Mr. Jamshyd Godrej is the company's chairman and managing director.

Godrej & Boyce's (G&B) was founded in 1897. G&B's story began as part of India's Swadeshi movement – the original 'Make in India' movement. Founded by Ardeshir Godrej (1868–1936), a serial innovator and inventor along with his brother Pirojsha Burjorji Godrej, who focused on manufacturing. They patented the world's first springless lock, built the first indigenously manufactured fire and burglar resistant safe in India, and later invented a process to make soap from vegetable oil.^[4][5]

Pirojsha's son Naval Godrej laid the foundation for the urban township of Pirojshanagar in Vikhroli, Mumbai, where the company's global headquarters and key operations are located today.^[4]

In Business Today B.K. Karanjia, in his book, Godrej: A Hundred Years, quotes a testimonial: A survivor of another fire in 1914 says of the family safe: "Being Godrej's, we were confident the papers [inside] would be found intact, but some of us had doubts about the safety of the pearls. On opening the safe, we were all agreeably surprised to see that the pearls were perfectly safe and as lustrous as before the fire." Even King George V and Queen Mary used a Godrej safe to store valuables on their 1911 India visit for the Delhi durbar.^[6]

Godrej & Boyce aims to generate over 1/3rd of its overall revenues from environment friendly products. Apart from this, G&B has supported a skilling initiative called Disha for more than ten years.^[4] As a part of its Good & Green strategy, the company focuses on three pillars:

1. Ensuring employability
2. Building a greener India
3. Innovating for Good & Green Products
