Social Development is integral to long-term success of any business. At BALCO, we believe that today’s organizations need to be all the time more wary of the impact that their operations have on society at large, and this requires much more than isolated measures. Going beyond the domain of metal production, BALCO lays heavy emphasis on maintaining cordial relationship with its neighbouring communities. With the intention to ensure that the projects/ programs are designed as per the community needs, BALCO established a separate department known as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), led by qualified and experienced professionals in the year 2005. In a climate of heightened social awareness and instant access to information, CSR is a fundamental part of BALCO’s targeted practices, broad objectives, and overall culture.
