We are inclusive of our communities through a range of social interventions, enhancing skills and building social infrastructure to improve their quality of life.
While our CSR approach focuses on the development of communities around the vicinity of our plants, we have also developed innovative programs that leverage our capabilities as a paint manufacturer and home improvement service provider to enhance livelihoods of underserved communities through vocational training and skills development.

Patients who require further medical care and treatment are referred to local hospitals.
All expenses related to medical camps or treatment charges at the hospital are borne by
Providing and Improving Sanitation Facilities
For the underserved communities around our plants, we have partnered with local organizations to help build toilets and improve sanitary conditions. By identifying homes through the Panchayat head, and requests from under privileged families, we support the project and are directly involved in its structuring, location selection, customization, execution and awareness building sessions to educate beneficiaries on proper maintenance. The toilets are designed to promote hygiene as they require minimal maintenance and have leach pits to convert domestic waste into manure.
Water Conservation
Livelihoods, food security and local socio-economic development are linked to the availability of adequate amounts of clean water. In the Indian context, the problem of water scarcity is further complicated by population growth, urbanization and industrialization. We believe it is our responsibility to judiciously use and help conserve this precious resource. Our approach includes providing support and infrastructure at each stage of water conservation, water preservation, water re-charge and waste water treatment.
Water is a critical input in our manufacturing process. We are conscious of our dependence on water and have strived to optimize our water consumption by implementing a range of water conservation projects, waste water treatment, reusing process water and water recharging initiatives at all of our manufacturing facilities.
Our key interventions include:
Awareness on water conservation in schools and nearby villages
Installation of roof top rainwater harvesting and recharge systems in village communities and schools
Promoting integrated watershed development in areas around manufacturing locations
Water recharge through de-silting of lakes.
