Social Initiatives
We place a high value on maintaining our environment, health, and safety because it is crucial for our employees. Our accreditation with ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 serves as proof of this.
We founded a charitable trust in 1999 to give the poor access to critical medical care. With the assistance of nearby blood banks, the trust successfully organizes medical and blood donation camps on a regular basis, raising public awareness and motivating people to donate blood. In addition to its existing initiatives, the charity has a mission to guarantee “Every Child in School.”
We think that every kid has the fundamental right to an education and that no child should be denied this right just because they lack access to it or the means to pursue their aspirations. Thus, trust raises awareness and makes it easier to educate children.
In order to contribute to a greener and healthier environment, we ourselves grow trees and help others to do the same.
