Following is the Business Responsibility Report of your company on the Principles, Core Elements & Reporting Framework as suggest in the Guidelines. EARTH Our most important stakeholder CLIMATE CHANGE IS ON THE INCREASE AND IS SHAPING OUR PLANET. OUR DESTINY IS INTERTWINED WITH SURVIVAL OF NATURE, AS WE KNOW IT. At Dabur, our aim is to make our own activities more sustainable and encourage our consumers, suppliers and others to do the same. WHILE WE AIM TO CONTINUOUSLY GROW OUR BUSINESS, WE WISH TO DO THIS IN A WAY THAT REDUCES OUR TOTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT. We are fine-tuning how we source raw materials to how consumers use and dispose of the products and have identified the most significant environmental impacts. AT DABUR, WE DEPEND ON NATURE FOR ITS BOUNTIFUL PICKINGS, WITHOUT WHICH AYURVEDA WOULDN’T EVER HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE. We are equally conscious of giving back more than what we take from our environment, and so we have set ourselves an ambitious target to significantly minimise our impact on the Environment and even help in replenishing the Planet.

Dabur has been in the business for over 127 years, yet it behaves as a young company that appeals and remains relevant to the youth, not just in India but in every part of the world.
