Reaching out for a better tomorrow
A Fortune company, a global visionary, a retail innovator... these are terms attributed to Tesco. But there's more to add - education, awareness and humanitarianism. Tesco HSC reflects the attributes that Tesco follows wherever it is located. In Bangalore, India, Tesco HSC has undertaken social projects where our employees help in bringing smiles to the lives of those less privileged.
Our theme for the Corporate Responsibility program is "Empowerment through Education". This is our fourth year of engaging with corporate responsibility program supported extensively by our staff with a strong sponsorship and commitment from the management.
Our social projects include working with:
 |
Parikrma Humanity Foundation: This is a non-profit organisation solely dedicated to empowering children, from economically backward families, through education. Their schools are located in Koramangala, Jayanagar, Sahakarnagar and Yelahanka in Bangalore. From daily studies to extra-curricular activities involving games, music and art, our volunteers are spread across these schools, visiting them weekly.

Cox Town school: Tesco HSC employees volunteer in this school on a project basis. The projects include organising a health week where AIDS awareness programmes and talks for girl students along with a general health check-up take place. A career camp for students and a personality development programme for teachers are also organised here. Tesco HSC supports this school financially and sponsors sports and annual day events here. |
Let's walk together to a greener tomorrow
HSC has recently included a number of environmental initiatives to reduce our carbon footprint. We have quite a few energy-saving initiatives like solar water heating in the kitchen and gym, motion sensing lights in our conference rooms, power smart software for all desktops, LED lightings, catalytic converter for generators, etc. We have a great green campus, but in addition we have planted 75 trees saplings, cultivated herbal garden, in addition to our organic garden. There has been efficient recycling of water for irrigation system, and a 5% reduction in supplies from external sources.
Tesco HSC employees also participate in the annual triathlon which is held in the UK every year. The triathlon is the annual Tesco charity event through which funds are raised to support various charities. Every year, people from HSC participate in this event and contribute towards this cause.
