packaging in India and has its presence by way of sale of<br />

its products in more than 94 countries, it also aims <strong>to</strong> be<br />

<strong>to</strong> undertake many expansion and growth programmes<br />

both within and outside India.<br />

Corporate Social Responsibilities<br />

In line with its philosophy of social responsibilities,<br />

UFLEX has taken signifi cant initiatives <strong>to</strong> reduce the<br />

consumption of energy and use “greener” forms of<br />

energy at its fac<strong>to</strong>ries. Anti-pollution measures help<br />

minimize the impact of industrial process on the<br />

environment.<br />

Future Outlook<br />

While no country <strong>is</strong> insulated from the impact of the<br />

global meltdown, India’s economy provides relatively<br />

greater stability. The business environment however,<br />

continues <strong>to</strong> be challenging and we believe that we<br />

are beginning <strong>to</strong> witness the start of a transformational<br />

phase for UFLEX’s various business as we strengthen our<br />

competitive edge through innovation and productivity<br />

improvements.<br />

<strong>Our</strong> plastic fi lm business as well as fl exible packaging<br />

business off er good opportunities both in the domestic<br />

market as well as international market.<br />

It <strong>is</strong> my belief that by embedding larger sustainability<br />

goals in its business strategies, your Company has<br />

consciously invested in the future. A prom<strong>is</strong>ing future,<br />

by creating competitive and sustainable businesses<br />

of <strong>to</strong>morrow that will continue <strong>to</strong> <strong>enhance</strong> long-term<br />

Stakeholder <strong>Value</strong>.<br />

I would like <strong>to</strong> off er my sincere thanks <strong>to</strong> our employees<br />

for their outstanding commitment and hard work for<br />

the sustained growth of the Company. I also place my<br />

sincere gratitude for the support of my colleagues,<br />

our cus<strong>to</strong>mers, business associates, shareholders,<br />

GDR & FCCB holders, Members of the Board, Central<br />

Government, State Governments, Financial Institutions<br />

and Banks.<br />

‘Pers<strong>is</strong>tence, belief, action and teamwork will be our <strong>to</strong>ols<br />

<strong>to</strong> achieve our goals. I know we have all, but all that <strong>is</strong><br />

needed <strong>is</strong> their further implementation in the face of<br />

economic challenges and the vic<strong>to</strong>ry, am sure, will be<br />

ours.’<br />

With best regards,<br />
