Sustainability Champion of the Year
On winning the award John said, “Our Pillar of Strength – Giving Back, has made us rub shoulders with some of the Top Companies in India on a platform that recognizes Sustainable Social Responsibility. It is the involvement of each and every one of our associates in the CSR activities we do that touches the lives of people in our communities. We not only give, we ensure that it is sustainable – be it in teaching Silambam (Martial Arts) as a mode of self-defense for children in Public Schools or planting and caring for trees for the future or erecting Solar Power Plants that keep giving back for 25 years! I would like to dedicate this award to all of us who continue to believe that it is important to Give Back!”
