Quality of Life
Vedanta has significantly invested in acquiring, modernising and expanding manufacturing assets located in geographically dispersed industrial locations. These manufacturing locations have full-fledged lively townships with modern amenities including schools, hospitals, and recreational centres and working facilities built around the core manufacturing or mining units. We not only believe in providing a contemporary life style and amenities for our employees and their families but also the community at large. In order to ensure a healthy work life balance, we encourage socio-cultural activities like get-togethers, birthday celebrations, picnics, yoga, meditation, sports competitions and involvement in community programmes.

Community – Continued Commitment
In 2010, we enhanced value for the communities by expanding our activities and increasing our reach around all of our operations. Being well knit into the social fabric of our communities has enabled us to nurture our social license to operate, and to work hand in hand with the local communities and the environment.

Social mobilisation and the 4P model (public-people-private-partnership) are the two key pillars of our community program.

Stakeholder inclusiveness is an ongoing and systematic exercise for us and not a one off activity with a start and end point. Our commitment to human rights and promotion of local heritage is well ingrained in our stakeholder consultation process. Consistent, open dialogue through various platforms, and building and nurturing relationships with communities near our operations to understand their concerns and recommendations, is an important aspect of the role played by our on teams on the ground. Given the diversity within India, utmost care is taken to respect and adhere to the cultures and traditions of each community we work with. Purpose based engagement with concentrated efforts towards mutuality, maturity, transparency, problem solving and consistency is what defines our stakeholder engagement approach.
