Wetlands
Day, World Population Day, World Forestry Day etc. to name a few. With SO-14001 certification, Udayachal
Schools are doing their bit towards the environmental concerns.

There is a constant endeavour to create a happy and fun-filled learning environment for children. Through
experiential learning, young inquiring minds are developed. Children are given freedom to discover, explore,
question and make choices. They are active initiators of their own learning process through which they strive
to reach their true potential.

Godrej MemoriaI HospitaI

The Godrej Memorial Hospital (GMH) has treated 35,000 patients and performed 3,128 surgeries since
inception. We provide quality healthcare services at an affordable cost in a rational and ethical manner. We
have free well-equipped cardiac ambulances to attend to medical emergencies in a 10 km zone. An Anti
Retroviral Treatment Center in association with NACO is available for HV patients.

GMH was set up by Godrej Memorial Trust. The objective of the hospital was to create a balance between the
philanthropic hospital in the city and the private hospitals. For this, an alternate business model was created
which would emulate philanthropic hospitals but have high quality healthcare services at an affordable cost.

The hospital has implemented this unique business model, and today even the highest rates in the state-of-
the-art hospital are 40-60 percent lower than other private hospitals. The model is inspired by the concept of
Sustainable Philanthropy. This model was adopted with the belief that a wholly philanthropic model would not
be sustainable and would grow only in a very limited sense.

GMH has been awarded the NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals) accreditation w.e.f. 1st July
2009. GMH is now in the league of a select few hospitals in ndia to have achieved the same. The hospital has
to comply with more than 500 predetermined objectives to receive NABH accreditation. The accreditation
assures 'Quality of Care & Patient Safety' in accredited Hospitals. NABH standards are accredited by
nternational Society for Quality in Healthcare (SQua) as consistent with its global benchmarks.

AIDS Awareness
Godrej supports The Heroes Project in trying to bring an end to misconceptions and in spreading awareness
about HV and ADS. n addition, employees are urged to take preventive care to combat ADS through
posters, hand outs, street plays and talks.

Heroes ADS Project is a national initiative launched in July 2004 to work with media organizations and
societal leaders in ndia. t seeks to develop coordinated campaigns to address the spread of HV & ADS and
reduce stigma and discrimination by influencing public perception and policy through two platforms: advocacy
and communications.

The project had its beginning in a fund raising event for pediatric ADS organized by Mrs. Parmeshwar Godrej
called 'A Time for Heroes, ndia'. The event, held in December '02 was hugely successful and brought
together ndian media, entertainment and business houses which committed to use their combined strength to
advocate on issues related to HV and ADS.

ndia, with its population of over one billion people, requires timely and sustained intervention in the area of
HV and ADS. Heroes ADS Project aims to harness ndia's communication power by converting the passion
and ideals of a small but powerful core of concerned individuals into tangible actions by the government and
public in ndia. The Project seeks to advocate with the ndian government to strengthen existing methods of
information distribution; and create a range of communication materials to complement advocacy and media
initiatives so that the public is connected to important HV and ADS related services.

Twenty-eight television PSAs and numerous radio PSAs productions and around 29,000 times their airing
across various media networks later, Heroes ADS Project is the largest non-governmental media campaign
garnering nearly fifty-percent of the media exposure on HV and ADS in ndia.

Foundation is intended to develop an alternative model the immunological concept regarding leprosy cure.
Through a rural health and research project, Godrej has striven to develop an alternative model for rural health
care based on community participation, with the emphasis on preventive rather than curative aspects.
Preserving our Heritage
Godrej's devoted effort to preserve ndia's architectural heritage, is best expressed by its active participation in
the ndian Heritage Society of which Mrs. Pheroza Godrej is a past President and the late Mr. S. P. Godrej
was head of the Mumbai Chapter. The introduction of the annual Urban Heritage Award is an attempt to make
the citizens of Mumbai aware of the city's colourful history, as the primary object of the ndian Heritage Society
is to awaken consciousness of the people in the diversity and richness of their art, architecture and culture.
But it is also the objective of the society to deal with natural resources such as wild life, forests, mountains,
sea, beaches, lakes and rivers and rare geographical formations. t draws attention to the dangers which
threaten these irreplaceable resources and calls for action to protect and preserve them.
Indian CounciI of WorId Affairs (ICWA)

FamiIy PIanning
Godrej has been connected with the Family Planning Foundation, which is a voluntary organisation devoted to
promote Family Planning as a basic human right, as well as population Policies which can help bring about a
balanced development of the resources of the country-both human and material - as a means towards raising
the quality of life. 'Pragati Kendra' imparts not only information regarding Family Planning but, through various
social and cultural activities, provides for a better quality of life for the inhabitants of the township.

A Family Planning Centre was opened in September 1957. Family Planning advice and conventional
contraceptives at concessional rates were provided. Family Planning Exhibitions were held. A Vasectomy
Centre was opened. Volunteers were trained in an intensive one-week orientation course. ncentives are
offered to persons undergoing vasectomy and tubectomy operations. n 1965 a Research Centre was opened
with the help of Dr. R. P. Soonawala and the Ford Foundation authorities. To give fillip to the family Planning
Programme, the services of two American Peace Corps volunteers were engaged.

The Family Planning Programme is an integral part of the "Family Welfare Programme". A 'Well Baby Clinic'
has been opened for giving advice to mothers about their children's health and hygiene as also for advising
them about UCD and oral contraceptives. About 1135 children have been treated so far at this clinic. This
long-standing Family Planning programme has definitely been able to lift workers into the middle-class, at
least at Godrej.
