“Our aim is to transform livelihoods,” said Rakesh Rao
CEO of Crown Paints Limited. “Our commitment is in
supporting societies and enhancing the environment in
which we operate. We joined hands with the Rotary Club
International by donating towards projects in line with
their mission ‘service above self’, such as KANBIS sports
club for girls’ education support and the transformation
of learning environments, amongst many others”.
CSR has become an increasingly important activity to
businesses nationally and internationally. Through our
CSR Program, Crown Paints has put a high impact on
society and supporting government directly or indirectly
for the betterment of society”.
