Uplifting communities since inception
Our leaders have always actively advocated corporate citizenship through several focused initiatives to give back to society. We are committed to generate inclusive value for the communities we are associated with, achieving excellence and growing together for a brighter future.
Creating an Ecological Balance
We strive to conserve and restore the natural resources we depend on in our facilities, with the objective of leaving behind a brighter and greener future that belongs to everyone. In doing so, we undertake exhaustive measures to rejuvenate natural waterbodies and revive land fertility to offset the imbalance created.
Practicing Sustainable Production and Packaging
We are steadfast in our commitment towards climate leadership in the industry. Our production and packaging processes have significantly evolved over the years to become more environment-friendly, in an effort to reduce our carbon footprint.
Championing Water Stewardship
We are proactively undertaking measures to ensure water conservation and restoration across all areas of operations. Our robust water stewardship policy includes diligent measures to renew water bodies for agricultural and public use, recycling of used water and moving towards water neutral.
Preserving Biodiversity
We aim to preserve the biodiversity of our sensitive environment for a net positive impact. We leverage modern and innovative technology solutions to further our cause in reviving the natural ecosystem in our mining and production sites.
A responsible corporate citizen
We carry out educational and skill training initiatives by running schools and educational institutions through ‘The Ramco Cements Limited Educational and Charitable Trust’. Other charitable initiatives are carried out through ‘Ramasubrahmaneya Rajha Ramco Foundation’..
Our employees also join in the Company’s initiatives for CSR and contribute in building better communities. Ramco Social Service League (RSSL) is a voluntary movement formed by Ramco Cements employees and they contribute every month with matching contribution by Ramco Cements.
