Community Initiatives

Overview
Corporate Social Responsibility is embedded in, and built upon, the stated ‘values’ of Bharti – the institution.
These values guide all our activities and each employee is encouraged to take decisions and design business-
linked processes that are sensitive to communities and environment.

“We have an obligation to fulfill to society and the communities in which we operate, and help improve the
quality of life for everyone, today and in the future.”
Based on the basic guidelines and direction provided in the Code of Conduct, Bharti has undertaken many
community programs.

Bharti’s contribution to society is structured through two channels, namely,


(a) Bharti’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Initiatives, including initiatives undertaken by way of employee
mobilization as well as running environment related programs; and
(b) Bharti Foundation, a separate vehicle established in 2000 to lead the CSR agenda of Bharti Group of
Companies

(a) CSR Initiatives @ Bharti Airtel

Bharti Airtel has a nation-wide presence that has grown at an exponential rate in the recent years. Each local
office undertakes special programs for the local community, thereby reaching out to people. Many projects like
material collection drive and blood donation camps are organized for the welfare of the underprivileged
community. Bharti constantly searches for new, innovative ways of reducing the consumption of resources, with
the aim of leaving a better and greener earth for future generations.

Response to Disaster

Bharti Airtel’s response to Tsunami Disaster: Bharti Airtel undertook the following initiatives for immediate relief
and rehabilitation to Tsunami victims:

• Built a mobile network in Andaman & Nicobar islands in less than 3 months to aid rapid rehabilitation of

the island

• Donated Rs. 1 Crore to the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund, in addition to contributions from employees

• Created 29 Airtel Crisis Communications centres in Tamil Nadu

• Raised resources for Tsunami victims by initiatives such as a ‘Benefit Cricket Match’

Employees of Bharti Airtel also contributed through a Donation Collection Drive, with a difference. All employees
were not only given the freedom to choose the amount they wished to donate, but also the agency they wished to
donate to.
One if the most memorable actions was the heroic way in which a Bharti employee re-established connections
after Tsunami hit Tamil Nadu. After being washed away by the wave, this employee went back to work on
restoring connectivity for the struck region. Word of his dedication spread within Bharti and he received
tremendous response from his fellow Bhartians. Over 80 emails addressed to him were and presented to him in
recognition.
Bharti Airtel’s response to Assam, Bihar and West Bengal floods: Bharti Airtel also partnered with an NGO to
provide relief to the flood victims in the flood hit areas of Assam, Bihar and West Bengal. A ‘Material Collection
Drive’ was undertaken across Bharti offices, for collection of material such as clothes, utensils, footwear, blankets,
dry ration and monetary donations. 55 cartons of clothes and 65 kilos of ration were dispatched, in addition to
monetary contributions.

Bharti Airtel during Mumbai Floods: Bharti Airtel employees climbed up the towers to restore the networks so
that our customers could conveniently reach its employees.

Bharti Airtel’s response to Kashmir earthquake: Bharti Airtel’s ‘Rapid Response Team’ responded to the
Kashmir earthquake by bringing more than 2000 food packets and water bottles to the affected area. Money,
clothes, woolens and blankets were also collected from employees to distribute among earthquake victims.

Environment, Health and Safety

Overview

At Bharti we believe in the philosophy to refuse, reduce, reuse and recycle. The company has taken many
initiatives in this regard, both within the offices for the benefit of our employees; and for outside world for the
convenience of the people

Few examples of the initiatives taken are mentioned below:


(a) Most of the new Airtel buildings recycle waste water for sanitary and cooling of equipment purposes e.g. DG
sets and AC systems. These buildings also have rain water harvesting systems for ground water replenishment
where appropriate.

(b) All Airtel offices have energy efficient light fittings and DG sets. We also ensure automation that enables
energy savings in our buildings. Building Management System (BMS) – Intelligent Building concept is being
followed in all the new Airtel building and campuses that are coming up. The BMS controls The Heating,
Ventilation and Airconditioning (HVAC) system,, electricity load management, water management, parking
management, security and safety systems to ensure an efficiently run building on optimal resources.

(c) New buildings also incorporate the concept of and Energy Wheel which optimises energy efficiency in
buildings. The AC system in our buildings adds a certain amount of fresh air periodically; In the process of adding
this fresh air the cool air within the building vents out which may result into higher usage of energy to bring the
cooling/ temperature back. The Energy Wheel concept ensures that as we bring the fresh air in it is pre-cooled
thereby optimizing energy efficiency.

(d) Air quality is checked periodically in all Bharti Airtel offices, and based on the results, duct cleaning, carpet
cleaning, chair and sofa shampooing is undertaken. Water quality is also monitored in cooling towers for DG sets
and Air Conditioner systems so that water born diseases such as legionella, etc. are avoided.

(e) Use of air curtains on major office exits and double glazing also results in significant energy saving.

(f)At the time of oil change in DG sets etc. the discarded oil for disposal is only sent to companies/ vendors
approved by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) for proper disposal as per CPCB approved processes. All
Bharti Airtel offices follow the basic requirements specified by the Pollution Control Board) and ensure statutory
compliance.

(g) All Bharti Airtel offices have fire alarm systems. Periodic fire drills are carried out in Bharti Airtel offices as a
practice. All Airtel offices are provided with First Aid boxes and have identified people as First Aid specialists..

Bharti Airtel takes all its equipment from its key vendors, namely Nokia and Ericsson, who comply with all the
required health and safety norms. Each contract with the supplier has a clause that they will comply with our code
of conduct and each year suppliers have to give Bharti Airtel a certificate that they are compliant. There is an
induction manual for sub-contractors to ensure that they follow all the safety and statutory compliances as well as
Bharti Standard Operating Procedures.

Bharti Airtel is in the process of finalizing its Environment/ Health & Safety Policy (EHS) and will apply for ISO
14001 compliance within the next 3 years for each of its facilities.

For outside world

Reduce Paper usage: Due to technological innovations such as e-bills and electronic recharging, Bharti Airtel
customers are given a chance to help save the environment. This has led to the major achievement of paper
savings of approximately 32,500 sq meter every month. This leads to the saving of 96 trees every year. In
addition, as per calculations during 2005-06, and is continuously improving since then. We save 49,000 sq meter
in plastic monthly as the reduced usage of paper coupons and bills. These results are all the more remarkable, as
these paper savings were achieved despite our customer base increasing.

Sharing Infrastructure: We promote and believe in sharing of infrastructure (passive) with other telecom
operators. This ensures that we can continue to serve our customers while utilizing minimum resources. This is of
great help in nation like ours where we have a huge burden on our natural resources
At present, we share around a quarter of our mobile cell sites across the country, with other service providers.
We have extended our approach of sharing even for the rural areas, where it makes lesser business sense for
operators to roll out. Our efforts have been well acknowledged by the regulator and the government, who have
initiated efforts for shared rural roll out .

Reducing Fuel Consumption due to travel: Bharti, having grown to be a large company on many counts, faces
the key issue of operations coordination. While one would usually coordinate with others through face-to-face
meetings, Bharti has institutionalized the habit of using videoconferencing and intranet facilities to interact. This
significantly reduces the need for transport and thereby fuel consumption, it saves on time and generally creates a
much more efficient working atmosphere. Bharti’s earnings calls, i.e. sharing the results with our stakeholders,
also happen via audio-bridge. This enables investors and analysts world-wide to link in to the call and raise
queries. Bharti does not stop at providing these facilities for internal use though. By offering our services, we
enable people across the country to follow the same path and cut down on transport. This is not only convenient; it
also saves tremendous fossil fuel consumption.

Green-Shelters: Another key initiative has been the deployment of environmental friendly green-shelters at
around 7,000 sites. These green-shelters use high insulation material and Passive Cooling techniques like PCM, a
thermal salt, for indoor Base Transceiver Stations (BTS). Due to its high freezing point, PCM provides cooling for 4
to 5 hours without any Air conditioning, thus negating any need of electrical power or diesel generator during that
time. This not only saves cost but also minimizes pollution. These green-shelters also keep noise at a minimum.
Bharti is the first company in India to initiate such a measure, and is well ahead of governmental regulations on the
matter.

Our Green shelter initiative has been appreciated by operators across the world and is being studied for mass
deployment in many countries.

Free-Cooling is another technique that we use to maintain temperature level during night hours by circulating
cooler natural air from outside to inside the shelter by reworking air conditioner flows. This has reduced air
conditioner consumption by almost 30%.

Bharti Airtel is also working with its suppliers and experimenting with alternate sources of energy like solar, wind,
bio-fuel/ hydrogen to further reduce environmental impact. We are very keen to look at the viability of these
technologies once experiments are being found to be successful like in the case of Green Shelters.

Advertisement Material: Bharti Airtel uses aqua-based ink for all its in-shop branding, in spite of its cost being
three times the cost of ink which is normally used. The aqua-based ink is environment friendly and does not emit
any fumes and hazard. Sometimes flex materials are used for hoardings, but since they are not disposable these
hoardings are donated to poor people so that they can use it as roof-material on their huts.
Employess

Overview

We believe that one of the most important drivers of growth and success for any organization is its people. At
Bharti Airtel, our ‘Mantra’ for employee delight focuses on 5 Ps – People, Pride, Passion, Processes and
Performance.

Bharti Airtel has been recognized among the Best Employers in the Country for two successive years – being 14th
in 2003 & jumping ahead of several other large conglomerates to an enviable position of the 2nd Best Employer in
the Country in 2004. This is a clear demonstration & acknowledgement of the robust, progressive, people as well
as business aligned Human Resource practices, which the organization has developed and implemented
remarkably in a very short span of time.

Bharti Airtel follows an “open door policy” to approach the management, which helps resolve issues with mutual
agreements. We encourage people to stand up against any unfair treatment for which we have the Office of the
Ombudsman, where employees can raise any issues regarding business and workplace conduct. Bharti ensures
transparency through the various communication policies, strategies and plans. . Regular Employee
Communication Forums provides a platform for the employees to raise issues that require resolution.

Our leaders strongly believe in facilitating and initiating activities that help employees manage their health and
well-being. Our focus always remains to redefine leadership; we develop leaders who enable performance and
inspire their people to unleash their potential. Our people orientation reflects in our vision of being “targeted by top
talent”, and a key aspect of our business focus “building a best-in-class leadership team that nurtures talent at
every level.”

Employee friendly HR policies have been put in place, which amply reflect the organization’s concern for its
people. Some typical examples of these policies and practices include a family-day at office, half day leave for
birthdays, gifts for anniversaries, compulsory 10 days off, festival celebration with family, no official meetings on
weekends, five day weeks, concierge services, call center engagement programs etc. These “care” policies and
practices are applied across the organizational levels without any discrimination.

From self-management workshops to aerobics sessions, yoga classes to provision of relaxation/meditation rooms,
we ensure that every employee keeps a check on his/her fitness. Tie-ups with leading health service organizations
enable our employees to undertake periodical health check-ups depending upon their age. This facility is also
extended to employee family members at discounted rates. The company provides Flexible Group Mediclaim
insurance to all employees, covering all kinds of illnesses, accidents and hospital coverage for serious ailments.
Apart from these specific engagements, we regularly organize health check up camps, eye check-up camps and
stress management sessions. Some of our offices have opened gymnasiums/fitness facilities to ensure that the
fitness fanatics do not have to worry about time constraints to remain fit. At many of our locations, we have hired
psychologists who undertake personal counseling sessions for employees.

Bharti Airtel offers a flexible compensation structure to its employees wherein the employees have the flexibility to
structure their fixed component of their compensation according to their requirements within the ambit of
legislation.

Even a sweeper in the corporate office must understand that, if he does not keep the office clean, the visiting
shareholders could question the company’s ability to manage a business if they cannot manage their premises
well”

Mr. Akhil Gupta

Our Performance Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes are linked with the variable component of our compensation
structure. This component is linked to both the individual performance against his/ her set KRAs (Key Result
Areas) and the overall performance of the business entity that an employee belongs to.
Our leaders and managers understand the need to bring clarity to employees about how their roles, goals and
actions align the realization of organization’s vision and goals.
The mechanisms like Performance Management System (PMS) and Talent Management Process (TMP) are the
key sources of identifying the training needs of the employees and check to competency levels for promotion.
