From the CEO’s Desk: Global Compact Compliance Statement

Dear Friends,

It is a pleasure to once again update our organization’s Communication on Progress (COP) and
compliance to the ten principles of United Nations Global Compact.

I also take this opportunity to re-iterate our firm commitment to the ten universally accepted principles of
UNGC and our organization will always strive to comply with them, while conducting our day-to-day
business.

At Paharpur Business Centre and Software Technology Incubator Park (PBC™ - STIP), we constantly
strive to achieve higher standards of performance in all that we do. Our employees are driven by a
common purpose, values, goals and aspirations.

We firmly believe that Sustainable development is all about improving the quality of life for all of us,
including our stakeholders; and in doing so we ensure complete commitment to the triple bottom line
strategy i.e. People, Planet, and Profit.

We believe in “Doing the right thing and doing the things right” and it is this thought process that
drives our business performance and our contribution to the society we live in.

A special focus in the last one year has been on the health and safety aspects of our building occupants –
Clients, Employees, Visitors etc and we have taken a lot of initiatives, that are evident in the course of this
report, that benefit the occupant health and productivity.

We believe that sharing our progress, our way of doing our business, any impacts that our business would
have on the environment, society, community etc, leads to corporate governance and transparency. We
strive to encapsulate this in our report – How we are meeting the challenges thrown by Climate Change?

******************** X ********************


We have taken a leadership role in our sphere of business, by working with public and private partners in
order to create green and clean solutions that reap great benefits to the cause of environment and business
alike.

By adopting clean and green technologies and methodologies, we are able to demonstrate our deep
commitment to the cause of environment protection and the way we conduct our business, by mitigating
any adverse impacts that our business would have on the environment.

We have launched GreenSpaces Challenge to enable Greentech and Cleantech ideas applied to buildings
to become a reality. We are inviting creative and innovative ideas from across the world in order to
enhance energy efficiency and reduce cost of our referral flagship project, GreenSpaces, to be built as the
World’s Most Energy Efficient Building. For detailed information you may visit
www.greenspaces.in/challenge

We are deeply committed to the ten principles of United Nations Global Compact and practice them in our
business on a day-to-day basis.

We once again look forward to sharing our business achievements with you by way of this report and I
hope you find the report useful and informative.

Your views and feedback are important to us and we look forward to it, as we believe that we can create
value by learning from all our stakeholders.

With best regards and good wishes for a great year ahead.

Paharpur Business Centre & Software Technology Incubator Park is a participant to the United Nations
Global Compact, a voluntary corporate citizenship initiative, and supports and advances its ten
principles within its sphere of influence. The principles of UN Global Compact address Human Rights,
Labour Rights, and Environment & Anti-Corruption.

At PBC™-STIP we strive to address all the ten United Nations Global Compact principles and it is our
constant endeavour to internalize them into our day-to-day business. We are very firmly and deeply
committed to the spirit of United Nation’s Global Compact.

During the year 2009-10, PBC™-STIP’s commitment to UNGC’s ten principles were addressed
through:
HUMAN RIGHTS

1. Support and respect the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights –

We believe that business has an important role to play in promoting and respecting the advancement of
fundamental human rights, while not supplanting the primary obligations of governments to protect the
human rights of all people within their borders and as members of the international community.
Supporting human rights is not only the right thing to do, but also makes business sense—companies that
violate internationally recognized human rights are not sustainable. We also recognize the value of
promoting human rights in the broader global community: societies where human rights are respected are
both more stable and provide a better environment for business.
******************** X ********************


A positive working environment is essential to allow our employees to achieve their potential. It helps
attract new employees to PBC and motivates them to stay. Components of our working environment
include numerous opportunities for employee development and professional growth, competitive
compensation and benefits, our focus on health and safety, and our approach to diversity and inclusion.

Our Human Rights Statement, through the SA 8000:2008 policy, articulates our values and informs how
we conduct our business. Guided by our values, we support universal human rights for our employees and
in the communities where we operate.

PBC™-STIP believes companies can play a positive role in contributing to safeguard human rights, their
protection and promotion. Our principles prohibit child labor, forced labor and discriminatory behavior as
well as recognize the right to freedom of association and collective bargaining. We prefer business
partners, who treat their employees similarly.

In 2009-10, we continued to inform and educate our employees about our commitment to human rights.
The trainings help our employees understand principles of human rights and how human rights can be
supported through PBC™-STIP’s role in society. Trainings on Environmental hazards, Fire Safety
measures, HIV-AIDS awareness, Social Accountability awareness programme for vendors & employees,
etc was also imparted.

Benefits for the PBC Team Members:

More choice, flexibility and time

Green Travel/Sustainable Commuter management offers flexible working hours (30 minutes flexi timing
to sign in the Office) to meet a range of individual staff circumstances and requirements, offering staff
greater flexibility in their working day, while meeting organization’s performance targets.

Reduced commuting costs
The costs of commuting can be considerable, and facilitating alternatives can bring direct savings to
employees.

Reduced stress
Makes it easier, cheaper, quicker and safer for staff to commute to work can assist in reducing stress.
Walking and cycling offers other health benefits too.

Improved working environment
Developing a Green Travel/Sustainable Commuter management plan involves communication,
consultation and facilitation of flexibility and choice. Both the communication processes and the
facilitation of choice can enhance the overall working environment.

Conducting Staff Travel Survey
The purpose of the survey is to quantify current travel patterns, including modal split and typical journey
lengths and times. These benchmark figures are vital for measuring changes in staff travel patterns.
******************** X ********************


Positive changes identified through future repeat surveys are likely to be an important element in judging
the success of a Green Travel/ Sustainable Commuter management plan.
Green Travel/ Sustainable Commuter management plans have a wide range of possible measures to
choose from. These can be broadly grouped by mode of transport and work-style as follows:
• Car use
• Public transport
• Cycling and walking
• Working arrangements

Car Sharing /Car Pooling
Car sharing can have a significant impact on the number of vehicles traveling to a site and can offer a
practical alternative to staff members who feel that public transport is not a viable option. Car sharing is
flexible and staff can use the option occasionally or regularly as suits. Many people already share journeys
or give each other lifts to work. This is encouraged and promoted regularly. The Green Travel/Sustainable
Commuter manager along with HR Dept is facilitating by acting as a central contact point for potential
sharers.

Carpools consist of two or more persons driving together in a privately owned vehicle. At a workplace,
employees may choose to carpool without any assistance or involvement from the employer; however,
carpool incentive programs are a way for employers to encourage employees to carpool. PBC is a
registered member of www.delhicarpool.com
Carpool incentive programs may incorporate a variety of means to encourage employees to carpool.

HRD along with Mobility manager from Tour & Travels department motivate the employees for carpools
through rideshare matching. Rideshare matching helps potential car-poolers locate others nearby with
similar schedules. Employers can direct their employees to these free services. Employee benefits include
cost sharing, less wear and tear of vehicles, time savings in regions with HOV lanes, and the ability to
talk, eat, sleep, or read while commuting. The primary employer advantage is the need for fewer parking
spaces, other advantages include less employee stress and improved productivity.
Car Parking Management

Preferred Parking
PBC offers workplace incentive for car-poolers in terms of preferred parking. Spaces can be designated
for either individual carpools or rideshares in general. To be effective, designated spaces are located in
desirable locations i.e. near the building

Where employers charge for parking, reducing the parking cost for carpools encourages carpooling.
Although carpools will effectively receive reduced parking cost in any case because the cost will be
shared, employers may wish to reduce costs even further, or allow carpools to park with a discount of 25
% of Notional charges of Rs 1800 (US$ 40).

Eco-driving and awareness

Efficient and environment friendly commuting is promoted, various car related measures that are tried
include energy efficiency training for the drivers, which is becoming common. Schemes to provide easy
******************** X ********************


Green Travel/ Sustainable Commuter during the day, such as pool cars or bicycles for meetings, are also
helping.

Public Transport Information
Staff is encouraged to use public transport. Staff perceptions of public transport may be based on outdated
experiences, or even on hearsay. Assuming attractive public transport options exist; information can be
effective in selling them. HR Deptt along with Tour & Travels Deptt provides the information.

Cycling and Walking
The feasibility of measures promoting cycling and walking will be influenced by factors such as safety
and ease of cycling to and from the site and the age of staff member. Generally distance up to 2 km is
considered reasonable for walking, and up to 6 km for cycling. These distances are only indicative, but
can help to define target groups. Although most staff feel that it was not too far to walk or cycle, the lack
of lockers and shower facilities was seen as a barrier for these modes.

Incentives and facilities given to PBC Employees include:
Interest free loans for purchase of cycles
Provision of “pool” bicycles for short distance business travel
Well located cycle parking facilities within the premises – (Pictures enclosed)
Preferential Parking area

Working Arrangements
Flexi time is encouraged, impacting transportation, allowing staff to avoid office peak hours, and reducing
the contribution to traffic, which at times may remove the need for car travel.

Teleworking/ Imail-Email system is typically conducted from the home or site offices.
Teleconferences / Videoconferences are encouraged not only among team members but also vendors and
subcontractors.
Sports and Leisure – To cope with the pressures of work, PBC™-STIP encourages fun and leisure activities at
work. Parties are held on birthdays, festivals, etc. with the family members of the employees. Also movies, quiz
programmes are held at PBC to motivate the work force and keep them updated.
Staff Welfare Activities - Snapshots of Picnic, Diwali & New Year Party held on 17th October 2009 & 2nd January 2010
at PBC™ - STIP

BLOOD DONATION CAMP

PBC TM STIP along with CII & Red Cross Society had organized Blood Donation Camp at PBC. We invited our
team members & clients to participate in this camp & help people who are in immediate need of blood.

2. Ensure that the organization is not complicit in human rights abuses

PBC™-STIP ensures strict adherence to laws enacted by the Government of India, to protect the interests
of the workers. In our Management Standing Instruction - Code of Conduct expresses our support for the
UN Declaration of Human Rights, and we also encourage our suppliers to sign up to the UN Global
Compact. There has been no instance of the company having abused human rights in any manner. Our
organization realizes that the prompt handling of grievances of employees and customers is of paramount
importance in upholding of human rights and accordingly, we have framed procedures to address any such
grievances.

PBC™ - STIP is certified for SA 8000:2008 where in we have a separate procedure on Grievance
Handling Procedure No. SA3. The purpose of this procedure is to establish, maintain and ensure a suitable
and effective method for handling grievances of personnel deputed at PBC™ - STIP which covers all
personnel deputed at PBC™ - STIP including workers provided by the sub contractors. Procedure is as
follows:

The procedure is designed to supplement, not to replace, routine and informal methods of responding to
employee problems and complaints. This is in addition to our existing procedure on the same as
mentioned in our MSI

HOD & Manager / Head - HRD shall receive complaints & grievances of PBC™ - STIP employees and
sub contractors staff.

All the Complaints and grievances received by Manager / Head - HRD shall be entered in Grievance
Handling Register (SA/3/F1).

******************** X ********************


Manager / Head - HRD shall do the informal (direct) discussion with complainant & employees involved
along with the relevant HOD, shall examine the problem and resolve at his / her level. The complaint /
grievance that cannot be resolved by HOD & Manager / Head - HRD shall be forwarded to Committee
constituted for resolving such issues.

This committee shall investigate employee complaints / grievances. The committee shall include Manager
/ Head – HRD, Management Representative, General Managers, Workers Representative, and Chief
Warden - Health & Safety.

The Committee shall review complaints / grievances and shall take appropriate action. Wherever required,
approval shall be taken from Director / CEO before implementing the committee’s recommendation.
Action taken shall be communicated to the concerned employee by HRD and records of the same shall be
maintained by Manager / Head - HRD in Grievance Handling Register.

In case any suggestion / grievance requires immediate action; committee shall meet, address the issue &
take necessary steps to resolve it.

No adverse action shall be taken against any employee for filing grievance or use of the grievance
procedure. No records of an employee’s use of the grievance procedure shall be kept in his/her personnel
file.

There has been no instance of the company having abused human rights in any manner.

Our organization realizes that the prompt handling of grievances of employees and customers is of
paramount importance in upholding human rights and accordingly, we have framed procedures to address
such grievances.

We have appointed a “Workers Representative” (WR) to engage with our crew members and
understand their queries, requirements & grievances. These are then discussed with the Management
Committee and HR & actions are taken to resolve all shortcoming if any. The WR acts as a bridge
between the Management & Workers. He is also a key player in the scheme of things at PBC – STIP for
staff welfare. He is also an invitee to all Management Review Meetings in order to present the
workers prospective to the management. Apart from this we also encourage our employees to express
their views, raise issues, give suggestions, seek clarifications, etc through our “SUGGESTION BOX” &
“INTERNAL MAILING SYSTEM” (I-mail).

LABOUR STANDARDS

3. Upholding the freedom of association and effective recognition of the right to Collective
Bargaining

PBC™-STIP realizes and recognizes the collective strength of employees is an effective partner towards
the goal of achieving continuous sustainable growth and hence the employees enjoy the freedom of
association and collective bargaining.

******************** X ********************


4. The elimination of all forms of forced and compulsory labour

PBC™-STIP believes in voluntary labour and no instances of forced / compulsory labours have come to
light during the year. Audit from external agencies for compliance with SA 8000:2008 is also conducted at
six monthly intervals to ensure adherence to the standard and compliance to the principle.

5. The organization supports effective abolition of child labour.

As PBC™-STIP follows the Delhi Shops and Establishment Act, according to which, the age limit
prescribed for child labour is below 15. However, PBC has prescribed the minimum age limit as 18 years

Our contractors & vendors are required to scrupulously follow the laws/rules and regulations in respect of
engagement of Child Labour. This is addressed through our contract agreement & regular training
programmes and interactions with our vendors & contractors.
For the year 2010-11 one of our primary objectives is to annually train 20% of our vendors and sub-
contractors on different issues relating to Health & Safety, Environment, Good Labour Practices, HIV
AIDS and Quality Standards.

WOMEN’S DAY AT PBC

PROMOTING GENDER EQUALITY, WOMEN EMPOWERMENT & CELEBRATING BIRTH
OF A GIRL CHILD AT PBC

At PBC we recognize the power of a woman and immediately felt that the initiative to promote the girl
child and club it with tree plantation was in line with our core business values. And Woman’s Day was the
right occasion to start with the initiative.
NANNI CHHAAN:

PBC™ - STIP is Actively supporting the “NANHI CHHAAN betiyan aur jungle; jeevan karein mangal”, a
gender equality and ecological conservation program as part of CII - Northern Region's proactive
engagement programme for the corporate sector to promote girl child and environment conservation.

This Woman’s Day we celebrated the birth of a girl child at PBC and under this programme we planted
trees in the name of Girl Child born to the PBC team members, thereby creating awareness that a girl child
is a boon / blessing and to be treated at par with the male child

As, we are very much focused on the environmental front and therefore have tried to merge this social
cause with the planting of trees and creating microclimates in order to increase the forest cover and save
our planet – Earth.

Commitment to NANHI CHHAAN – Promoting the concepts of Gender Equality and Inclusion and
celebrating birth of a “Girl Child”

ENVIRONMENT

2. The organization adopts a precautionary approach to Environmental Challenges

PBC™- STIP is set up in a pollution free & green environment with Indoor Air Quality confirming to
ASHRAE Standards. Care for the Environment has been an intrinsic part of our business.

TAKING CARE OF GENERAL WELL BEING OF BUILDING OCCUPANT

Our USP is providing mountain fresh air to PBC occupants. We use bio-technology to clean the indoor air
of its pollutants by using green plants. We also monitor & check the indoor air quality specs - temperature,
humidity, RSPM, SPM, CO2 etc. Our facility has negligible amount of bacterial and fungal count as a
result of the air quality that is maintained indoors to ensure they conform to the ASHRAE Standard. All
the readings are recorded to analyze further improvements. We post our daily IAQ readings on our
website: www.pbcnet.com

HEALTH CAMP
TM
PBC-STIP had organized a two-day free health camp by partnering with Quest Diagnostics, in July 2009. This
initiative has been taken to educate team members & clients on health & well being related issues, in order to help
them manage their health .The Health Camp included One-on-One health counseling session by a qualified
nutritionist, Individual diet plans were given as per the individual requirements. This exercise helped our team
members & clients in understanding the health related factors as under

- Body Mass Index
- Blood Pressure
- Random Blood Sugar
- Counseling on Good Eating Habits & Wellness

TUBERCULOSIS TEST FOR TEAM MEMBERS & CLIENTS

PBC had organized Tuberculosis Test for its team members & clients by partnering with the Apollo
Clinic.
It is a communicable disease and spreads through air. It has become more relevant & important, specially
after Swine flu has been declared as pandemic by WHO, to undergo this test, as people suffering from TB
are more likely to get infected with the H1N1 virus, as their immune system is already very weak. We
encourage healthy working environment and therefore requested and arranged this social and health
related initiative in our organization

CREATING AWARENESS ON SWINE FLUE & OTHER COMMUNICABLE DISEASES

PBC has taken lot of measures from entering swine flu viruses in PBC. Presentation was run through all
the TFT’s to educate the clients, visitors and stakeholders about swine flue. Awareness campaign was
done and a special webinar session was organized for our team member and clients.

3. The organization initiates promotion of greater environmental responsibility

PBC™-STIP is minimizing the environmental impacts arising out of use of our products/services by
adopting state of the art technology.

Best Practices: Energy Management
In Energy management we follow certain practices that help us in reducing our electricity bills without
affecting the quality of life. We have benefited from these practices; our results show almost a 30%
reduction in our electricity bills. These practices are continuously reviewed for further improvements.

We at Paharpur Business Centre follow the following best practices in energy management

• Instead of GLS lamps, we use PL lights, which are plug in CFL lamps, they use compact
fluorescent (CFL) technology meaning they are efficient and less costly to replace.
• All fluorescent lights in our office are Philips Trulite. These are BEE 5 star rated with electronic
ballast.
• Motion sensors are used to switch off lights in unoccupied common areas.
******************** X ********************


• All our displays are energy efficient LCDs/Plasma to save on energy.
• Energy consumption is monitored and analyzed on daily basis.
• Green mesh & heat reflective film has been put on the southwest side of the building to block the
direct sun heat into the building.
• High Albedo paint has been put on the building envelope to reduce the indirect heat gain into the
building.
• The heat gain into the building from the rooftop is minimum because of green house.
• Use of five star rated equipments especially air conditioners.
• High Efficiency Super Diesel is used for all DG sets to reduce pollution.
• Diesel is centrifuged to clean it before use in the Generators.
• Energy consumption is monitored and analyzed on daily basis on a BAS system
• Individual lighting controls installed in terrace cafeteria to further conserve energy and educate our
clients as well as our team members on best practices on energy management.

PBC PROPAGATES LIFE STYLE CHANGES TO CONSERVE ENERGY, IN A BUILDING

Apart from the financial aspect, it also means that by conserving resources, and using them efficiently, we
can ensure a healthier and greener planet for ourselves.

Simple changes in lifestyle can offer substantial benefits to organizations:

• Switch off computer LCD when not using it. Do not leave it in standby mode.
• Turn off all electrical equipment at night – printers, photocopiers, etc.
• Use Chairs that have perforated back and bottom to provide for ventilation for human comfort.
• An example is the Herman Miller Aeron chair. This allows for indoor temperatures to be kept at 25
degrees Centigrade + /- 1 degree while providing occupant comfort. This is within the ASHRAE
specifications.
• Dress code for summer should be No Jackets / No ties to be comfortable at 25 degrees centigrade.
• Each degree centigrade increase in temperature means a saving of 5% in air- conditioning costs.
• Clothes made out of lighter and preferably cotton based fabrics feel cooler.
• Color of Green is White.
******************** X ********************


• White is a color that reflects light and thus has a cooling effect.
• The roof tops should be painted white, drive white color cars for better fuel efficiency and paint
the west side of the office building white(for buildings in the tropics).
• The building envelope/ facade should be air tight and one should use indoor plants to grow your
own fresh air, thereby reducing the fresh air requirements while meeting ASHRAE standards.
• Leverage / harness Internet Protocol to turn traditional buildings into networked automated
buildings that integrate the utilities with operations – Converging separate applications such as
heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), physical security and access, energy, lighting,
fire and safety.
• This enables to streamline processes by providing a single connection for all building and IT
systems.
• Use ‘Regen’ elevators to generate electricity. This will mean that the best way is to walk up and
come down on the elevator in a building.

Some of the initiatives taken are as follows:

GREEN JOB FAIR

It pays to have a conscience. This was the motto at Delhi’s first-ever job fair for the green sector. The fair
was an initiative to bring sustainable development into the mainstream.

The three-day event from September 24 – 26, 2009 at India Habitat Centre was organized by The Climate
Project India (TCPI) and the Sierra Club both non-profit organizations with a history in the environment
sector.

PBC, one of the sponsors of the event, also participated providing green job opportunities for the young
talent. When asked how one can create green jobs, Mr. Kamal Meattle answered “By energy savings,
energy saving tools and incentive for employees to drive them towards utility of environmental issues.
‘Green Jobs’ have a very high potential not only as a national intention but a global movement”.

STUDENTS OF INDIAN SCHOOL & SUSHANT SCHOOL OF ART AND ARCHITECTURE
LEARN SUSTAINABLE WAYS OF LIVING

Students of Indian School & Sushant School of Art and Architecture visited PBC and were sensitized on
various issues related to environment and how each individual can take small steps to save our planet –
“Earth” from the imminent dangers of Global warming & Climate Change.

The visit provided students with an excellent opportunity to learn about the features of a sustainable
building and find inspiration for ways to green one’s own home.

The students were inspired by the sustainability measures undertaken in the facility making it the first
retrofitted commercial building in the country to be certified with USGBC LEED (EB). What fascinated
the most was the Air Quality System which uses plants to clean the air indoors

Care for environment has to be nurtured and taught to children from the very beginning in order to create
responsible corporate citizens.

ANTI-CORRUPTION

10) Business should work against all forms of corruption, including extortion and bribery

PBC™-STIP has kept its policies transparent to prevent corruption in the business and is accountable &
responsible to its stakeholders in ensuring that it conducts itself in an ethical manner. It is our endeavour
to promote this specially in our supply chain management and we have to come out with a specific process
as part of a management System. However we have addressed this in our Management Standing
Instruction (MSI) as under:

Section -5 Issue -6: Acceptance of Gifts / Tips

Objective: To lay down a code of conduct for our employees so that we are viewed as a valued &
Principled Business Institution.

All employees are barred from accepting any gifts, gratuities, payments or other favours from
suppliers/clients. It must be understood that acceptance of any gifts / favours can lead to compromise of
PBC interests and will be seen to be a serious breach of discipline. In case any gift is received by any
employee (other than those of nominal value) from a client/supplier, this should be reported to the
respective Head of Departments.

We have similar policies & systems in place to arrest any kind of unethical and corrupt behavior by any
employee. We do not compromise on our organization’s values & principles.
