companies based outside of India have 15 women
of the total 34. As the people of Atul, we embrace
such diversities and recognise that our success will
largely depend upon our ability to work together and
without any bias. Atul HR is enhancing processes of
i) recruitment, ii) performance management and
iii) development for building capability.
My colleagues and I deeply
value
the involvement,
critical analysis and encouragement of the distinguished
Non-executive Directors – I am privileged to have
them on the Board of our Company. I appreciate the
efforts of every member of Atul family – we may be
growing in numbers, but our Purpose is common and
shared. I am grateful to our customers for giving us an
opportunity to serve and helping us evolve our vision
and articulate growth related strategies. I recognise the
positive approach of the communities which surround
our production sites in India and the UK. I thank you for
your faith; it brings out the best in us.
We, the people of Atul, will make our Company a
learning organisation as we ‘turn yet another page’ of
our lives. We will learn from an example of a leaf – we
will work efficiently, collectively and silently and with
the realisation that Interdependence is a higher order
than Independence. On behalf of the team Atul, I will
like to assure you that we will work together, summon
what is best in us, with our feet planted firmly in today,
but our eyes cast towards tomorrow. In this journey
into the future, may God give us the courage, strength
and wisdom so that we may go as far as our
dreams
and toil
will take us.
Sincerely,
(Sunil Siddharth Lalbhai)
Chairman and Managing Director
Our
‘visible’
performance
will
ultimately be in proportion to the
‘invisible’ in us – the ‘soft’ or ‘subtle’
in us will decide the ’hard’ or ‘gross’
we deliver. Our endeavour is
therefore to create an environment
wherein we all reveal depth in our
thinking, synergy in our working and
quality in whatever we undertake.
The key need and mandate is to
identify and develop professionally
competent and personally humble
people committed to eternal Values
so that they can provide exemplary
leadership at all levels. We are
convinced that without leadership
nothing is possible and with it,
nothing is impossible.
