Corporate Social Responsibility Policy

1. Introduction

The Corporate Social Responsibility Policy (“the Policy”) has been formulated in accordance
with the provisions of Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013 (hereinafter referred to as
“Act”) and rules framed thereunder, as amended from time to time.

Hero MotoCorp Ltd. (“the Company” or “HMCL”) believes that since a business derives
various benefits from the society, it must, in return, create value for all stakeholders and
create a positive impact for a sustainable future.

This Policy will be effective April 1, 2021 and will provide the guiding principles for selection,
implementation and monitoring of Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) activities of the
Company along with the framework to carry out/undertake the identified activities.

2. Policy Objective & Philosophy

It is pertinent to note that business enterprises are economic organs of society and draw on
societal resources. We, at HMCL, reckon that a company's performance must be measured
by its triple (+one) bottom line contribution to building economic, social and environmental
capital thereby enhancing societal sustainability along with governance. HMCL believes that
in the strategic context of business, enterprises possess, beyond mere financial resources,
the transformational capacity to create game‐changing development models by unleashing
their power of entrepreneurial vitality, innovation and creativity. In line with this belief, the
Company will continue to craft unique models to generate livelihoods and create a better
society. Such CSR projects are far more replicable, scalable and sustainable, with a significant
multiplier impact on sustainable livelihood creation and working for the cause of humanity.

3. Definitions

based on reasonable justification.

"Sustainability & Corporate Social Responsibility (SCSR) Committee” or “Committee”


means the SCSR Committee as constituted by the Board of Directors of the Company, from
time to time.

Any other term not defined herein shall have the same meaning as defined in the Companies
Act, 2013 or rules framed thereunder.

4. Guiding Principles

SELECTION OF CSR ACTIVITIES

The Company shall spend its CSR expenditure in accordance with Section 135 of the
Companies Act, 2013 and rules made thereunder. The broad guiding principles for selection
of CSR activities are:

 Support may preferably be extended to those activities wherein the Company has prior
experience to make them most effective. However, this shall not be a restriction for the
Company to undertake any other activity as may be deemed suitable by the Committee.
 A needs assessment, if required, may be carried out to identify the areas of intervention
along with the availability of the resources.
 The programmes identified/adopted should be adaptive and flexible to meet the
changing dynamics.
 Focus should be on long-term sustained impact of the programmes rather than one-time
impact or requiring continuous intervention.
 All quantifiable socially conscious efforts should be measured and appropriately
communicated.

Basis the above mentioned guiding principles, the Committee will identify the areas for the
CSR Programmes of the Company from any of the activities getting covered in Schedule VII
to the Act or any other area as may be permitted from time to time.

IMPLEMENTATION OF CSR ACTIVITIES

The implementation of the identified CSR activities shall be carried out either directly by the
Company and/or through an implementing agency. The implementing agency shall fulfill the
criteria as specified under the Act or rules made thereunder. The Company shall clearly define the
objectives along with the desired timelines to effectively implement the activities within the given
time frame and work towards active engagement of all employees to achieve maximum benefits.
The modalities of execution shall be defined with every identified project. There should also be a
check on the available resources, milestones, measurements and accountability so as to effectively
implement the activities.

MONITORING OF CSR ACTIVITIES


There shall be a robust monitoring system to ensure that the identified CSR activities are carried
out to reap optimal benefits for the beneficiaries. There shall be a periodic review by the
Committee for the projects undertaken. The Committee may suggest modifications in the planned
activities considering the existing scenario/circumstances.

ANNUAL ACTION PLAN

The Committee shall formulate and recommend an annual action plan to the Board for its
approval. This annual action plan shall include the following details:
 the list of CSR projects or programmes that are proposed to be undertaken in areas or
subjects specified in Schedule VII of the Act;
 the manner of execution of such projects or programmes as specified in the rules;
 the modalities of utilisation of funds and implementation schedules for the projects or
programmes;
 monitoring and reporting mechanism for the projects or programmes; and
 details of need and impact assessment, if any, for the projects undertaken by the
Company.

Every year, the Committee will place for the Board's approval, an annual action plan
delineating the CSR Programmes to be carried out during the financial year and the
succeeding years in the case of Ongoing Projects along with the specified budgets thereof.

In case of an ongoing project, the Board, on the recommendation of the Committee, shall
approve the implementation of the project with timelines and year-wise allocation and shall
be competent to make modifications, if any, for smooth implementation of the project within
the overall permissible time period. It shall also monitor the implementation of ongoing
projects.

5. Reporting & Disclosures

The Company shall from time to time report and provide adequate disclosures as may be
required pertaining to CSR activities and programs carried by it.

and when required or at least once in three years and updated accordingly.

7. Limitation and amendments

framed thereunder or any other statutory enactments, the provisions of such Act or rules or
statutory enactments shall prevail over this Policy.
