A
heritage of giving
Voltas, true to the Tata
tradition of improving the quality of life,
has long regarded participation in social
development as a whole-hearted preoccupation
that enriches the corporation itself. The
company has always gone beyond its traditional
business and industrial concerns to involve
itself in projects that bring about upliftment
in the lives of the underpriveleged and
the deprived.
The concern springs from
a deeply held belief that a true corporate
vision must encompass more than those to
whom the Company markets its services and
products. Voltas understands that the time
and resources thus invested and the professional
expertise shared with the nation come back
to the corporation in the long run as expected
dividends of reputation, opportunity and
acceptance.
Through the years, there
have been numerous causes to which the volunteers
of Voltas have given freely of their time,
their talents and their concern:
- J.N. Tata Endowment
- IMPACT
- Dorab Tata Trust
- Muliple Sclerosis Society of India
- Shanti Avedna Ashram
- National Centre for the Performing Arts
- Worldwide Fund for Nature
- National Association for the Blind
- Vatsalya
- Joseph Cardijn Technical School
- ANZA Special School
- Jagruti Sanstha
- Shepherd Widows'Home
- Akanksha
- Bal Asha Ghar
- School of Hope
- Mother Theresa's Home
The
power of people for people
Beyond organization. Way
ahead of the frontiers of official effort.
With a joy that stems from within, expressed
in the involvement of more than 900 participants
from various levels of the organization,
who choose to serve the people around them.
They are the volunteers of Voltas, who take
up motivational visits, raise funds, and
organise the sales of products... with the
expectation of little more than the pleasure
of serving selflessly.
Volunteering in Voltas
is done systematically. Volunteers across
the organization regularly visit the not
so fortunate to spread cheer and hope. Needs
are identified and guidance is given to
meet these needs. Voltas encourages and
supports employee volunteering.
The declaration of the
Tata Council on Social Responsibility is
disseminated to all employees through internal
communications, since all are expected to
be aware of the declaration. Reporting on
community initiatives is regularly done
through the intranet. The community is central
to the core values we adhere to in the Tata
Group.
If Voltas has a core,
it is its businesses. If Voltas has a heart,
it is its volunteers.
