Titan Vanam Heralds a Greener Tomorrow

On World Earth Day, Titan Company Limited launched Titan Vanam, a 45-acre afforestation project in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, planting over 208,000 saplings to restore degraded tropical thorn forest and promote sustainability.

It’s a matter of great pride for all of us that Titan Company crossed a revenue of ₹ 50,000 crore during Financial Year 2024-25, within 40 years of its commencing operations. My heartfelt thanks to all of customers, employees, retail and supply chain partners and everyone else who works for Titan in some way or the other. My thanks also to all our shareholders for giving us continuous encouragement.

Now, let me move to the theme of this year’s annual report.

The term ESG was first introduced in a UN report in 2004, exactly 100 years after Jamsetji’s passing in 1904. It boggles the mind to think that such visionary thinking about stakeholders could exist in the thick of the second industrial revolution, way back in the late 19th century!

But that is the hoary Tata tradition in which Titan Company was schooled in the mid-eighties.

That’s the inspiration that made the founders of Titan go to villages in Tamil Nadu and recruit young women and men and train them in making watches, rather than hire experienced watch-makers from the industry.

Or enable women’s self-help groups set up downstream watch assembly units, create employment, deliver steady incomes and accelerate social development.

Or build an organisational culture that was anchored in a total belief in employees, their innovation potential and their commitment to results.

Or build a climate of the highest ethical standards over decades, culminating in the naming of Titan’s corporate office campus as “Integrity.”

These foundational principles have created and strengthened the stakeholder focus among the Company’s leaders and managers, resulting in multiple programmes over the last 4 decades.

Through formal and informal processes, we make sure we listen to our franchise and distribution partners and all the store staff who work for the Company and keep delivering improvements all
the time.

Through programmes like 4P (People, Place, Process, Planet) jewellery vendor situations have been transformed over the last 2 decades, providing an inspiring North Star for the industry. The TSEP (Titan Supplier Engagement Protocol) seeks to achieve a similar thing for vendors who cut and polish
the diamonds we use.

While Titan always had given the subject importance, the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) thrust has been strengthened in the last few years, providing an equitable environment for under-represented groups.

Titan’s corporate governance standards have always been very high and this was recognised in 2021 when we received the first ever Best Board Award by ET/Amrop.

Our CSR efforts have been around from Day 1 and today they cover a wide array of activities including girl child education, skilling, support of the art and crafts, providing eyecare support to the elderly, rejuvenation of lakes, building of check dams, providing integrated village development work in hilly areas, and so on.

Today all these and more have come under the strategic Pragati programme which seeks to help Titan play out its responsibilities to the Planet as well as the People, by broadening the scope of activities, strengthening the governance processes, and investing more than what regulation requires.

Through the Pragati programme, the Company will strengthen its thrust towards

Net zero carbon
Reducing fresh water consumption
Afforestation
Partner responsibility
DEI
Community responsibility
Ethics and governance

Becoming, over the next few years, an even stronger flag-bearer of the Tata legacy. And live up to the dream of Jamsetji Tata. This annual report brings alive many of these in a vivid manner.
