Corporate Social Responsibility

 

We have a strong established policy of ensuring fair prices to the farmers and supporting them in their endeavor of increasing the yields from the mint crop, thereby increasing their revenues.  We propagate better farming and steam distillation techniques to maximize yields from mint herbs, through our collection centers established in the mint growing areas.  We also work closely with research institutions including CIMAP, for continuous development of new variants, which are pest resistant and yield higher outputs for the farmers. 


In line with our philosophy, “prosper together”, we carry out various activities in supporting farmers, contributing towards providing better education and medical facilities.  In our endeavor to institutionalize this process, we have established a new trust, Sharp Foundation.
