Marico Pledges To Raise Rs 2 Crore With GiveIndia

As India continues to battle COVID-19, Marico Limited has once again stepped up and introduced multiple initiatives to support the country in these challenging times. In line with its core belief to make a difference in the lives of people and communities it operates in, the organisation has directed its resources towards aiding this fight against the virus. The company has spent over INR 12 crore in COVID support since the start of the pandemic last year.

Collaboration with GiveIndia to raise INR 2 crore 

Recognising that medical infrastructure is one of the most crucial needs of the hour, Marico Limited has committed to raising INR 2 Crore in collaboration with GiveIndia. The proceeds will be invested in various hospitals to strengthen the health care system in this fight against COVID-19. For every rupee that is donated by individuals, the organisation has pledged to match it in order to achieve its target. 

Given the rise in need for medical equipment, the funds will also be utilized for providing PPE kits, Oxygen generators, sanitisation stands and other hospital equipment to small hospitals across the country. 

Donation of Hygiene Kits

With a commitment to safeguard lives of those who are fighting the battle on-ground and ensuring that the machinery that manages the patients & civil affairs is not impacted, Marico Limited has donated sanitizers worth INR 1 crore across various cities to frontline professionals including government organisations, police, hospitals and health staff. The distribution of these kits has already begun in Tamil Nadu as we continue to expand our reach to include more beneficiaries across multiple states. 

Members at manufacturing plants

Marico recognises the selfless efforts put in by its own heroes including the manufacturing teams, supply chain teams, distribution partners and the sales teams in ensuring that essential products are delivered to the consumers safely in compliance with the government guidelines. To continue keeping these heroes safe, Marico has increased the safety measures and adopted all necessary precautions. 

Apart from personal protective equipment and increase in the frequency of disinfection and fumigation, Marico has established strict social distancing measures. Automated gate controls, cameras tracking adherence to social distancing protocols are some of the steps taken to ensure safety at manufacturing plants. 

Marico strongly believes that in times like these, organisations have a defining role to play. Amid the uncertainty around, Marico remains committed to serve its people, partners and communities across the country. Marico will continue to respond with responsibility and contribute every which way to ensure that help reaches out to every corner of the society.
