ETHICAL INITIATIVES
UNDERTAKEN BY SULOCHANA
POSH TRAINING BY SGS
Sulochana recently provided all its women workers a POSH
training conducted by SGS. This was another certification
which helped strengthen our ETI compliance.
With this training, our women workers were able to gain insight
and learn more about Sexual Harassment as a whole. At the end
of the course the workers were successfully able to:
- Understanding of the term ‘sexual harassment’.
- Easily able to identify any uncomfortable situation.
- Know all the legal provisions for their protection.
- Protect themselves by security guards and safety workers.
- Gain insight into emotional trauma.
FREEDOM TO ASSOCIATION AND
RIGHTS TO COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
Since there are no trade unions, the Management has mechanisms in place to facilitate the election of employees’ representatives. They allow workers to freely elect their own representatives. The job of the representative is to act as a liaison between the employees and the upper management. With Freedom Association and the Right to Collective Bargaining being followed, committee representatives are never subjected to discrimination, harassment, intimidation, or retribution for any reasons.

NALAM PROGRAM:
Health & safety for women through accessible education
The Nalam Program was our step towards educating our female workers. Our employees were reached through a peer education program wherein they were sensitised on various topics. Our approach to health and education promotion is peer education, in which community members are assisted to promote health-enhancing change among their peers. We sought for peer education to teach or share health knowledge, beliefs, and behaviour, as well as educate people who may have comparable social backgrounds or life experiences.

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria are a set of operational requirements used by socially concerned vendors and investors to analyse possible investments. Environmental criteria take into account how a corporation behaves as a steward of the environment.
Social criteria look at how the company maintains connections with its workers, suppliers, consumers, and the communities in which it works. Governance is concerned with the leadership of a corporation, executive remuneration, audits, internal controls, and shareholder rights. We adhere to these criteria strictly to ensure our company is an end-to-end socially and environmentally-conscious company.

ENVIRONMENT
Sulochana and its workers have immense respect for Mother Earth and all her bounties. All of us constantly strive to make this planet a better place to live. Sulochana also believes and follows the motto of sustainability, traceability and transparency. Keeping in mind the same, to preserve the green earth, we have nearly planted 27,000 trees. This was done to preserve the Earth’s greenery and keep it intact.
Organic manure is also a staple at Sulochana. We use organic manure that is obtained from the vermi-culture system. The vermi-culture system creates organic manure by recycling cow and human waste. This organic manure in turn is used to grow healthy, leafy and clean organic vegetables in the garden on the premises.
