You are invited to help create Sharekhan’s virtual corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme. Almost half the year is over and our CSR activities have taken a backseat in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. But think, isn’t now a good time to get active on the CSR front and help people in need?

With most of the world’s population moving to the virtual space in the lockdown, we see merit in carrying out online CSR activities that can be done from the safety of our home.

So here are two things you can do right away to kick-start our virtual CSR programme:

• Share ideas for online CSR activities at csr@sharekhan.com with the subject line “Ideas for Virtual CSR” before July 10, 2020.
• Identify non-government organisations (NGOs) that require digital assistance.

To help the CSR Committee members plan and reach out to the NGOs seeking digital assistance, we have prepared a brief questionnaire. Please click the SurveyMonkey link below to answer the questions. Employees may utilise their CSR leave to carry out all the activities that are needed to provide digital assistance to the NGOs.

The online CSR programme will also help us contribute paid volunteering hours to the BNP Paribas Group’s 1MillionHours2Help programme that aims to achieve 1 million paid volunteering hours at the group level in 2020. We have only six months left, so let us get started.
