7 sustainability success by adopting a culture of responsibility. We approach our R&D with a more sustainable mindset. Green chemistry and flow chemistry explorations are key to this, helping our chemists to design reactions and processes with improved efficiency, reduced waste, and lower environmental impact. The combined capacity and competence of our people is the lynchpin of our growth. Over 1200 scientists in our integrated campus in Hyderabad and our facilities in Manchester and Boston augment both our talent and expertise. We have deployed cutting-edge platforms and technology to accelerate and add value to projects in the drug discovery continuum, working effectively as cross-functional teams with seamless communication with our partners. The Women in Science program gives greater emphasis to employment and empowerment of women and the presence of Diversity & Inclusion ambassadors in our facilities drives real progress. The Shopfloor transformation initiative (SFTI) conceived as part of Sai Nxt is continuing to generate sustained improvement in processes and culture which makes our manufacturing team consistently demonstrate the spirit of ownership and collaboration, winning customer confidence and trust. Our commitment to OH&S provides our stakeholders with an assured partnership. We are stepping up our capabilities to build a safer workplace, establish robust management systems, and operational controls, upgrade to state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities/equipment and build process safety capabilities that are on par with international standards. Our undivided attention was towards health and well-being ensuring vaccination of our employees, and their families including contract employees as COVID-19-related challenges continued to impact health. Additionally, our employee wellness initiative with the motto of mind or body, let’s make it better together, creating a robust program on mental health and awareness for all our employees. Another highlight was building bridges and enhancing our relationship with the community through the Champions for Children program besides other continuing initiatives toward health and education. We paired employee volunteers as mentors with students in government-run schools. The mentors provided virtual academic support and served as role models to the children. This was much-needed support for schools to tackle the COVID-19-related impact on education. Our sustainability journey continues to give us new learning and new aspirations. There is much hope on the horizon, there is a lot to be done and we need to focus on the many positive opportunities that lay ahead. We look forward to continued partnership with our key stakeholders. Sincerely, Krishna Kanumuri CEO & Managing Director We undertook an important step “ ” towards strengthening sustainability across our operations by becoming a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC).
