"Our success is linked to the well-being of the communities we serve. Through our CSR initiatives, we remain committed to contributing to social and economic development while protecting the environment and promoting sustainability."
To see a need and to take the initiative to answer it. To see an opportunity and to develop solutions. That's what we do.
UPL Limited built institutions of excellence to improve quality of education and to raise responsible and skilled human capital in the region.
UPL’s sustainable livelihood programmes focus on strengthening the economic base of communities through farm-based and non-farm-based interventions. The approach is practical and participatory, combining technical training, access to resources, financial linkages, market support, and enterprise development.
We are nurturing an environmentally conscious society by including nature conservation into the core of development and promoting the responsible stewardship of natural resources. Our approach focuses on safeguarding vital local ecosystems while actively engaging communities in sustainable environmental practices, ensuring a harmonious balance between progress and ecological preservation.
Children are the strong foundation of our future. They should be sensitive towards the environment and responsible towards actions which impact the surrounding. The objective of this program is to make the young generation conscious about the importance of nature preservation and conservation and inculcate good practices amongst them. The Eco Clubs have been formed in schools and students participate in environment related activities through these clubs.
We have formed Eco Clubs in community schools. The enthusiastic, environmentally concerned and socially committed students are chosen from each school as Eco Club members and are involved in taking up meaningful environmental activities and projects in their respective schools and vicinity. They manage the green activities such as growing trees, developing medicinal gardens, cleaning-up activities such as collecting waste, recycling and reuse. They are actively involved in the conservation of locally threatened flora and fauna. As of 2026, We have formed 132 EcoClubs and reached over 17,000 students to educate them on environment conservation.
Our water conservation initiatives are designed to address India’s water scarcity challenges through sustainable solutions. Key activities include the construction of check dams and water harvesting structures in Gujarat, aimed at improving water availability and boosting groundwater levels. The programme also focuses on pond deepening, rainwater harvesting and river desilting, alongside training farmers and forming community groups dedicated to sustainable water management. These efforts have significantly contributed to groundwater recharge, enhanced water availability for both agriculture and domestic use and provided lasting benefits to local communities.
The Sarus Conservation Project was launched by UPL in 2015. It aims to protect the iconic Sarus Crane population in Gujarat’s Kheda and Anand districts. Through active community engagement, the project has achieved notable success, resulting in increased nesting rates and the identification of new breeding sites. Partnering closely with local communities, 'Rural Sarus Protection Groups' were established to combat egg theft, nest destruction and poaching, driving highly effective conservation measures. By the FY26 census, a total of 1,477 Sarus cranes were recorded, marking a remarkable 195% increase from the initial baseline count of 500 birds in FY16.
Additionally, UPL continues to advance its Vulture Conservation Project in the Khambhat taluka of Anand district to protect the critically endangered vulture species. With seven of India’s nine vulture species residing in Gujarat, this initiative documents local populations, breeding habits and ongoing environmental threats. Working hand-in-hand with regional communities, UPL focuses on raising awareness, forming dedicated protection groups and enhancing local capacity to safeguard critical vulture habitats.
UPL Ltd initiated “UPL Sarus Conservation” programme with an objective of the project is to preserve Sarus through a participatory approach involving farmers and other stakeholders.

Launched in 2016, UPL’s social forestry initiative focuses on rehabilitating degraded forests and common lands through active community engagement. Supported by the strong participation of Gram Panchayats, schools and the forest department, the initiative ensures excellent survival and growth rates, developing a thriving forest ecosystem. Under Social Forestry the community is encouraged to plant trees in village common land, government wasteland and Panchayat land. In Gujarat’s rich intertidal areas, home to diverse mangroves and marine life, UPL has undertaken extensive mangrove plantation efforts in Bharuch district’s Vagra Taluka to safeguard this delicate ecosystem. The initiative serves to create a natural green barrier, educate local students and unlock sustainable livelihood opportunities for tribal communities.
We are designing targeted strategies and taking proactive steps to foster the holistic development of neighbouring communities. Our framework is anchored in inclusive planning, open dialogue and active community engagement, ensuring that every initiative translates into sustainable outcomes and a measurably improved quality of life for those we serve.
We drive essential behavioural changes in hygiene and sanitation, which have resulted in the construction of 58 toilet blocks across six Indian states. By empowering school children as champions of change, the project raises household hygiene awareness, nurtures enduring sanitation practices and improves access to quality sanitation facilities. This concerted effort continues to play a pivotal role in cultivating healthier communities, enhancing well-being and embedding sustainable hygiene habits for future generations.
For over a decade, we have championed community safety and preparedness through tailored training initiatives. These efforts continue to include self-defence workshops for adolescent girls to build confidence and personal security, home safety training for women to increase domestic risk awareness, road safety campaigns to promote responsible commuting and industrial safety programmes to enhance workplace protection and compliance. Together, these strategic initiatives actively empower and safeguard vulnerable groups within the communities we serve.
Through our Gram Pragati initiative, we continue to drive a suite of holistic infrastructure development projects across rural areas. Moving through FY26, these efforts focus on revamping schools to ensure better learning environments, installing clean drinking water facilities in educational institutions, developing playgrounds to promote physical well-being, renovating village ponds and river embankments for enhanced water management and constructing affordable housing and crematoriums for tribal families.
Under the Narmada Development Project, we collaborate with marginal tribal farmers focusing on sustainable agriculture to uplift their livelihoods. This initiative continues to create robust value chains, transform traditional farming practices and ensure reliable, long-term incomes for these communities, thereby fostering deep economic resilience and rural prosperity.
As of FY 2026, we reached over 5,000 small and marginal farmers for sustainable agriculture to upgrade their livelihoods.
The FALI (Future Agriculture Leaders of India) programme continues to inspire high school students from both rural and urban areas to view agriculture as a modern, forward thinking career pathway. The initiative expands its impact by providing technical training, professional mentorship and networking opportunities. This comprehensive approach equips the next generation with the essential skills, leadership qualities and technological knowledge required to drive innovation, efficiency and sustainability across India’s agricultural sector.
This project focuses on supporting widows of farmers and their children of Vidarbha through skill development, education and livelihood opportunities. It includes initiatives such as AI-based learning, establishment of common facility centres and market linkages for women-led enterprises. The programme aims to foster economic independence and social resilience in a vulnerable community.
