All Smiths India initiatives towards community development have been brought under a common umbrella of Aakriti - reshaping lives by Smiths, which by meaning defines the core of our intent.
Our community initiatives are clustered under the pillars. Namely environment sustainability, healthcare, safety & wellbeing, foster homes for women & children and educational & vocational skills. These pillars have helped a great deal to lay the strong foundation of what came into existence – Aakriti - reshaping lives.
Aakriti continues to strongly adhere to the principles of the CSR and looks for opportunities that not just support people externally but also ensure that the internal workforce is sufficiently involved in making it a collective success.
Another topic close to our business processes is sustainability. Sustainability isn't just about doing what's right for the environment; it's also smart business. Sustainable practices can lead to cost savings through energy efficiency, waste reduction, and improved resource management. Additionally, embracing sustainability can drive innovation, opening up new markets and opportunities.
Some of our sustainability priorities are:
- Culture: Initiatives that promote sustainable practices and environmental consciousness
- Waste management: Practices and systems in place to reduce, reuse, recycle, and properly dispose of waste
- Carbon footprints: Reduction of carbon dioxide emissions through various means, such as renewable energy, green electricity, energy efficiency, and other methods across offices, operations and manufacturing sites
- Customer centric: An outdoor alignment with customers demand on sustainability, driving trust and ultimately business outcomes
