Strategic engagement and communication help us understand our investors and wider stakeholders (customers, suppliers, employees and society) and the issues that are relevant to them. Our approach to materiality issues are based on feedback from stakeholders. We periodically assess the reputational perception of the organisation and ensure timely communication is cascaded to all relevant stakeholders. This further strengthens our engagement and creates harmony with all our diverse stakeholders.

Vedanta's footprint spans over eight countries in four different continents. Diverse regions have different operational and geographic challenges including demography, business environment, economic development, culture and stakeholder expectations. The goal is to ensure that the organisation communicates in one voice across geographies on critical issues across the stakeholder spectrum. Together, we are one organisation with one vision - 'One Vedanta' - We are a company with a purpose.

This pillar further reflects our commitment to becoming a more transparent, purpose-driven and responsible corporate citizen.

We continually measure the outcomes and perceptions of our communication plan through a robust mechanism to gauge its effectiveness among the stakeholders, and make improvements wherever necessary.
