Letter from Head, Suzlon Foundation

The new Companies Bill (by the time this report is published, it will

probably have become Law) has brought Corporate Social

Responsibility (CSR) sharply in focus. There has been a debate

whether it should be made mandatory or not. It was argued that

spirit of volunteerism will be lost if CSR is made mandatory, and CSR

will be done just to make up the numbers. To overcome this concern,

government has come out with guidelines not only for implementing

CSR and what constitutes CSR but also with a reporting framework

for the same. I believe this is a very good step and will definitely prove

beneficial to corporate sustainability. It has always been our stand

that CSR helps the business to be sustainable.

I am glad to share here that we have been implementing our CSR for

last five years the same way as mentioned in the Govt guidelines; and

have been sharing the philosophy in several forums. The many

awards we have received are not just for achievements under our

projects, but more so for our strong philosophy of linking business

with CSR. The new Companies Bill will certainly help us to integrate

CSR perspective in business functions, which is our ultimate goal.

We have been preparing our sustainability reports based on

GRI’s G3 Guidelines and NGO supplement. The new GRI G4

guidelines are scheduled to come up in May 2013. So, probably

this will be the last year of reporting on G3. We will hopefully be

able to report on G4 next time.

Warm regards,

Suzlon Foundation's CSR Mission

CSR AND SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2012 - 13 02

Suzlon wind farm in Dhule, India

Suzlon Foundation, a non-profit company established under

Section 25 of the Companies Act, 1956 has been publishing its own

sustainability report along with the CSR report for Suzlon Group of

Companies. Since Suzlon Foundation is funded by Suzlon Group,

its CSR report is in fact Suzlon Group’s CSR report. However, the

sustainability report only pertains to Suzlon Foundation’s own

activities as Section 25 Company and not to any business activities

of the parent company Suzlon Energy Ltd. and its other

subsidiaries.

This is a self-declared ‘C’ level sustainability report using GRI G3

guidelines. We have also taken reference of NGO supplement as it

is applicable to us as a non-profit company rather than the other

indicators which are material to manufacturing business.

Suzlon Foundation’s structure and nature of activities have

remained the same over last year and there are not changes to

report or restatements to be made as regards to its operations.

The scale of activities however, has considerably gone down in the

year 2012-13 due to financial constraints.

For any queries regarding this report, Suzlon Foundation can be

8. Proactive Programs -

Crossing the boundaries

of business


What our international interns/employees say about their India experience

Due to scale down of activities during 12-13 due to various

reasons, we gave more emphasis to direct implementation

projects rather than partner implemented ones. Hence our usual

360 degree review was not conducted in the year under report.

Second activity also automatically got discontinued temporarily

was the partner feedback survey as the projects too were

discontinued or kept to the bare minimum support.

We did, however, conduct the employee feedback survey and

received good response. It has been observed that there is an

overall better feedback almost to all questions posed in the survey

showing improved relationship of the employees with CSR.

The most positively scored questions were ‘Suzlon Foundation’s

policy and programme framework is relevant’ and ‘programme

successfully incorporates sustainable development’. Similarly the

bottom three ranked questions (‘Suzlon Foundation is effective in

achieving their set objectives’, ‘Suzlon Foundation has achieved

positive change’ and ‘Suzlon Foundation is effective in

communicating with employees’) have remained as the least

positively ranked questions of 2013.

Suzlon Foundation. After receiving considerable recognition in

form of various awards, we have not been able to keep the pace of

CSR in 2012-13. We do not envisage a different scenario in 2013-

14. The business situation is still challenging and it is less likely that

considerable fund flow will come to CSR.

Our focus thus, will remain on implementing small low budget

direct implementation activities in different states. In fact, we have

observed that small frequent activities work well with employees.

Since employee volunteering will be major part in the coming year,

there will be more such events.

Another focus area will be working with business teams such as

Operations and Maintenance Services, Projects and Land

consolidating our integration efforts.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Auditor’s Responsibility

Opinion

To

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of SUZLON FOUNDATION, which comprise of the Balance Sheet as at March 31,

2013 and the Statement Income and Expenditure for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other

explanatory information.

Management is responsible for the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial

performance of the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards

referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956 (“the Act”). This responsibility includes the design, implementation

and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and

are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the

Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical

requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material

misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The

procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial

statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s

preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An

audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by

management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained

is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the financial statements give the information

required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in

India:

(a) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2013; and

(b) in the case of the Statement Income and Expenditure, of the excess of Expenditure over Income for the year ended on that date.

Notes to the Financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2013

All amounts in rupees, unless otherwise stated

1. Company Information

2. Basis of Preparation

Suzlon Foundation (‘Suzlon Foundation’ or ‘the Company') was incorporated under section 25 of the companies act 1956 on 27th

December, 2007.

The Company is established with the object of carrying out welfare and charitable activities in relating to rehabilitation, health and

medical, hygiene, nutrition, education, civic amenities, infrastructure, livelihood skills, climate changes and global warming resolution

initiatives.

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, on accrual basis of accounting to comply in all material

respects, with the mandatory accounting standards as notified by the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (‘The Rules’) and

in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in India (‘Indian GAAP’) as applicable, and the relevant provisions of the

Companies Act, 1956 (‘the Act’). The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Company; and the accounting policies

not referred to otherwise, are in conformity with the Indian GAAP.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of financial statements are consistent with those of previous year.

2.1 Summary of significant accounting policies

a. Use of Estimates

The presentation of financial statement in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles requires estimates

and assumptions to be made that may affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures relating to

contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during

the reporting period. Actual results could differ with those estimates.

b. Revenue Recognition

Donations are recognised as income as and when it is received by the company. The interest income is recognised in books

on accrual basis of accounting.

c. Tangible Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes all expenditure necessary to bring the asset to

its working condition for its intended use.

d. Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on the written down value method (WDV), unless otherwise stated, pro-rata to the period of use

of assets and is based on management’s estimate of useful lives of the fixed assets or intangible assets or rates specified in

schedule XIV to the Act, whichever is higher :


Type of Assets Rate (WDV)

e. Foreign currency transactions

f. Employee benefits

g. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

h. Income Tax

Computers 40%

Transactions in foreign currencies are normally recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date on which the

transaction occurred.

Exchange differences arising as a result of the above are recognised as income or expense in the Statement of Income and

Expenditure, including the amount of liabilities incurred for acquiring imported fixed assets, where the differences are also

charged to Statement of Income and Expenditure in compliance with the Accounting Standard as issued by Institute of

Chartered Accountants of India.

Retirement benefits to employees comprise of Provident fund, gratuity and leave encashment under the schemes of the

company.

Defined contributions to provident fund are charged to Statement of Income and Expenditure of the year when the

contributions to the respective funds are due. There are no other obligations other than contribution payable to the

respective statutory authorities.

The Company has taken a Group Gratuity cum Life Assurance Policy from Life Insurance Corporation of India. The yearly

contribution as determined by the LIC on actuarial basis under this policy / scheme has been paid during the Financial Year

and debited the same to Statement of Income and Expenditure.

Leave encashment is accounted on actual payment basis.

A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an

outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made.

Provisions are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on best estimate required to settle the

obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best

estimates.

Provision for income tax and deferred tax has not been made in accounts, as the company has been recognised and

registered under section 2(15) and section 12-AA of the Income Tax Act,1961.

This will be Suzlon Foundation’s last report based on G3 Guidelines as

the next set of guidelines has been published. As per the next

guidelines the 3 levels of reporting have been discontinued. There is

a set of criteria with which an organization has to comply before

declaring that they are reporting on GRI guidelines. GRI gives two

years for transition and expects organizations to report on new

guidelines by 2015.

Suzlon Foundation is a non-profit Section 25 Company established by

Suzlon Group to take care of their CSR activities. This report relates

only to the activities of Suzlon Foundation and not the entire Group

as such. Therefore, the regular manufacturing or service related

indicators do not apply to Suzlon Foundation.

Our sustainability report is based on GRI G3 guidelines. Being a non-

profit company, we have also taken reference of NGO supplement

while preparing this report. With moderate scales of our own

operations, we believe that our materiality is limited to:

a. Stakeholder interest – we also include our business units as our

major stakeholders along with communities

b. Locations where we have projects

c. Our outreach and program and resource efficiency

d. The acceptance of concept of sustainable development and

CSR in India

As mentioned earlier, Suzlon Foundation (SF) has been founded by

Suzlon Energy Ltd. and doesn’t have any subsidiaries per se. With

scaling down of our programs for various reasons, we have

discontinued with many partnership programs, but we still consider

our NGO partners as our suppliers, though the support is very small.

Thus our influence on them is not significant in their overall

operations as meant by “GRI Boundary Protocol”.

After definition of each indicator, page numbers are given on which

more information related to that indicator can be found.

- Financial implications and other risks and opportunities for the

SF’s motto is ‘sustainable development for sustainable economy’.

There are many programs that contribute towards sustainability.

Climate Change in fact provides many opportunities to SF. work itself

is promoting sustainability. Hence, the climate change in fact gives it

many opportunities. It conducts many awareness programs at

community, schools and employee levels. Since the funding is

derived from business to support the activities, the business

environment and the global economy situation do affect the scale of

programs and can be considered a risk.

- Initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and

reductions achieved

SF has its own sustainability framework as explained in the CSR

report. Page No. 8

– Since SF is neither a manufacturer, nor a conventional service

provider, its environmental impacts are limited to material used for

programs and commuting of its workforce.

It must be admitted here that though the emissions related to

travelling are very less compared to previous years, they are due to

scale down of operations and restrictions on travel rather than

conscious efforts of limiting the emissions. Calculations are based on

the ‘Greenhouse Gas Protocol’ transport tool, as advised by the GRI

guidelines.

In this we have included all those who are full time on CSR. Some of

There have been total 34 team members during 2012-13 whether on

employment or on contract, including unpaid interns. Out of this 19

- Percentage of significant suppliers and contractors that have

undergone screening on human rights and actions taken

Our suppliers are our NGO partners. The NGOs are proponents of

human rights, hence there is little possibility of violation. In addition,

our partner selection process itself is very stringent and we select

only credible organizations as our partners. So far, we have not come

across any violations of human rights.

- Nature, scope, and effectiveness of any programs and practices

that assess and manage the impacts of operations on communities,

including entering, operating, and exiting

SF’s programs are for enhancement of five capitals to achieve

sustainability as explained in CSR report. The main pillars of our CSR

are to offset negative impacts of business and to address the needs of

the communities. All our efforts are directed towards this goal. The

monthly and annual reporting system ensures that data is collected

and analysed in proper manner.

- Practices related to customer satisfaction, including results of

surveys measuring customer satisfaction

Though we have not conducted our customary 360 degree reviews

this year, we have kept constantly in touch with our stakeholders and

conducted interactions with them. We have conducted an Employee

Feedback Survey. The results are given on Page No. 44 through 45.

– Processes for involvement of affected stakeholder groups in

the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies

and programs

Page Nos. 12-13

All our programs are a collaborative effort. It’s a collaboration of

communities, govt, Suzlon Business Units, partners and SF. Our role

is more of facilitation. The community is involved right from the

needs assessment stage. Our stakeholder engagement process

ensures that all are involved at different stages of implementation of

CSR programs.

programs and policies and for determining actions to take in

response to breaches in policies

absence of major partner projects, we have not conducted these

during 2012-13.

– Measures to integrate gender and diversity into the program

design and implementation, and the monitoring, evaluation, and
