Helping Communities Reach for the Stars
Overview
Empowering people and communities is a way of life at Blue Star. Air, water and food are three things that life depends on, and we use our expertise in cooling, purifying and preserving these precious resources. We make these products and services accessible across all sections of society. Our social responsibility efforts are also dedicated to supporting sustainable initiatives across education, skilling, children and women’s health, and women’s empowerment. We are especially dedicated to improving the quality of life of those in the communities around our manufacturing facilities.
Our efforts started as the Blue Star Foundation, which was set up in 1982, to build supportive initiatives in the areas of education, health, and general poverty alleviation. These efforts have flourished and become more substantial over time, with structured CSR activities. The involvement of our employees and the application of their domain knowledge and skill sets has helped in creating and compounding a long-lasting and sustainable impact in the projects undertaken.
Our CSR activities are strategically mapped out, monitored and evaluated by a dedicated CSR Committee and Board of Trustees of the Blue Star Foundation.
