Intending to promote Sustainability, Education, Healthcare and Livelihood creation in the society, Ingersoll Rand has recently launched "The Employee Giving Campaign". The campaign, which started in partnership with United Way of India, has made significant progress with the response. Under this campaign, the employees can voluntarily contribute one-two days’ salary and pledge support to an NGO of their choice and location. This campaign gives the freedom to an employee to choose the cause they believe in and to choose the amount that they would like to donate towards their cause.
The amount raised will be equally matched by Ingersoll Rand India and the Ingersoll Rand Global Foundation to be donated to over 15 pre-selected NGOs across cities towards empowerment of the marginalized sections of the society.
Some key highlights include educating over 10,000 underprivileged children in Delhi and Brengaluru, supporting destitute children in Bengaluru by providing Shelter, Education, Medical and Recreational support, restoration of eyesight and loss of vision prevention amongst children and adults through eye surgeries, to name a few.
Swati Bhattacharya, Vice-President – Corporate Relations and Public Affairs, said, “We have been running the ‘Employee Giving Campaign’ driven by our philosophy of sustainability and responsible corporate citizenship. This one-of-its kind campaign seeks to mobilize and enable employees to engage in meaningful community service activities. We are happy to have raised sufficient funds with which we hope to lighten up the lives of many households in India.”
With the Campaign, Ingersoll Rand has allowed its employees to inculcate and encourage a culture of extending a helping arm to the needy.
