INTRODUCTION
The Paperboards & Specialty Papers Division came into existence in November 2002 with the
amalgamation of ITC Bhadrachalam Paperboards Ltd. with ITC Ltd. and incorporates Tribeni
Tissues.
ITC entered the field of paperboards in 1975 when it incorporated Bhadrachalam Paperboards
Ltd. The new company was setup as a integrated paperboard manufacturing facility and
commenced operations at Bhadrachalam in Andhra Pradesh, 300 km east of Hyderabad. The
Bhadrachalam mill today produces 210,000 TPY of papers & boards and is the largest single
location mill in India. The mill is focused on producing paperboards for packaging and graphics
segments and product range includes Cyber XLPac (folding box boards), Pearl/Saphire Graphik
(solid bleached boards) high value boards apart from the Ecoviron range of recycled boards.
The mill also makes liquid packaging boards for Tetrapak in India.
With the commissioning of the new fibre line in September ,07 the Bhadrachalam mill will have a
Elemental Chlorine Free pulp capacity of 240,000 TPY. The Bhadrachalam location today has
three board machines and two smaller paper machines. A new paper machine of 90000 tonnes
per year capacity is scheduled for commissioning in April’08. This line will have the capability to
make both uncoated and coated woodfree and communication papers. The unit is ISO
9002:2000 series accredited. The unit is also ISO 14001 certified for Environment Management
Systems.
The Tribeni Tissues unit has a hoary history and traces its founding to British American Tobacco
and commenced operations in 1949 manufacturing papers for the cigarette industry. Between
1961 & 1988 Tribeni was part of the Wiggins Teape Co. of the UK. It merged with ITC Ltd. in
1992. ITC Ltd. modernized the mill with an investment of USD 35 million and refurbished two of
the paper machines with latest drives and electronic controls. The Tribeni mill has a capacity of
33,000 TPY and has expanded its product range beyond cigarette tissues to fine papers,
packaging papers and specialties. The unit now has three paper machines making a stunningly
diverse range of papers from Cigarette Tissues and Components, Laminating Base Tissue,
Acid-Free and Anti-Rust Tissues, Low Grammage Printing Papers, Décor Papers to Insulation
Grade and Medical Grade Papers. The unit is ISO 9001:2000 version and ISO 14001
accredited.

The third manufacturing location at Bollarum near Hyderabad produces 5000 TPY of Cast
Coated Papers and Boards, 10,000 TPY of Poly Extrusion coated boards and 10000 TPY of
C2S art boards and Ivory cards. The unit is ISO 9001:2000 series accredited.
The Division is the market leader in South Asia in cartonboards and ranks second in turnover
within the Indian paper industry. We provide paperboard for most leading Fast Moving
Consumer Goods Brands in India. We are the largest Exporter of coated boards from India.
About 20% of our sales supplied to the international markets in Malaysia, Sri Lanka,
Bangladesh, Iran, Australia, UAE, Turkey, China, Singapore, UK, Greece, Germany and USA.

HISTORYThe Paperboard facility at Coimbatore was acquired from BILT Industrial Packaging Company
in March, 2004. The Mill is located at Thekkampatti Village, near Mettupalayam, in Coimbatore
Dist of Tamil Nadu. The commercial production under ITC management began on 29th March,
2004.
The Mill at present has a single board machine with a capacity of 90000 TPY. The main products
are Coated Duplex Boards Greyback and whiteback made with 100% recycled fibre. The board
machine has a 3-wire fourdrinier section, MG Cyliner, size press and three coaters. A Siemens
DCS system and Measurex QCS system ensures that machine can delivery high quality recycled
boards for demanding print and converting applications. A modern Finishing House ensures the
delivery of rolls and sheets, with short turnaround and times. The fibre supply to the Board
machine was supplemented with a Deinking line in early 2006. A lamination line has been added
at the unit to produce composite solid boards in high calipers for the publishing , display and
packaging segments.
Eco Naturo and Eco Naturo-HS are the two grades of Coated Duplex Grey Back board made
from this unit. For almost the first time in India, a customer has the option to buy a higher bulk
and stiffness of Greyback Board (GD2 grade) for his carton requirements.
The unit has made rapid strides in becoming a world-class producer and has achieved ISO 9001,
ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certifications.
The product range, true to ITC’s innovative streak, has been enlarged by developing cone boards
for textiles cones and greyboards for book binding boards.
Addition of power block and deinking facility will increase the competitiveness of the Unit, with
potential to make 200000 TPA of Recycled Boards for Indian and export markets.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
7
HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING Each function is expected to take the opportunity of the planning process every year to integrate
human resource plans with business plans. The focus should be on clearly highlighting how the
strategy of organisation of each function supports key business and functional strategies.
It is also necessary for functions to present their organisation structures clearly demarcating
responsibility levels, identifying the positions in each level as well as the number of job holders
in each position.
During the presentation of the business plan, the structure so presented will also be reviewed and
approved each year.
All decisions regarding recruitment, re-positioning of people, promotions etc., will be in
accordance with the approved structure.
Functions should avail of the opportunity of the planning process to review whether changes are
necessary to ensure that the structure supports strategy and key business imperatives. It will be
useful to address the following questions in this regard:
• To what extent does the current structure facilitate the achievement of business plans and
functional strategies?
• Do the current defined roles of all employees enable the business to effectively
implement the change required to achieve these strategies?
• Do the current roles of all employees enhance the business’ ability to compete for
customer satisfaction?
8
• Does the structure allow for organisation flexibility and dynamism thus rendering it more
competitive?
The organisation structure with details of positions etc., will be approved by the CEC once every
year during the presentation of the business plan. Apart from providing a foundation for Career
Management and Management Development efforts, this approved structure will also be used
when decisions are taken on recruitment, re-positioning of people, promotions etc.
CODE OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT ITC expects its entire people to pursue the highest levels of professionalism in their work and to
this end has formulated a Code of Professional Conduct.
PREAMBLE
ITC is a professionally managed organisation and one of our core values is “trusteeship”. We
believe the various stakeholders in “trust” and we have handed over this organisation to us, as
professional managers are the “trustees” of these stakeholders. It is therefore, our responsibility
to ensure that the organisation is managed in a manner that protects and furthers the interests of
all our stakeholders.
It is also our belief that in order to serve the interests of our stakeholders in perpetuity, we must
build ITC-PSPD into a business institution whose dynamism and vitality are anchored in its core
values.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
All Company employees must avoid situations in which their personal interest could conflict
with the interest of the Company. This is an area in which it is impossible to provide
comprehensive guidance but the guiding principle is that any conflict or potential conflict must
be disclosed to higher management for guidance and appropriate action. we need to be perceived
to be at arms length from any situation that might compromise personal integrity.
TRANSPARENCY AND AUDITABILITY
9
All Company employees shall ensure that their actions in the conduct of business are totally
transparent except where the needs of business security dictate otherwise. Such transparency
shall be brought about through appropriate policies, systems and processes, including as
appropriate, involvement of more than one manager in recording decision logic and maintaining
supporting records. All managers shall voluntarily ensure that their areas of operation are open to
audit and the conduct of their activities are totally auditable.
RELATIONS WITH FELLOW EMPLOYEES
In relating with each other, employees will uphold the values which are at the core of our HR
Philosophy – trust, teamwork, mutuality and collaboration, meritocracy, objectivity, self respect
and human dignity. In areas such as selection and recruitment, meritocracy will be the only
criterion and all managers will scrupulously avoid considerations other than merit and suitability.
RELATIONSHIPS WITH SUPPLIERS AND CUTOMERS
All company employees will ensure that in their dealings with suppliers and customers, the
Company’s interests are never compromised. Accepting gifts and presents of more than a
nominal value, gratuity payments and other payments from suppliers or customers will be
viewed as a serious breach of discipline as this could lead to compromising the Company’s
interests.
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION / PUBLICITY
No employee shall disclose or use any confidential information gained in the course of
employment with the Company for personal profit or for the advantage of any other person. No
employee shall provide any information either formally or informally to the press or any other
publicity media unless specifically authorised to do so.
COST CONSCIOUSNESS
No employee shall misuse Company facilities. Except where such facilities have been provided
for personal use either by policy or specific permission, no employee shall use Company
facilities for personal use. Even in their use for Company purposes, employees shall exercise
care to ensure that costs are reasonable and there is no wastage.
LEGAL COMPLLIANCE
Ensuring legal and regulatory compliance is the responsibility of the Chief Executive and the
Divisional Management Committee (hereafter referred to as DMC). The Company cannot accept
10
practices which are unlawful or may be damaging to its reputation. DMC must satisfy itself that
soundly based and adequately managed arrangements exist, ensure that they comply with the
legal and regulatory requirements affecting the business and identify and respond to
developments in the legal environment in which they operate. In the event that the implication of
law is not clear, eminent legal counsel whose opinion should be documented must support the
course of action chosen.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
The Company attaches great importance to a healthy environment and to the safety of its
employees. Conditions should be such that there are no serous or fatal accidents. Good physical
working conditions, high standards of hygiene and housekeeping are essential.
Particular attention should be paid to training of employees to increase safety awareness and
adoption of safe working methods.
POLICY ON HUMAN RIGHTSITC is committed to sustain its position as one of India’s most valuable corporations through
world-class performance. ITC believes that the limits to sustainable growth will be determined
less by access to financial capital and more by the commitment to preserve and augment social
capital. ITC is therefore committed to employee engagement that upholds individual dignity and
respects human rights. ITC’s employment practices are premised on attracting and retaining
talent based only on merit. Its capability development agenda ensures the deepening and
enhancement of skills of all its employees through customised training and development inputs.
ITC is committed to conducting business in a manner that reflects its high ethical and moral
standards. It expects its employees and business partners to subscribe and adhere to this
philosophy, which honours all local laws and upholds the spirit of human rights as enshrined in
existing international standards such as the Universal Declaration and the Fundamental Human
Rights Conventions of the ILO.
In particular, ITC’s social policy is as follows:
• ITC’s commitment to human rights extends to all its significant investment decisions in
order to ensure integration of statutory compliances, environmental, occupational health and
safety, and human rights and labour policies into business decision-making processes.
11
• ITC endeavours to ensure that all its service providers/vendors incorporate high standards
on human rights, safety and health, labour practices and environment in their operations as
practiced by ITC.
• ITC’s approach to its human resources is premised on the fundamental belief of fostering
meritocracy in the organisation which promotes diversity and offers equality of opportunity to all
employees. ITC does not engage in or support direct or indirect discrimination in recruitment,
compensation, access to training, promotion, termination or retirement based on caste, religion,
disability, gender, age, race, colour, ancestry, marital status or affiliation with a political,
religious, or union organization or minority group.
• ITC respects the employees’ right to organize themselves into interest groups,
independent from supervision by the management. In keeping with the spirit of this Policy,
employees are not discriminated against for exercising this right.
• ITC does not employ any person below the age of eighteen years at the workplace. ITC
prohibits the use of forced or compulsory labour at all its units. No employee is made to work
against his/her will or work as bonded/forced labour, or subject to corporal punishment or
coercion of any type related to work.
• All major changes in operations, involving work processes, manning norms and other
productivity linked issues are implemented after discussions with the employees and the
recognised unions at each location.
• The Company is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace to all its
employees. It is the Company’s objective that employees will have access to health services to
prevent and manage HIV/AIDS. The Company will not discriminate against any employee
infected by HIV/AIDS with regard to promotions, training and other privileges and benefits as
applicable to all employees. The Company will not make pre-employment HIV/Aids screening
mandatory as part of its fitness – to – work assessment. HIV/Aids test will not be part of the
annual health check up unless specifically requested by an employee.
All employees are expected to adhere to, and comply with, the Policy on human rights, labour
practices and decent work environment.
ITC’s social policy is applicable at all units of the Company. The human resources function of
each business is the primary custodian of this Policy, under the supervision of the Divisional/
12
SBU Chief Executives through the members of their Divisional Management Committees,
General Managers and Unit Heads.
The Corporate Human Resources provides specialist services to assist in the implementation and
for providing guidance and support to all concerned.
PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The appraisal system is a key human resource management system which forms the
basis for performance management, career management and management development efforts.
While the system enables the setting of objectives and facilitates the review of performance
against these objectives, it is also a useful tool to build customer focus and enhance
competitiveness.
The Performance Management System at ITC is one of its best available. Each manager is
appraised of his performance at the end of each year. The system is very transparent and mostly
driven by the Appraisee. The assessment is done against the mutually agreed Key Focus Areas
(KFAs) set at the beginning of the year between the Appraisee and the Appraiser. The KFAs so
agreed upon are reviewed mid-way at the end of 6 months period. The system allows one to
unleash his potential and gives an opportunity to exhibit his talents, which will be rightly
recognized and rewarded through the Performance Management System.
In the case of newly joined managers, they are assessed mid-way after six months of
training/probation. They are expected not only to understand the operational area in which they
13
are working, but also know as to how the business is operated. They ought to know the process
involved and the system as a whole. They are expected to bring in their ideas and throw light on
various operational issues with a fresh lookout. To assess how far could they pick up the
knowledge and sensitize themselves with the business environment around, the mid-term
Appraisal is done by the HOD which will be reviewed by the Functional head and forwarded by
HR through the concerned Unit Head. This process helps in knowing the development of the
newly joined manager.
After assessment of the performance of the individual, a rating is given to the performance of the
individual on which his increment is sanctioned by HR Department. The Ratings are
Outstanding, Good, Satisfactory, Barely Satisfactory & Poor.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIESThe Company recognizes management of environmental issues relating to its business as a key
component of responsible corporate citizenship and therefore accords the highest corporate
priority to it. We believe this is the key determinant of sustainable development.
Accordingly, the Company is committed to the “best international practices” in environmental
matters arising out of its business and activities and expects each functional head to ensure that
this objective is taken upon as his responsibility.
All the functions must establish procedures for assessing the environmental effects of present
and future activities and should, beyond applicable laws and regulations, pursue positive
environmental policies, practices and standards aimed at achieving the highest international
standards in their activities in relation to their physical environment.
LEADING BY EXAMPLE
17
Regardless of how personally ethical and professional an employee is, or how much attention
management pays to developing a professional code for the organization, if the Company’s
senior managers act unprofessionally, they implicitly encourage managers down the line to do
the same. The opposite is also true : senior managers who visibly exhibit high professional and
ethical standards become role models for others in the organization and raise its overall standard
of professional behavior.
It is the organization’s senior management that sets the professional tone. Through both their
words and their actions – though what they do is more important than what they say – the
organization’s leadership conveys what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior. ITC-PSPD’s
senior management must constantly reinforce through their actions and behavior that our stated
beliefs of responsible corporate citizenship are rooted in individual conviction and personal
integrity
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITYZero Waste Management Programme
The awareness and concern of the environment amongst the public at large is still very low in
India. Most believe that it is the concern of only a few. Waste management is one such issue. It is
essential to sensitize the future generation on the disastrous consequences of today's ways of
managing waste.
Two years ago, a unique campaign "Zero Waste Management Programme" was initiated by
ITC's Paperboards & Specialty Papers Division (ITC PSPD) as the company firmly believes in
environmental consciousness for sustainable development. The main focus of this initiative is to
create awareness among school children on waste management, its impact on the environment
and hence the importance of segregation of waste at source. The programme has been
implemented in about 100 schools in Hyderabad and Secunderabad and will touch 200 schools
by April 2005.
18
Interactive workshop in August 2005
"ITC Limited, paperboards & Specialty Papers Division in association with PEAS (Program for
Environmental Awareness in Schools) and Sukuki Exnora has conducted an interactive
workshop on 18th August, 2005 in Hyderabad.
From a modest beginning of a handful of schools, the initiative has gathered momentum with
over 200 schools in Hyderabad actively participating in the program. While the schools are
encouraged to segregate waste at source, we facilitate pick up of segregated waste paper from
these schools.
Over 1,00,000 children are sensitized
ITC PSPD sponsor Eco-melaOrganized by Programme for Environment Awareness in Schools (PEAS), the Eco-Mela had a
participation of over 50 schools, displaying models and initiatives of school children.
