IntroductionBetween my past, present and future, there is one common factor: Relationship and Trust. This

(drinking water, improving village infrastructure, construction of schools etc.), environment (effluent

treatment, tree plantation, treatment of hazardous waste), relief and assistance in the event of a natural

disaster, and miscellaneous activities such as contribution to other social development organisations

etc. RIL's CSR teams across its manufacturing divisions interact with the neighbouring community on

regular basis. Its sustainability strategy is based on six focus areas: energy security, growth through

innovation, health and safety, environment, product responsibility and social institution building. For the

purpose of this report, we are focusing primarily on education, not turning a blind eye to other

initiatives.

educational requirements of the community and schools in the neighboring region benefiting

thousands of students from the underprivileged section of the society.

brainchild of Mrs. Nita Ambani, a passionate advocate for the cause of education. Through this

effort, Mumbai Indians supported five NGOs carting out outstanding work in the field of

education - Akanksha, Nanhi Kali, Pratham, Teach for India and Ummeed. As part of this

initiative, Mumbai Indians helped create awareness for the cause of education and the work of

these five organizations through official Mumbai Indian videos, TV commercials that ran through

the duration of the IPL, sale of Mumbai Indians Education for All wristbands as part of the

merchandizing and awareness creation through its radio partners and instadium

announcements during games.

In addition, Mumbai Indians also invited 700 children from all the NGOs to see each of the

Mumbai Indians home games. The Mumbai Indians team joined Mrs. Ambani at the

presentation ceremonies and worked with the media to ensure adequate coverage of the work

of such groups. Mumbai Indians also organized a briefing for the cricket team to interact with

children and staff of all the NGOs.

Through the sale of the wristbands and additional support, Mumbai Indians was able to gift Rs.

11 lacs to each of the groups at the conclusion of IPL 3. This collaboration continued through the

year with an invitation to the groups to send children to attend the Mumbai Indians games at

the Champions League matches in South Africa.

which reduced construction cost as well improved road life and reduced road maintenance

Profit- RILs core business focuses on profits for the organization.

Whether CSR initiatives are part of the strategy/core operations of the

company?It is easy to see that the answer to this is no. The company has mainly concentrated on its

charitable and philanthropic activities but has not tried to merge them with its strategy. Having said

that, the company is increasing its production of natural gas, a cheap and sustainable fuel source. Such

activities indicate that the company may be looking to incorporate CSR with its core business.

Is there an effective stakeholder management process in place?The company has identifies the following stakeholders:

Government and regulatory authorities Employees Customers Local Community Investors and Shareholders Suppliers Trade Unions and NGOs

The company has initiated a number of activities which take care of its stakeholders. A few of them are:
