The Godrej Group was established in 1897 out of a desire to demonstrate economic self-sufficiency and excellence within India in the pre-independence decades. From safes that withstood fires better than international competitors', to one of the world's first soaps from vegetable oil, and the ballot boxes for independent India's first general election, the group has a proud tradition of making meaningful products and building businesses that serve the country's interests. We have always focused on people and the planet along with the profits. Approximately 23% of the promoter stake in the Godrej Group, is owned by philanthropic trusts that work on environmental, educational, and health care issues in India. We are also bringing together our passion and purpose to make a difference through our Good & Green strategy of shared values to create a more employable Indian workforce, build a greener India and innovate for ‘Good' and ‘Green' products.
