Corporate Social Responsibilities

Community Initiatives – “We care beyond Business”

We believe that Corporate Social Responsibility is a continuing commitment by business to behave ethically and contribute to economic development as well as of the local community and society at large...

All our CSR initiatives are devoted towards creating a difference in the society and sustaining them, focusing on health, education etc

Our focus on CSR..

As a part of Medical camps, in 2008-09 we organized an eye camp in association with Aravind Eye hospital at Maniyar. A total of 260 people benefited out of the camp from nearby locality (Vadaserikara & Ranni Perinad Panchayats). Medicines and spectacles were distributed at subsidized rates and 10 patients were taken for cataract surgery to be held at Aravind Eye Hospitals, Tirunelveli.

Developmental Initiatives Partnering with NGO’s & Government

We always extend a timely help to the local community whenever a need arises. In this regard in 2007 we have organized an awareness camp about the spreading of the contagious ailment, chikungunya. This camp was done for the students of Government Higher Secondary School, Kalamassery in association with the Primary Health Center & Kalamassery Municipality.

Chikungunya - state wide cleaning campaign was held all over the state. We supported the campaign by aiding necessary equipment to the local authorities.

Celebrations with Orphanages

We celebrate our festivals with socially & economically backward sections of the society. Onam, being the traditional festival of Kerala, we provide Onam Sadhya (a special lunch) to many of the nearby orphanages.

Other Services

We support the NGO’s for their services rendered to the society. We have provided space & infrastructure for the Rotary club of the local community for Karamakendra. We have adopted our local library and offered various facilities for them.

Support to Educational Institutions

Education being the prime factor for the development of our future generation, we have supported nearby educational institutions by providing furnitures and other necessary materials.

Environment – “Striking an ecological balance”

We always have paramount concern on the surrounding environment. Our commitment towards high standards of environmental management is fulfilled through various initiatives such as reducing the water consumption, water treatment facility, controlling the dust and noise emission levels within the limits, stretching green belt in our campus and by maintaining local ecologies.

Our Maniyar plant has been awarded the International Environmental Certification, ISO 14001.

Go Green

To stretch the green cover across our company campus, we have initiated go green projects in all our plant locations. We started the Go Green initiative with mass tree planting at our plant campus on World Environment day in 2008. Go green is an ongoing initiative which includes beautification of our campus & tree planting. We have totally planted 200 trees, creating an Herbal garden in our premises.

Effluent Treatment Facility

We have initiated water effluent treatment facilities in all our locations, primarily to avoid water polluting the bionetwork. Since water being a depleting resource, we have taken steps to reduce the water consumption by recycling waste water to reuse for secondary purposes.

We also have set up facilities to convert food waste to reusable energy resource in our canteen through the Bio Gas Plant.
