Social Impact Assessment is a part of EIA for getting Environment Clearance for projects (greenfield as well as brownfield). All projects listed in Question No. 12 of Principle 6 have SIA components in-built as part of the study carried out. In addition, impact assessment of the CSR projects is an ongoing process at Ambuja, that continues to assess social impacts using platforms such as regular interaction with the communities for project implementation and monitoring, Community Advisory Panel (CAP) as well as the regular impact assessment at the maturity of the projects implemented across various thematic areas and geographies under operation. Any social impact emerging of these platforms is seriously considered and factored into annual workplan and activities of Ambuja Foundation. Following are the impact assessments conducted during the year 2025-2026.

We have a well defined mechanism to ensure that community grievances are received and redressed effectively. Each of our operational sites has a designated CSR representative who serves as the primary point of contact for community members to raise grievances. These concerns are formally documented in a Grievance Redressal Register (GRR) maintained at each site. In cases where grievances are submitted through the local district administration, they are promptly shared with the relevant Business Unit (BU) heads and recorded in the GRR. Our CSR in charge actively monitors the register and works toward resolving issues in a timely and amicable manner. Beyond formal grievance handling, we regularly engage with local stakeholders to identify emerging concerns and gather feedback on our engagement practices and CSR programmes. We encourage community members to express their expectations and participate in ongoing dialogue.
