It is directly involved in education, environmental protection and community development. In 2004, ITC acquired the paperboard manufacturing facility of BILT Industrial Packaging Co. Ltd (BIPCO), near Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. The Kovai Unit allows ITC to improve customer service with reduced lead time and a wider product range.
n 1985, ITC set up Surya Tobacco Co. in Nepal as an Indo-Nepal and British joint venture. Since inception, its shares have been held by ITC, British American Tobacco and various independent shareholders in Nepal. In August 2002, Surya Tobacco became a subsidiary of ITC Limited and its name was changed to Surya Nepal Private Limited (Surya Nepal).
In 1990, ITC acquired Tribeni Tissues Limited, a Specialty paper manufacturing company and a major supplier of tissue paper to the cigarette industry.

It began in August 2001 with the introduction of 'Kitchens of India' ready-to-eat Indian gourmet dishes.

and
Environmental
Design's (USGBC-LEED) platinum rating - the highest in the order. •
At ITC Green Centre, energy consumption has been reduced significantly through design integration. The building has been designed to maximize the effect of natural light during daytime, largely eliminating the need for artificial ones. At the same time, the window glass, while allowing light inside, does not allow heat. This not only keeps the office cool from inside during the day, but also decreases the load on air-conditioners. Again, there
is minimum exterior lighting to limit night sky pollution. The water consumption has dropped by 40 per cent and, with a water re-cycling plant, the building is now a zero water discharge building. •
ITC Welcomgroup - Empowering Differently-abled people
•
ITC-Welcomgroup has established that if provided with an opportunity to work and become self-sufficient, people who are differently abled can significantly contribute to the workplace, families and the community. ITC-Welcomgroup has taken a positive step in this direction by employing people who are differently abled across its hotels. ITC-Welcomgroup believes that everyone should be treated with sensitivity and empathy. The models it has created have been effective and have succeeded in sensitising other employees to the needs of those differently-abled. Keeping in mind their specific skills, over 100 differently abled have been employed in diverse functions like housekeeping, teleworking, bakery and as musicians. Special badges for the visually impaired, whistles for hearing impaired employees to use in an emergency and sign language classes for the staff to communicate with them are just a few examples of how ITC-Welcomgroup has created an atmosphere of sensitivity and caring.

1)Critical Events that change the course
Indian rural and agri. market is 70% to other resources in India ,but only 30 % of GDP is from agriculture sector . ITC realized it that their cigarette business has a limit further which they wont be able to tap profit and their expansion plans. So diversification was needed in any case to build a foothold in Indian market.
FMCG bieng the fourth largest sector in the field which is expanding at a very fast pace and it has huge potential , along
with the benefit that it can be accrued by organizing the existing fragmented market leading to concept of ‘one stop shop’.
Further India being one of the largest economies with the benefit of its vast market, it attracted ITC to expand its operation in various areas of hospitality, FMCG ,Greeting cards Branded Apparels etc.
1)The Responsibility Factor Preamble Over the years, ITC has evolved from a single product company to a multi-business corporation. Its businesses are spread over a wide spectrum, ranging from cigarettes and tobacco to hotels, packaging,
paper
and
paperboards
and
international
commodities trading. Each of these businesses is vastly different from the others in its type, the state of its evolution and the basic nature of its activity, all of which influence the choice of the form of governance. The challenge of governance for ITC therefore lies in fashioning a model that addresses the uniqueness of each of its businesses and yet strengthens the unity of purpose of the Company as a whole. Since the commencement of the liberalisation process, India's economic scenario has begun to alter radically. Globalisation will not only significantly heighten business risks, but will also compel Indian companies to adopt international norms of transparency and good governance. Equally, in the resultant competitive context, freedom of executive management and its
ability to respond to the dynamics of a fast changing business environment will be the new success factors. ITC's governance policy recognises the challenge of this new business reality in India.
Definition & Function ITC defines Corporate Governance as a systemic process by which companies are directed and controlled to enhance their wealth generating capacity. Since large corporations employ vast quantum of societal resources, we believe that the governance process should ensure that these companies are managed in a manner that meets stakeholders aspirations and societal expectations.
Core Principles ITC's Corporate Governance initiative is based on two core principles. These are : i.Management must have the executive freedom to drive the enterprise forward without undue restraints; and ii.This freedom of management should be exercised within a framework of effective accountability. ITC
believes
that
any
meaningful
policy
on
Corporate
Governance must provide empowerment to the executive management of the Company, and simultaneously create a mechanism of checks and balances which ensures that the decision making powers vested in the executive management is not only not misused, but is used with care and responsibility to meet stakeholder aspirations and societal expectations. Cornerstones
From the above definition and core principles of Corporate Governance emerge the cornerstones of ITC's governance philosophy, namely trusteeship, transparency, empowerment and accountability, control and ethical corporate citizenship. ITC believes that the practice of each of these leads to the creation of the right corporate culture in which the company is managed in a manner that fulfils the purpose of Corporate Governance. Trusteeship:
ITC believes that large corporations like itself have both a social and economic purpose. They represent a coalition of interests, namely those of the shareholders, other providers of capital, business associates and employees. This belief therefore casts a responsibility of trusteeship on the Company's Board of Directors. They are to act as trustees to protect and enhance shareholder value, as well as to ensure
that
the
Company
fulfils its
obligations
and
responsibilities to its other stakeholders. Inherent in the concept of trusteeship is the responsibility to ensure equity, namely, that the rights of all shareholders, large or small, are protected. Transparency :
ITC
believes
that
transparency
means
explaining
Company's policies and actions to those to whom it has responsibilities.
Therefore
transparency
must
lead
to
maximum appropriate disclosures without jeopardising the Company's strategic interests. Internally, transparency means
openness
in
Company's
relationship
with
its
employees, as well as the conduct of its business in a
manner that will bear scrutiny. We believe transparency enhances accountability. Empowerment and Accountability:
Empowerment is an essential concomitant of ITC's first core principle of governance that management must have the freedom to drive the enterprise forward. ITC believes that empowerment is a process of actualising the potential of its employees.
Empowerment
unleashes
creativity
and
innovation throughout the organisation by truly vesting decision-making powers at the most appropriate levels in the organisational hierarchy. ITC believes that the Board of Directors are accountable to the shareholders, and the management is accountable to the Board of Directors. We believe that empowerment, combined with accountability, provides an impetus to performance
and
improves
effectiveness,
thereby
enhancing shareholder value. Control:
ITC believes that control is a necessary concomitant of its second core principle of governance that the freedom of management should be exercised within a framework of appropriate checks and balances. Control should prevent misuse of power, facilitate timely management response to change, and ensure that business risks are pre-emptively and effectively managed. Ethical Corporate Citizenship:
ITC
believes
responsibility
that to
set
corporations exemplary
like
itself
standards
have of
a
ethical
behaviour, both internally within the organisation, as well
as in their external relationships. We believe that unethical behaviour corrupts organisational culture and undermines stakeholder value.
