What are the CSR initiatives of Venus?
Venus Remedies has undertaken several CSR initiatives reflecting our
commitment to social responsibility. Whether for our employees,
environment, society, or the underprivileged, Venus complies, by all
means, to work effectively towards the betterment of all. Some of these
initiatives include:
Venus Army initiatives
These primarily focus on supporting and empowering Venus employees through various programs and activities aimed at enhancing their well-being, skill development, and community engagement. These initiatives are designed to foster a sense of unity and purpose among employees while contributing to the betterment of society and the environment.
Cauvery Calling by Isha Foundation
Venus has been actively participating in the Isha Foundation’s Cauvery Calling initiative since Sept 2019. This is a pioneering campaign that aims to revitalize India’s rivers, starting with Cauvery, transforming the lives of millions of people. Venus encourages its employees as well as visitors to plant trees and perform activities that cater to environmental sustainability. Even the vast manufacturing units of Venus are populated with an abundance of plants, herbs, shrubs and greenery.
IndiaSterlocked
This is a Venus initiative (under its brand Sterloc) started in 2023, focusing on spreading awareness about hygiene and sanitation. With the tagline “Buy One Donate One,” IndiaSterlocked mission is to make healthcare and hygiene resources accessible in rural and underserved communities of society.
Adopted Govt School in Sect - 19, Panchkula
As a part of our contribution to education, Venus has adopted the Govt School in Sect - 19, Panchkula. With this initiative, Venus aims to renovate and upgrade the facilities at this school, making it more student-friendly and up-to-date for quality education. We even encourage our employees to volunteer as teaching faculty in the school.
Education Grant-In-Aid policy
With this initiative, Venus provides financial assistance or scholarships to support education for the children of our workers, contributing to the development of future talent and leaders.
Departmental Initiatives for Environmental Sustainability
Venus employees have switched to various digital resources and technologies, cutting back on paper usage as much as possible. Alongside, we have also established tools that help keep track of the type and amount of plastic being used in our items.
Partnership with Spherule
We have also recently partnered with Spherule, a Pune-based organization started in 2016. While Spherule works across 17 categories of social causes, including women empowerment, hygiene, sexual harassment, skill development, and poverty eradication, our recent collaboration with them is specifically for our UMMID campaign to spread awareness about infertility. Together, we will conduct 30 medical expert activities in rural areas of Pune, Gurgaon, and the Tricity region, preceded by 2-3 pre-workshops.
Other initiatives
Apart from these, Venus also makes monetary contributions every month for multiple causes, including fixed as well as ad-hoc charity. Some of our fixed contributions are at Tek Chand Sur Charitable Trust for specially-abled children and the Sarvani Association. Ad-hoc charities vary as per requirement.
