Philosophy
India’s population growth rate is increasing day by day, putting pressure on the limited resources and leaving many Indians in absolute poverty this is further coupled with illiteracy which is yet another major hurdle in the economic development of the country. The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) was introduced in India to address these concerns. While there may be no single universally accepted definition of CSR, each definition that currently exists indicates the impact that businesses have on society at large and the societal expectations of them. Zycus has always committed to the cause of social service and has repeatedly channelized a part of its resources and activities such that it positively affects the society socially, ethically and also environmentally. Being a good corporate citizen is an integral part of Zycus. With the advent of the Companies Act 2013, constitution of corporate social responsibility policy became a mandatory requirement. Therefore Zycus seeks to formulate a robust CSR policy which encompasses its philosophy and guides its sustained efforts for undertaking and supporting socially useful programs for the welfare and sustainable development of the society.
