To combat COVID-19, Embassy Group, India’s leading Real Estate company, has amplified its response over the extended lockdown order to support affected communities. #EmbassyCares is an ongoing CSR initiative by Embassy to empower and equip different sections of the society with timely help and resources. The Group has invested over 1 crore to combat the COVID-19 crisis, with significant interventions. Under the Embassy Cares program, around 2,50,000 meals have been distributed to daily wage workers and migrant families across several locations in Bangalore:
Aditya Virwani, Chief Operating Officer, Embassy Group, said, “With so many underprivileged members of our communities, daily wage and migrant workers trying to make ends meet during this crisis, it’s important that we all step up to do our part. We believe that this pandemic can only be contained if we all stay at home and provide for those who need basic food and other necessities to survive. We are grateful to our corporate tenants, our employees and customers who have extensively supported our efforts.” In addition to providing rations and meals to those in need across Bangalore, Embassy has initiated a project to support the entire personnel of Bengaluru City Traffic Police Force as they work night and day to contain the spread of the virus and enforce the nation-wide lock-down.
Eager to contribute towards mitigating the negative impacts of COVID-19, employees of the Embassy Group voluntarily donated from their salaries towards relief initiatives. In total, Embassy has raised a total of 72 Lakhs through employee donations.
Embassy’s contractors are also supporting construction workers at their camp sites through providing food rations, clean drinking water and safety measures such as regular sanitization and handwashing stations.
