Businesses should respect the interests of and be responsive to all its stakeholders
We value stakeholder involvement across our decision-making and operations, enhancing our grasp of social, environmental, and economic landscapes. We have built mutually beneficial relationships which are crucial for positive outcomes. Guided by our stakeholder engagement policy which is overseen by the Stakeholder Relationship Committee chaired by an Independent Director, we ensure compliance with Companies Act 2013. This ensures effective governance and sustainable practices, ensuring stakeholder voices shape our strategic initiatives for collective prosperity.

Essential Indicators
1. Describe the processes
for identifying key stakeholder groups of the entity.
The successful involvement of our stakeholders is essential to
the achievement of our strategic goals because it provides us
with the opportunity to understand their expectations, respond
to their concerns, and assist us in prioritising the areas in
which we should be concentrating our efforts. Our mechanism for
engaging with stakeholders is governed by our Stakeholder
Engagement Policy (https://www.ambujacement.com/Upload/PDF/Ambuja-Stakeholder-Engagement-policy-18-oct.pdf),
which is further aligned with global best
practises.
Ambuja identifies its stakeholders as groups
and individuals, who can influence or/are impacted by our
operations/
activities, change in technology, regulations, market and
societal trends either directly or indirectly. Stakeholders
comprise of communities, employees, supply chain partners,
customers, investors, regulators, industrial
organisations etc.
Against each group, the potential ways in which stakeholders
will be affected as well as the magnitude of both
the actual and perceived impacts have been determined. This
assists the company in developing a bespoke plan
for engaging with stakeholders, which can then be kept up to
date as and when is necessary.
Throughout the course of the year, we maintain ongoing
dialogue with the stakeholders by utilising a variety
of channels of contact. The insights that we gain from these
projects are tremendously helpful, because they
allow us to continually enhance both our strategy and our
operations. The process of engaging stakeholders also
includes regular feedback and grievance redressal methods, both
of which are vital components of the process.
