Giving Back To Society
At TransUnion CIBIL, we believe in keeping the overall well being of the society at the core of our values and purpose. For us, Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability are not mere obligations but are vital pillars of our continual success.
Our core value of Sustainability is aligned to taking “utmost care of society” by creating awareness about the less privileged and encouraging the practice of “Giving Back”.
TransUnion CIBIL’s community investment is focused on the core theme of “Educating the girl child”.
Objectives
The main objectives of TransUnion CIBIL’s CSR policy is:
- To create self-sustained improvement in the life of a “girl child” by facilitating continued education
- To encourage employees to contribute in terms of both efforts / time and monetarily
- To generate a feeling of goodwill among employees as well as stakeholders
Arun Thukral, Advisor, TransUnion CIBIL, Board of Directors says, “If a child receives an education, their life changes. Education is prerequisite for a changed life. I was very keen that if we can even change one girl’s life, we would have been doing our job. That’s were this came from.” Arun champions heavily for the education of India’s marginalized youth, especially girls. Citing India’s historic male – preference and his desire to combat it, Arun firmly believes that the effects of TransUnion CIBIL’s transformative philanthropic efforts will extend further in the years to come and believes that “If the mindset of a woman changes, it will change the world.”
