We believe our success is tied to the well-being of the communities we serve.
We're not just present in retail locations, we're woven into the fabric of our communities. For over 20 years, we have championed causes close to our hearts – gender equity, sustainability, healthcare, education, and youth advocacy. We go beyond campaigns and believe in lasting change. So we partner with credible non-profits to drive real, grassroots progress over long term projects. We believe in the power of collective action, and together with our customers and business partners, we're building a brighter future where everyone can thrive.
We understand the power of supporting women for an equitable future. That's why we back initiatives that promote female education and leadership. We empower women entrepreneurs through dedicated programs, fostering financial inclusion and healthcare access for them and their families. Beyond that, we advocate for menstrual health; sanitation improvement, and safe drinking water accessibility. By empowering women, we strengthen families, communities, and our nation as a whole.
We are committed to environmental responsibility and recognize the importance of operating sustainably. Our CSR efforts include resource and skill investments in projects that promote plastic recycling, wildlife conservation and eco-friendly practices. We're constantly seeking ways to reduce our environmental footprint and participate in advocacy efforts to contribute to a greener future.
We believe everyone deserves access to quality healthcare. We have backed programs to support menstrual health and management through our End Period Shame initiative, and facilitated Covid healthcare and vaccination access for waste workers through our award-winning Project NARI. We support programs that improve healthcare access across the communities we serve. Creating a work culture conducive to mental wellness is a key priority, and we provide mental health support to all our employees.
We believe education is the cornerstone of a brighter tomorrow. That's why we go beyond traditional academics, focusing on real-world issues that impact our communities. Our education programs include Against Domestic Violence, Stop Sex Trafficking, Period Awareness and Support Her Education. Through strategic partnerships with credible non-profits and government bodies, we deliver impactful programs designed to empower individuals and foster stronger communities.
We believe that young voices deserve a seat at every table. Since 2022, under the aegis of The Body Shop India, we have advocated for greater youth participation in public life – registering 25 Million+ of young voters and raising 1 Million+ signatures supporting lowering the age of candidacy in lower house of Parliament. Our unique Youth Collective CEO advisory board consists of prominent youth activists and advises our senior management on becoming the most progressive, future forward organization we can be.
