ITC steps into its next century with an ambitious portfolio of businesses for tomorrow that span Fast Moving Consumer Goods, Paper & Packaging, Hotels, Agri Business and Information Technology. Its aspirations are matched by its formidable array of enterprise capabilities – deep consumer insights, international quality products, world-class human capital, globally contemporary business processes, powerful brands, an excellent trade marketing and distribution infrastructure and investments in cutting edge R&D.
The strategic choices made by its leadership over the years, the untiring effort of its dedicated human capital, the support of its shareholders and the trust of millions of consumers and its partners have today transformed ITC into a Rs. 26,000 crore company with a Profit After Tax of over Rs. 4000 crores and a Market Capitalisation that exceeds Rs. 100,000 crores. However, the financial value created for the stakeholders is only one pillar of ITC’s contribution. An even more meaningful contribution lies in its efforts to build societal and environmental capital for the nation (detailed in subsequent chapters).
ITC takes pride in its 100 year legacy of sustained effort, unmatched commitment to growth, robust strategy and an unshakable belief in delivering differentiated value and services. |
