CORPORATE SOCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY POLICY

OUR CSR VISION
At Indegene, we believe that our corporate mission "to create and deliver solutions for health care and life sciences today and tomorrow by integrating our expertise in technology, medical science, and communications" not only drives our business activities but also represents the essence of how we can contribute to the social development and betterment of our community, country and the world.
Consequently, we view our business goals to deliver value to our clients, employees and shareholders as being co-existent and aligned to our corporate social responsibility (CSR) to meaningfully contribute to the development and sustainability of the societies that Indegene is a part of and to undertake socially useful programs. It is imperative on us as a responsible corporate citizen to "do good while doing well".
Our CSR policy and initiatives revolve around harnessing our medical and technology expertise and combining it with the collective desire of our team to make an impactful contribution to improving the health of our society.
We believe that equitable access to healthcare is a fundamental human right and is a core constituent of social and economic development. We also believe that health awareness and education are important engines for the improvement of health outcomes in our society.
We therefore partner with a wide spectrum of stakeholders to enable universal access to healthcare, to develop and deliver solutions that serve to increase health, wellness and disease awareness among the public at large and to enhance the level of education among health professionals.
