Report Profile, Scope and Boundary


This Eleventh Sustainability Report covers the sustainability performance of the Company for the period from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014. We report our performance on an annual basis and the last Sustainability Report was published in June 2013.

ITC is headquartered at Virginia House, 37 J L Nehru Road, Kolkata, 700 071 (India).

The contact point for any clarifications on the Report or for requesting additional copies of this Report is Corporate Communications Department at the above address or e-mail: enduringvalue@itc.in.

The reporting principles and methodology are in accordance with the "Comprehensive" option of the fourth generation Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Reporting Guidelines – G4. The Reporting Principles and Standard Disclosures and the Implementation Manual under G4 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines have been followed for reporting on the General and Specific Standard Disclosures. In addition, Sustainability issues for relevant sectors were also considered for materiality identification of ITC's various businesses. The relevant aspects/indicators from GRI-G4 Food Sector supplement have also been considered while reporting the Foods Business performance.

For the 2014 Report it was decided that the reporting boundary would include significant 100% subsidiary companies only. Accordingly, Bay Islands Hotels Limited, Srinivasa Resorts Limited and Surya Nepal Private Limited have been excluded from the reporting boundary of 2013-14. These three subsidiary companies do not materially impact ITC's sustainability performance during the reporting period.

Our Businesses/Units continue to proactively engage with key stakeholders, who either have a major interest or are significantly affected by our operations, products or services.

This Report highlights the Triple Bottom Line dimensions that reflect the organisation's significant economic, environmental and social impacts, or substantively influence the assessments and decisions of stakeholders. Our Businesses/Units continue to proactively engage with key stakeholders, who either have a major interest or are significantly affected by our operations, products or services. The details on stakeholder engagement are covered elsewhere in the Report.

We continue our efforts to influence sustainability practices along the value chain and we intend to extend the process in the years to come, to cover all our significant suppliers. In this year, we have incorporated the performance of 20 exclusive Third Party Manufacturing (TPM) units catering to the Notebooks segment of the Education and Stationery Products Business and ATC Limited, an associate company of ITC as part of our supply chain.

The economic performance reported here is from the Company's Report & Accounts (R&A) 2014, audited by independent External Auditors - M/s Deloitte Haskins & Sells.

The data in the environment & social sections of the Report is based on actual performance of the various businesses, factories, hotels and large offices of the Company and the subsidiary ITC Infotech India Limited. A comprehensive Integrated Sustainability Data Management System has been implemented across the Company to collect, collate and analyse the sustainability performance data of each business. Robust internal systems and controls ensure the overall integrity and credibility of the disclosures in the Report.

In order to obtain an objective and impartial opinion or conclusions on the Report, ITC has been seeking assurance from independent professional assurance providers on all the Sustainability Reports since we started reporting in 2004. In the current year, authenticity of the data and systems disclosed in Sustainability Report 2014 and conformance with 'in accordance' - comprehensive requirements of the GRI G4 guidelines has been verified by M/s KPMG, an independent third party assurance provider. They have conducted the assurance engagement as per the International Standard for Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 and have provided reasonable assurance - the statement of which forms a part of this Report.
