from its deepest held beliefs. These Values are:

To be responsive to the needs of our customers
To trust and respect our employees
To continuously improve our services innovatively and expeditiously
To be transparent and sensitive in our dealings with all stakeholders
We encourage our employees to take decisions and design business processes, keeping in mind the
following:
Ethics, fairness and being correct
Meeting and going beyond compliances and legal requirements
Showing respect and sensitivity towards stakeholders and communities, and
Nurturing the environment
We practice our CSR beliefs and commitments through a three-pronged approach:
Engaging with stakeholders
Ensuring stakeholder sensitive policies and practices
Undertaking programs for our employees, community and environment
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.
Community Initiatives
Corporate Social Responsibility is embedded in, and built upon, the stated values of Bharti the
institution. These values guide all our activities and each employee is encouraged to take decisions
and design business-linked processes that are sensitive to communities and environment.
We have an obligation to fulfill to society and the communities in which we operate, and
help improve the quality of life for everyone, today and in the future.
Based on the basic guidelines and direction provided in the Code of Conduct, Bharti has undertaken
many community programs.
