Global Day for People + Planet 2024

Team India

At Shaw Contract, we believe we have responsibility to each other and to our habitat, to people & planet. 

To celebrate the Global Volunteer Month each year, our Shaw Contract team joined together around the globe to give back to our local communities. Starting on the east coast of Australia, to Asia and Middle East, passing the baton all around the globe, and finishing on the west coast of Canada - we gave associates time off to join their colleagues across the whole company to volunteer their services in local communities.

Read more below about the incredible activities our India team were involved in!

 

Team Bangalore: Tree plantation drive

Our Bangalore team, in association with Space Matrix (customer) took part in a tree planting initiative. Hands On CSR, an NGO, helped us in the execution.  

The idea was to help foster a mini forest that would address the pressing issue of urban heat islands and climate change. 

Our approach involved planting two to seven trees per square meter (with 95 indigenous plants), using native species to create dense, multilayered forests. 

Team Delhi: Volunteering at a special needs school

Our Delhi team, with support from our customer Space Matrix and aligned dealer Turnstand, organized an educational support drive at Muskaan PAEPID, a disability services and support institution.

The team spent quality time with the specially abled kids and observed their ways of learning. It was a deeply enlightening experience for the team and an opportunity to learn.

Team Chennai: Nutritious meals & education materials

The Chennai team partnered with TOFFIS Interior Environments to visit an NGO working in child welfare.

They supplied educational materials and organised a quality mid-day meal for the children.

Team Hyderabad: Building nests to attract sparrows

As we all know, sparrows are a rare sight in urban settings.

Our Hyderabad team did its bit to create awareness and save sparrows by partnering with Dhruvansh for a nest-building activity.

The laudable initiative was supported by Seating World along with participation by Zyeta.

Team Mumbai: Giving a fresh look to school walls

Our Mumbai team partnered with Matrix Architectural Solutions and Studio 99 Design Cell in a plantation and wall repainting drive at the Zilla Parishad School, Bhatpada, Palghar.

It was an event that drew enthusiastic responses from everyone involved.
