At Yara, we believe business growth and community progress go together. Our success isn’t just about productivity—it’s about the well-being of the people around us. Guided by this belief, Yara India drives its social responsibility efforts through Kiran – A Yara India Community Initiative, the cornerstone of our CSR work.
Our CSR initiatives are carried out in line with Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, guided by a dedicated CSR Committee and an approved CSR Policy.
Yara India’s CSR plan is driven through a dedicated Trust registered under the Indian Trusts Act, 1882 and overseen by six trustees who meet twice a year to review progress. Operating as ‘Kiran – A Yara India Community Initiative’, this CSR arm connects Yara India with the Trust to ensure all efforts stay aligned with our goals.
