Corporate Social Responsibility

At SMAL, we feel great responsibility towards the development and betterment of the social and economic conditions of the communities within our vicinity. We are aware that our presence has profound impact on many lives around us in one way or the other. We collaborate very closely with the communities particularly in aspects which can bring about a fundamental change in their living standards.

Education, clean water, and sanitation are the three areas where the basic infrastructure is non-existent, and we have committed ourselves to fill this gap. We have adopted numerous primary schools, middle schools and high schools in villages close to our factory, and have provided them basic infrastructures such as classrooms, books, stationary and clean drinking water. We work passionately to provide sanitation facilities for villages to improve the hygiene conditions. Apart from this we regularly conduct free medical check-ups from time to time in neighbouring villages. These activities and projects also provide our employees and their families a chance to be the part of change that we want to see in our surrounding.

Activities done by SMAL to bring a sustainable change in the society are as follows:
