Education

The Rural Education Program (REP), the flagship CSR initiative of the SRF Foundation, focusses on strengthening 110 government schools in underserved regions such as Nuh, Haryana, through a Public–Private Partnership model. The program adopts a holistic approach covering infrastructure development, academic enhancement, digital inclusion, and leadership development for headmasters and teachers.

Our Anganwadi Development Program (ADP) supported 308 Anganwadis by improving infrastructure, strengthening academics, promoting digital inclusion, and building the capacities of 297 Anganwadi workers and 267 helpers. These interventions positively impacted 14,567 children aged 0–6 years.

Together, these initiatives have improved enrolment, attendance, learning environments, and access to quality education, benefiting 45,000+ students and contributing towards holistic child development and sustainable community development.

Vocational Skills Program

Driven by our belief that skilling is a powerful catalyst for transformation, SRF Foundation focusses on delivering quality education and vocational training to underserved children and youth across India. We collaborate with likeminded partners to strengthen infrastructure in government schools, promote computer-aided learning, and enhance digital access for communities. Our initiatives are aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, with a specific emphasis on vocational education for students from Classes VI to XII, enabling them to explore diverse career pathways and build practical, future-ready skills.

In line with this approach, we have partnered with multiple organisations to implement a collaborative skill development initiative aimed at empowering youth and to enhance employability and income opportunities. While our partners contribute technological expertise through the establishment of training centres, lab infrastructure, and curriculum design, SRF Foundation leads on-ground implementation, including community mobilisation, training delivery, and placement facilitation. This partnership enables the delivery of a comprehensive and impactful programme that creates meaningful opportunities for youth and contributes to the broader development of the communities we serve.

Our team undertook focussed initiatives to enhance education and infrastructure at Panchayat Union Middle School, Nambampatti. Key interventions included upgrading learning facilities, improving sanitation and hygiene infrastructure, and creating a more conducive environment for students.

These efforts contributed to better student engagement, attendance, and overall learning outcomes. The initiative reflects our commitment to strengthening grassroots educational ecosystems and supporting holistic child development. It also reinforces our approach of driving sustainable community impact through targeted and need-based interventions.

Environmental Sustainability

We continue to implement Natural Resource Management (NRM) interventions such as water harvesting and groundwater recharge, including sustained support for earthen dam structures developed in collaboration with partners like SPACE (Society for Promotion and Conservation of Environment).

Product Labelling

Across our operations, we uphold strong standards of responsible product stewardship and are committed to providing detailed and accurate product information with transparency and clarity. Comprehensive labelling forms a key part of this approach, with each product clearly displaying essential details such as recommended usage, grade specifications, dimensions, gross weight and relevant regulatory information – enabling safe and effective use by customers.

To further support safe handling and compliance, we provide comprehensive documentation where required, including Safety Data Sheets, Zero ODS compliance details, handling instructions, and hazard classifications for regulated substances. Our Chemicals Business aligns not only with domestic regulatory requirements but also with internationally recognised frameworks such as the Globally Harmonised System (GHS), Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) regulations, and the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code, ensuring adherence to global safety and labelling norms.

Sustainable Product Offerings

At SRF, sustainability is integral to our product development philosophy and operational approach, guiding innovation, manufacturing, and growth. We remain committed to delivering solutions that balance environmental responsibility with affordability and scalability. By embedding design thinking, advanced technologies, and innovation into our processes, we develop products that meet evolving customer requirements while minimising environmental impact and optimising resource efficiency.

This commitment is reflected across our diverse portfolio. In Performance Films & Foil business, we offer ‘planet-first’ packaging solutions, including films with post-consumer recyclates, downgauged structures, mono-material recyclable solutions, and ultra-high barrier films that extend shelf life and reduce food waste. In fluorochemicals, we have progressively transitioned to lower global warming potential refrigerants, and as India’s only manufacturer of F134a and leading manufacturer of F32, we ensure quality, cost efficiency, and supply reliability through integrated capabilities. Our specialty chemicals business further advances this agenda by expanding beyond fluorine chemistry into complex custom synthesis and contract manufacturing, supporting innovation-led and sustainable growth.

Responsible Supply Chain

An effective and responsible supply chain is critical to the resilience and sustainability of our business. At SRF, we place strong emphasis on working closely with our suppliers, recognising that their operational, environmental, and ethical practices directly influence our own performance and the integrity of our products. We focus on nurturing long-standing partnerships grounded in transparency, collaboration, and mutual trust, while promoting shared accountability across every stage of the value chain.

To clearly communicate our expectations, we have a Supplier Code of Conduct that defines the standards and principles suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors are required to follow. The Code reflects our core values and reinforces our commitment to ethical conduct, regulatory compliance, and responsible sourcing across our supply network:

To reinforce responsible sourcing practices, we actively engage with our suppliers and procurement teams through regular training and awareness programmes. These sessions focus on adherence to our Supplier Code of Conduct, respect for human rights, and alignment with broader sustainability objectives, including the adoption of recycled and reused materials wherever feasible. Our ESG Committee oversees the policy/Supplier CoC for engagement with suppliers on ESG parameters.

For the procurement of critical raw materials, we have put in place long-term supplier partnerships underpinned by formula-based pricing models and automated ordering processes. These measures help ensure supply continuity while enhancing transparency, efficiency, and accountability across procurement operations. In addition, we support the “Make in India” initiative by progressively increasing the share of locally sourced raw materials, thereby strengthening domestic supply chains and promoting sustainable sourcing practices.
