Fiinovation implements CSR Project with People's Forum

Fiinovation, a top global Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and sustainability consultancy has entered into a partnership with People's Forum, along with a Public Limited Company in the business of manufacture of Calcined Petroleum Coke, for a social welfare intervention on Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WaSH) components in Paradip.


People's Forum is a non-profit organisation that works in sectors including women and child development, health and sanitation, livelihood and agriculture.
The CSR programme will intend to benefit 700 households in the district, by sensitising the locals on water, sanitation, and hygiene (WaSH) practices. Evidently, the programme will ensure access to safe drinking water by installing community Reverse Osmosis (RO) plants in the locality. The activities will include installation of storage tanks for collection and storage of the purified water.

Through this initiative, each household will be able to collect 20 litres of safe drinking water each day in jerry cans.The company claimed that people of Paradip face immense problems in fetching safe drinking water due to unavailability and through this project, Fiinovation intends to improve the quality of healthcare with access to clean water, which is vital in maintaining good health. In addition, the project also aims to create community-level awareness sessions on the prevention of waterborne disease and combating malnutrition by conducting frequent awareness drives and health camps.

To identify the key problem within the community, a rigorous need assessment study was also conducted by Fiinovation Team, which resulted in some important observations and essential requirements.

Dr Soumitro Chakraborty, CEO, Fiinovation Company while speaking about the partnership, stated that the project focuses on addressing the most essential problems in the area. "We are proud to partner with People's Forum and take this initiative ahead which largely focuses on improving day-to-day lives of the people from the marginalised sector, who lack basic facilities like clean drinking water, healthy environment, and most important primary healthcare facilities."
The villages witnessed some prime problems like insufficient, irregular and unsafe drinking water which leads to a number of water-borne diseases. Another problem that has been identified is air and water pollution prevalent due to the presence of many industries, resulting in respiratory and skin diseases. Adding to the burden, sadly enough, non-availability of primary healthcare services is a major challenge in the said area.

To ensure an efficient execution of the project, Fiinovation has thoroughly researched and identified People's Forum, which will sensitise and create awareness amongst people.

"Our team at Fiinovation and our partners including People's Forum realise the approach towards addressing social challenges with cost-effectiveness and time-orientation, and are certain that our consistent endeavours like these will bring a long-lasting change," added Chakraborty.

As a part of the project, the other essential activities include tree plantation in and around the colonies, school campus, playground and other suitable places, aimed to reduce the flow of pollutants and dust. To create a sense of ownership and responsibility, the existing Self Help Groups will also be capacitated to carry out the execution along with the NGO.

Nearly a year-long project, it aims to benefit around 3500 beneficiaries and contribute towards a better life by tapping on some key challenges witnessed in the area.

How does Corporate Social Responsibility affect a company's bottom Line?

Corporate Social Responsibility doesn't remain a marketing gimmick for the businesses anymore. Rather it plays an important role in building a strong association or bond between the organisation and its bottom line. If the programs are executed and communicated well to the employees, they can prove to be the key driver in employee and other stakeholder engagements. The data shared above  reflects the impact of employee engagement wherein it is found that 72% of the employed people in America choose a company which also support the social causes apart from providing the similar set of benefits. The research also reveals that employees engaged in social cause programmes are 28% more likely to be proud of their company's values and 36% more likely to feel strong loyalty in comparison to the employees not engaged in the social initiatives. Engagement of employees or businesses in social initiatives helps them build a good rapport among the stakehol...

Rainwater harvesting can be a key solution to meet the dire water crisis knocking at our doorstep.

It is scary to wake up to news that talks about your city heading towards a Day Zero. Predictions and analysis of the water crisis in Bangalore paints a very grim picture. A recent study by the Down to Earth magazine published by the CSE shows ‘at least 200 cities across the world are facing a severe water crisis, among them Bengaluru, are fast moving towards a situation where taps start running dry.’ The water crisis is not a recent problem, however, right now, India is facing a situation that is remarkably worse than our generations ever faced. As per a report by BBC, Bengaluru is positioned second after Brazil’s Sao Paulo among the 11 global cities that are likely to run out of drinking water. Though the mismanaged use of water for domestic and agriculture are few key reasons for the disaster, there are other evident agents that lead to the water crisis in India. For instance, many Soft drink brands have come to the light for excessive water usage in southern parts of India....

Best CSR Companies to Work For in 2024

    It is not enough to just employ people, pay them a salary and make them work. An organisation should also ensure that ethical labour practices are followed, where the rights and dignity of employees are respected, where every kind of diversity, be it cultural, ethnic or in terms of gender is honoured. Ethical labour practices also include fair wages, safe working conditions, reasonable working hours, and the eradication of child labour and forced labour. Every individual deserves a workplace where there is no discrimination in any form, where employment decisions are based only on the requirements of the job. Every employee deserves an organisation which respects their work-life balance, which is the need of the hour in today’s date. Lack of work-life balance can lead to decreased productivity, mental and physical health issues and reduced loyalty towards the employer.
