future ready and seize new opportunities; attracting,
nurturing and retaining people then become an integral
part of leadership at all levels. Our Company has always
had a working environment wherein
people
are valued,
respected and professionally challenged to give their best,
and we are focusing on and reinforcing these fundamental
leadership qualities.
We renew ourselves continuously so as to remain a young
company after 66 years of existence. Our determination to
go into details, our commitment to serve customers across
the world, our aspirations to growmeaningfully and our
responsibility towards the people and planet will
determine the tangible and intangible performance of our
Company. We have endeavoured to portray this
mandate
on the cover page.
Our Company has a huge potential to contribute to all
its Stakeholders, and I wish to
recognise the efforts
made by every member of Atul family who is working to
realise the possibilities of our times. My colleagues and I
are privileged to receive directions, encouragement and
guidance from the erudite and experienced Independent
Directors who are amongst the best. Finally, I thank you
for your support in our endeavour to grow Atul in a wider,
more dynamic world.
As we move into the future, may God bless us with both
what we desire and deserve.
Sincerely,
(Sunil S Lalbhai)
Chairman and Managing Director
Leadership is first about managing
self before managing others. Those
in leadership positions in Atul are
receptive to this timeless truth. As
our Company grows beyond its
current boundaries, self managing
leadership becomes even more
critical. We are endeavouring to
promote a work environment
wherein we lead by strength of
our innate and attained abilities
and not simply by the force of our
positions. This is one of the primal
tasks of leadership.
