Businesses should respect the interests of and be responsive to all its stakeholders 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.
