Overview
At Bharti, CSR is a way of life. Each department and employee strives to be sensitive to the stakeholders
and environment within their work context. Bharti encourages employees to take decisions and design
business-linked processes that are sensitive to communities and environment.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Bharti encompasses much more than only social outreach
programs. It is an integral part of the way Bharti conducts its business. The essence of Bharti’s commitment
to Corporate Social Responsibility is embedded in the ‘Corporate Values’, which stem from its deepest held

Bharti Airtel sensitizes its employees towards CSR issues at various forums. We feel that it is important that
each employee should understand the importance of environmental, social and economical aspects while
taking business decisions. At Bharti, each employee is sensitized towards CSR issues and thus operations
at the ground level are influenced. Such sensitization exercises have resulted in many socially and
environmentally sensitive decisions on the ground. For example, Confidence Plan for hearing impaired
people, covers noise-making DG sets at extra cost, investing in consumer awareness campaigns to ensure
safe use of mobile are some examples of the above.
