From the Chairman







            I am pleased to present the first ever Sustainability Report of Interloop Limited.

            Sustainability is a key pillar of our Mission when we say; “To be an agent of positive change for
            the Stakeholders and Community by pursuing an Ethical and Sustainable Business”. Our reason
            for existence is to be an Agent of Positive Change. To pursue this, we follow a Triple Bottom Line
            Sustainability Philosophy, i.e. broadening our business focus on the financial bottom line and
            incorporating social and environmental considerations.

            The Three Ps of Triple Bottom Line at Interloop stand for ‘People, Planet and Prosperity’. First and
            foremost; we believe and practice that our profits shouldn’t come at the expense of the people and
            the planet, rather, support them. Acting responsibly is part of our DNA, and since inception, we
            have been endeavouring to be an agent of positive change.

            Our Sustainability Targets for 2020, discussed in this report, emphasize the long term strategic
            priorities for Interloop Limited and we will continue reporting the progress towards their attainment.
            While we will be impacting several of the UNDP’s Sustainable Development Goals, we have
            specified 9 SDGs on which the impact of our efforts will be measured and reported, based on our
            targets.

            By managing the environmental impact of our business activities, we are able to preserve and
            improve our communities and will continue to challenge ourselves to improve our energy efficiency
            and resource management. We are, and will continue to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions
            through improved utilization of our facilities and energy conservation initiatives.

            We have set Targets for ‘People’ side of our Sustainability, to positively transform the lives of our
            employees and the communities we operate in. We are extremely passionate about education and
            women empowerment and you will find evidence of our passion in this report.

            Of course, as a sustainable business, we are conscious of our traditional growth, profits and
            increasing shareholder value. At the same time, we understand that by strengthening the economy
            of which we are part of, we will continue to succeed in future, since we contribute to the overall
            prosperity of our stakeholders, support networks and the community.

            This report is a humble effort to document the fact that we at Interloop, Walk our Talk.
