Legacy Much before the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility had evolved into its present form, Atul Ltd (Atul) has been engaged in serving the society with diverse initiatives in the fields of education, health and infrastructure. Mr Kasturbhai Lalbhai, the Founder of Atul and an Indian legend, ensured complete commitment to community development and welfare in every company he established. The primary reason for the establishment of Atul was to generate large scale employment and consequently improve standard of living in rural India. His passion to give back to the society was reflected in his daily schedule; he spent half a day on growing businesses while the other half was dedicated solely to social service. He appointed Mr Balwantrai Mazumdar, an economist and Mr Siddharth Kasturbhai, his elder son and a chemical engineer, to develop Atul, both of whom continued with the fine legacy. In 1978, Mr Siddharth Kasturbhai laid the foundation of Atul Rural Development Fund in an endeavour to further the rich legacy of his father and bring focus to rural development projects undertaken by Atul. He personally oversaw each project which was being implemented and took keen interest in consistently improving the quality, variety and impact of such projects. Over the years, with an increase in the number and the scope of projects related to serving the society, Atul Foundation was established in 2011 as an umbrella Trust of Atul conglomerate.

Mr Kasturbhai Lalbhai (1894 - 1980) The legacy of Mr Kasturbhai Lalbhai has been synonymous with 3 terms in the broadest sense: excellence, perseverance and trusteeship. Social responsibility must include sympathy, helpfulness and willingness to forego self interest in order to promote the welfare, happiness and contentment of others and of the country as a whole. ~Kasturbhai Lalbhai Mr Balwantrai Mazumdar (1902 - 1981) An economist, Mr Balwantrai Mazumdar was a voracious reader, sound thinker, patient listener and a farsighted professional. He created an atmosphere of camaraderie that brought out the collective best in the people of Atul. He was the moving force behind making the first site of Atul one of the largest eco-friendly manufacturing facilities of its kind in the world. He remained with the Group till the end of his life as did most of the people whoworkedwithMr Kasturbhai Lalbhai. Mr Siddharth Kasturbhai (1923 - 1998) A chemical engineer, Mr Siddharth Kasturbhai dedicated his life towards the development of Atul conglomerate, according equal value to the creation of wealth and service to the society. The principles he upheld of trusteeship in governance, the personal qualities he lived by, of integrity, perseverance, low profile and simplicity and the single-minded devotion he gave to the tasks on handwill remain a guiding force. Make a difference Each one of us canmake a difference, together we can change. ~BarbaraMikulaski The Indian economy is the sixth largest economy in the world by nominal GDP and the third largest by purchasing power parity.

Chairperson's foreword Dear Members, As Atul completes 70 years of incorporation, it gives me immense pleasure in presenting the 2017-18 Annual Report of Atul Foundation. While it is a moment of pride, we are also seized of our responsibility towards the lesser privileged, marginalised and vulnerable. Our commitment to contribute towards the development of the communities we serve dates back to our inception. Our Founder, Kasturbhai Lalbhai, dedicated a significant amount of time to social service and firmly believed in business enterprises as a means to serve society. One of the purposes of establishing Atul was to provide employment to the people living in and around the firstmanufacturing site at Atul. Over the years, while the business and social environment has undergone drastic change, we remain steadfast in our philosophy of business beyond profit. During 2017-18, Atul Foundation has constructed 1,500 individual household toilets in 21 villages with a cumulative figure of 3,500 toilets in 25 villages over a 3 year period. The Foundation undertook several other projects | initiatives during 2017-18 which, amongst others, comprised adopting ITIs in Ankleshwar AND Bilimora (Gujarat) under the PPP model, renovating a school, extending support - monetary (tuition fees, etc) and nonmonetary (notebooks, etc), imparting vocational training to women (beauty and styling, data entry, garment making, etc), constructing roads, planting saplings, upgradingmedical equipment in a hospital, and providing medical aid. As part of its endeavour to serve people in other states, the Foundation extended its footprint in Karnataka andMaharashtra. Atul is inspired by its legacy and is mindful of its responsibilities. We hope that in all that we do, we reflect our commitment to the core values of empathy, integrity, benevolence, collaboration and quality in letter and spirit. I express my gratitude to the Government of Gujarat and the donors for their support to Atul Foundation. One in every five Indian lives below the poverty line, and I look forward to workingwith you tomake a difference to their lives.
