Values

Passion for winning

The passion to win and never be setback by defeat is organically integrated in all our employees. They are inspired by example to stretch their limits by adopting a positive attitude, being self-motivated, while relentlessly pursuing and capturing opportunities.

Our ethical system percolates down to every level of management, equipping our managers to take on even the most challenging situations with utmost positivity. Treating complaints with gravity, identifying internal and external customer needs, proactively fulfilling them and working towards zero grievances is our common goal.

Together, we endeavor to deliver the right quality at the right time and price.

Innovation through learning and intrapreneurship

We provide a stimulating environment to our employees to build new capacities, take risks, learn from the same, innovate and function as little pockets of entrepreneurship within our unique corporate ecosystem. Our ability to foster change motivates employees to take initiatives, generate radical ideas, and operate with a solutions oriented approach in order to turn ideas into profitable ventures.

Our respect for all ideas, accessibility across levels, prompt feedback exchange, support for cross-functional participation and ready knowledge share helps put employees on to the path of personal development. Benchmarking against the best domestic and global practices we know how to recognize, nurture and celebrate success.

Winning trust internally and externally.

We endeavor to win and sustain trust externally by using a part of our profits to create societal capital. By remaining steadfast to our business principles, sharing knowledge and building interdependence with trade partners, we endeavor to fabricate enduring relationships.

We respect the fact that every individual brings a unique set of perspectives and talents which can be harnessed to provide solutions. We allow our employees to chart out their own course by empowering them with the skills to follow their own destiny as well as leaving room for mistakes and failures, thereby being candid and sustaining trust internally. We further ensure transparent, consistent and well-communicated personnel policies. We respect and empathize with our employees and encourage getting to know them on a personal level by socializing with their families as well.

We honor our commitments not only to our trade partners and external alliance partners, but also our employees.

Global mindset

We constantly seek new ways to align ourselves and our employees with global quality standards and best practices. Part of our various initiatives to improve business processes and operating techniques to compete with global standards include Six Sigma initiatives in sales, marketing, operations, etc. as well as employee programs such as Kaizen, 5S, Haichi Ban, etc. We not only showcase Godfrey Phillips India's potential at international and domestic forums, but also constantly strive to improve our understanding of global markets to expand in the international arena. While our efforts are attuned to local preferences, we continually monitor international consumer and industry trends to develop into a global corporate.

Socially responsible corporate citizen

As responsible citizens, we understand that resources are scarce and as a socially conscious corporate, we acknowledge our commitment to our people and stakeholders.

For this, we ensure compliance with all applicable laws, practice a code of conduct matched to the best international practices, ensure the highest standards of corporate governance as well as encourage employees to participate in social welfare activities. We also encourage and actively participate in recognized projects addressing societal and environmental concerns such as the Godfrey Phillips Bravery Awards and Amodini- the Women’s Empowerment Program.
