GVK - Foundation

Corporate Social Responsibility is not a goal. It is a vision whose horizon perpetually recedes demanding ceaseless vigilance, continuous investments and unrelenting dedication to the ideals that unite GVK enterprises.

Speaking against a background of cataclysms and shocking revelations in the global corporate arena, it is essential to emphasize that social responsibility is not about supporting a few visible causes.

The point of departure is that, beyond capital investments, the operations of any corporate has social costs as well as benefits. Social responsibility begins by assuring that the social benefits of our operations far outweigh the social costs.

Thus, social responsibility would be in consonance with good corporate governance, efficient utilisation of resources and protection of stakeholder and consumer interests.

Beyond this, successful corporates can extend resources and take initiatives for socially relevant activities and causes. However, without adhering to the minima of corporate ethics, all such efforts would be meaningless.

GVK believes that its leadership stature goes beyond business success in terms of numbers and figures. It is more about fulfilling its social responsibility in the larger sense of the word.
