Social
Commitment
No business can function in a vacuum. There is the
society at large with which it engages in innumerable
transactions; the more involved the engagement,
the better its qualitative and quantitative effect
on the business. Aware of this debt to society,
a successful corporate like Videocon is committed
to fulfilling its obligations: both as providers
of outstanding products as well as sterling community
initiatives.
They include, among others, a first-rate academic
haven for the high-school education of underprivileged
girls and a 100% world-class, charitable hospital
specializing in cancer and heart surgery for the
benefit of society’s marginalised sections.
Videocon’s deep-rooted commitment to environment
conservation translates into process improvements
that help recycle CRT glass, curb carbon emissions
and other pollutants. Among others, the group’s
India glass plant has supported a large-scale initiative
like the plantation of over 2,00,000 teak trees.
Apart from material support, society needs spirit;
that vital ingredient that makes the difference
between living life and merely existing. Videocon
is inspired heavily by the uplifting nature of sports;
its power to generate mass passion, where innumerable
hearts throb as in unison; its ability to draw people
together irrespective of differences in race, religion,
gender or caste. Unity of spirit and purpose is
ultimately what builds bridges between diverse cultures.
This is the core belief of a group that has operations
spread over a cross-cultural milieu worldwide. Videocon
supports mass sports for another reason: at the
heart of sports is fair play, a virtue that enjoys
exalted status among values cherished by Videocon.
The group’s sponsorship of cricketing events
across the globe underlies its commitment and passion
for sports as well as its goal to uplift the spirits
of a global audience. Videocon has not forgotten
the grassroots either; the Videocon School of Cricket
launched in Kolkata under the guidance of former
India captain, Saurav Ganguly, aims to inspire budding
cricketers in the age group of 10 to 17 years to
greater heights.
