For Orbit Corporation, corporate social responsibilities are not something we consciously do or attempt – they are a core function of our business – evident in every project we undertake, every transaction we make, every horizon we seek.
Our corporate social responsibility revolves around the following endeavours:
ORBIT SOCIO FOUNDATION
Orbit Socio Foundation is a charitable organisation promoted by Orbit Corporation Limited, which donates 1% of profits to the initiative. Major areas of focus include Civic Grooming and Environment Management, Education for the underprivileged and Healthcare.
- Cancer Detection Camp for underprivileged women
- Sponsorships for education to street children and to orphan girls
ECO-CONSCIOUS PERSPECTIVE
A unique corporate social initiative, Eco-Conscious Perspective, promotes eco-friendly operational practices such as:
- Sewage treatment & waste management
- Conservation of water & energy
- Vermi-composting
- Reduced greenhouse gas emissions
- Adoption of voluntary charters and internationally approved codes of conduct for sustainable development that help reverse or delay the effects of climate change on human life
- An upcoming project – JSW House – is designed and built to acquire Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System, a widely accepted system to encourage and accelerate sustainable green building and development practices by creating and implementing universally understood and accepted tools and performance criteria. LEED-certified buildings lower operating costs and increase asset value, reduce waste sent to landfills, conserve energy and water, and reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions.
LABOUR MANAGEMENT & HOSPITALITY
Our commitment towards our workforce encompasses their safety, health and wellbeing, through measures like:
- Labour camps with adequate drinking water, food, electricity & restrooms
- Free lunch for all site staff
- Vermi-composting
- Regular health check-ups & trainings on first aid & fire-fighting
