Sustainability

At Nalco, “Let all be happy” is the guiding spirit, which is embedded in the company's CSR logo. While trying to suffuse happiness, the company remembers the words of Mahatma Gandhi: "Whenever you are in doubt ... recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen and ask yourself if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him? Will he gain anything by it? Will it restore him to control over his own life and destiny? That test alone can make our plans and programmes meaningful."

Along with its business, Nalco lays special emphasis on its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities.
