Blue Star’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) philosophy is built on three pillars namely

• Environment protection
• Energy conservation
• Community development around its facilities.

The Company is highly committed to the cause of protecting the environment. Energy efficiency of its products remains a corner-stone of its research and development efforts Air, water and energy management services as well as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) consultancy for Green Buildings have been part of its business and practices. The Company has also been contributing in the technical domain in the use of eco-friendly refrigerants in its products.

Energy Conservation goes beyond using efficient products. A huge amount of energy is wasted nationally due to sheer ignorance and lack of awareness. Blue Star helps deserving institutions such as hospitals and colleges to save power by conducting free walk-through energy audits. The Company has conducted several such audits with energy recommendations for Jai Hind College, St Xavier’s College, Nirmala Niketan College of Social Work, National Association for the Blind (NAB), Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS), JJ School of Architecture and Dilkhush Special School, amongst others.  

In its efforts towards community development around the Company’s facilities, the Company has initiated and sponsored a study in the villages around its Wada Plant to understand the immediate needs. Vocational training and health emerged as pressing needs in this underdeveloped region. Blue Star has sponsored the vocational training courses offered by an NGO, KSWA in Wada. This centre was set up to support a vocational training initiative for school and college dropouts to make them employable contributing members of their families and communities. Regular visits by the Company’s employees have aided in technical support to KSWA for conducting the courses.

In addition to the above CSR efforts, the Company sponsors various philanthropic activities through its Trust, Blue Star Foundation, which has been supporting several activities in the areas of children education and healthcare apart from relief measures in national calamities.
