Falcon – A Machine For Mankind

CSR Policy

INTRODUCTION & MEANING OF CSR

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has enforced Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013 regarding Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), effective from 1st April, 2014. As per this provision, every company meeting any of the following criteria during any financial year—

  • Net worth of ₹500 crore or more,
  • Turnover of ₹1,000 crore or more, or
  • Net profit of ₹5 crore or more—

is required to constitute a CSR Committee of the Board and spend at least 2% of the average net profits made during the three immediately preceding financial years on CSR activities.

At Falcon Pumps Pvt. Ltd., we believe that our responsibilities extend beyond our business operations. An organization is accountable not only to its inner circle (management and employees) but also to the outer circle—the society in which it functions. CSR is our commitment to operate ethically and contribute to the social and economic development of the communities we serve.

Through our CSR efforts, we aim to integrate the interests of all stakeholders and align them with the company’s values, strategies, and actions.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Our CSR initiatives are driven by the following core principles:

  • Adherence to ethical standards and transparency.
  • Respect for cultural, economic, and social diversity.
  • Prioritization of community needs and sustainable development.
  • Focus on long-term social impact.
  • Compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
